Lancia Stratos “Stradale” (1974-76)

Designed by Bertone’s designer Marcello Gandini. Powered by the Dino 2.4 L V6 engine that was also fitted to Stratos HF, the rallying versions, but in a lower state of tune. It resulted in a power output of 190 bhp (142 kW; 193 PS), giving the road car a 0-60 mph time of just under five seconds, and a top speed of 144 mph (232 km/h). (wikipedia)

Over three years after the Stratos Zero was first shown, production of the Stratos Stradale finally commenced in 1973. Between 1973 and 1978 just 492 examples of the Stratos were constructed to homologated the model for the 1974 World Rally Championship season, and around 50 HF competition cars were built.
