Just like the ol' Pantera...but not as nice.

^ Yeah but I never heard of it! I knew that was a Lancia...but never heard of a stratos. The thing looks wicked - wonder if I can buy one? It reminds me of the ol' Pantera.

They're definitely awesome. One of my favorite Italians
An original? No chance. They're a common kit car though, you may be able to find a nice replica - but even that may be tough to find in the States.


edit: One at an RM Auction. Expected to sell for $330k-$400k

^ Wow. I had noooo idea. Learned something new....

The Lancia Stratos isn’t just one of the world’s rarest cars, but one with an iconic cult following like no other. In total, 492 Stratos are believed to have been built, with the majority of them being competition or Rally race cars.

The Stradale variant of the Stratos was built for the street, a requirement Lancia had to do for rally homologation. Lancia reported that 200 street cars were built in a 12 month period but it’s widely believed that no more than 140 actually made it off the factory assembly line for public consumption.

Regardless on how many are actually on the street today, the Stratos is undoubtedly rare and now one is heading to RM Auctions with an estimated price of $330,000 to $400,000. Powered by a 2.4-liter Ferrari V6 engine, the Stratos Stradale has 190-hp mated to a five-speed manual transmission. The rally-inspired street variant features Carrozzeria Bertone’s futuristic styling by Marcello Gandini, sporting dramatic and sharp body lines.

Canadian supercar anyone?

Ya know, I actually parked one of those when a vallet way back when. I can't remember the name of it. It had a really simple interior...that's all I can remember.


Here's a newer Canadian supercar. The Plethore?
