The Lancia Stratos was an automobile made by Italian car manufacturer Lancia.

The Stratos was famous as a rally racing car during the 1970s and 1980s. It was designed by Bertone and based on a concept car first shown at the Turin Motor Show in 1971. Lancia took on production and produced them throughout the 1970s.
The Stratos had a distinctive crescent-shaped wrap-around windshield providing maximum forward visibility with almost no rear visibility (which was unnecessary for rallying anyway). The body was wedge-shaped, and unusually short and wide, providing maximum traction.
The engine was a mid-mounted 190 bhp (142 kW) 2418 cc Dino Ferrari V6.
With only 492 ever made, the Stratos is very rare.
Fenomenon Stratos
At the Geneva Auto Show of 2005, a British design firm known as Fenomenon debuted a retromodern concept version of the Stratos. No production plans have been announced.
