Lancia Stratos at Vernasca 2021: HF Stradale & Group 4 Race Cars Pure V6 Sound in action!

This video is fully focused on the 5 Lancia Stratos which attended the 2021 Vernasca Silver Flag and in particular they were four group 4 rally/race cars and a yellow Stradale. Among these I was really amazed to have seen again my favorite one: the Rino Fabbri Racing (blue/green/yellow).

Lancia unveiled the Stratos HF prototype at the 1971 Turin Motor Show, a year after the announcement of the Stratos Zero concept car. That car was powered by a mid-mounted Dino Ferrari V6 engine producing 192 hp and was officially sold as Stratos HF Stradale.

Lancia undertook extensive testing with the Stratos and raced the car in several racing events where Group 5 prototypes were allowed during the 1972 and 1973 seasons.The production of the 500 cars required for homologation in Group 4 started in 1973 and it was finally homologated to race in the 1974 World Rally championship.

The Stratos rally and race cars were moved by the same Ferrari V6 engine of the Stradale but with a bit more power. It was around 275 hp for the original 12 valve version and 320 hp for the 24 valve version. Beginning with the 1978 season the 24 valve heads were banned from group 4 competition by a change to the FIA rules (which would have required additional production of 24-valve cars for re-homologation). The Stratos Gr. 4 weighed between 900 and 950 kilograms, depending on configuration.
Only 50 Stratos rally cars were built and it won the 1974, 1975 and 1976 championship titles in the hands of Sandro Munari and Björn Waldegård.

Enjoy it!
