Why it matters
The Stratos was the first car designed from the outset for rallying, and the Stradale exists because it had to be homologated for Group 4. The rally cars it legitimised won three consecutive World Rally Championships in 1974, 1975 and 1976.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionStratos cars built in total, 'depending on sources, between 491 and 498'; Stradale-only share disputed | 491–4981 | Factory production | Estimated |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Marcello Gandini at Bertone created the wedge-shaped Stratos Zero concept in 1970, and the Stratos HF concept followed at the 1971 Turin show. Lancia competition chief Cesare Fiorio drove the project, with Gandini choosing a central steel monocoque and Ferrari agreeing to supply the 2.4-litre Dino V6. Road-car production began on 1 July 1972 and Group 4 homologation was granted on 1 October 1974, although output never reached the required number; sources give between 491 and 498 cars in total.
