He made it look so easy that at times it was boring to watch

The greatest is Walter Röhrl and it’s not even a competition.

TDI engines are known to be one of the best diesel engines ever produced. i have 2001 vw passat with 1.9 tdi, and its the best car i have ever owned. drives smoothly after almost 400,000miles, although not as fast as modern cars, but it passes everything on its way on the high way

İ4 engines are underrated. They can be better than V8's

Marku Allen is the best of best

Spectators: Finally, a quiet car thats also powerful. Car guys: No sound? its horrible.

Damn! Wow

Camassian again. Rovanperä has hardly started.

Racing drivers didn't like opened formula cockpits because night and early morning temperatures in Le Mans can decrease down to 5-4°C in May and air streaming over windshield caused pilot's fingers hypotermic even through gloves which can be fatal aspect in combination with exhaustion from endurance racing...

Just started watching the channel. Your content is great! Keep it up! A video on the Ford RS200 would be cool to see!

the rear wheel drive lancia 037 beat the audi

It's a new way to compare F1 open wheels car restricted by rules with a close wheels car with no rules :) But it's a great work anyway. However, with some mistakes in facts as mentioned below.

The Stratos didn't win more only because Fiat decided to shift resources towards competing with a more market relevant car, the 131 Abarth.

Correction: It broke the W08 Mercedes lap record* The W11 took back the lap record!

I miss small coupe in rally

Everyone knows Diesel tastes better

I own a Lister Bell Lancia Stratos recreation with a Afla Busso 3.0L 24V V6 (226hp) and it is interesting... when people say to me "It is one of the prettiest cars" I have to disagree. In my opinion, the Stratos is not "beautiful" in the same way a Ferrari 246 Dino, Jaguar E-Type or Lamborghini Miura is beautiful. What the Stratos is, is unique. Unique in the same way a fictional space ship from a movie is unique. For example, the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars is not what I would call beautiful and yet, it is striking! It is unlike anything else. It's a testament to it's creators. The same goes for the Stratos. Nothing else is really like it. The reason for this is because designer Marcelo Gandini took design cues from unexpected places to create the Stratos shape. For instance, the windshield shape was a homage to a racing helmet visor. He figured if their racing driver has to pilot their racing car, why not put him INSIDE a helmet!? And the exterior body styling has so much Lamborghini Countach DNA in it's design... it's cut lines, slashes and kamtail like abrupt endings to body panels create a sense of purpose unlike any other car NOT designed by Gandini. I own another of Gandini's benchmarks, a Renault R5 Turbo 2, and you see this same DNA in that cars body panels as well. It's a "Gandini thing". But the Stratos takes design to such an extreme that I think we, as onlookers, just use the word "beauty" because we don't have another word in the English language that jumps to mind to help us deal with the shock of it. I mean I own one and I am shocked every time I uncover it in the garage and stand near it. It never gets old. It is never not an alarming thing to look at. It is the only car I have ever owned that I purchased solely because of how it looks. It dazzled me when I was 7 years old (1974) and it dazzles me now. Driving it however is another matter. The incredibly short wheelbase means it is agile. It doesn't really like going in a straight line, understandable in a car with a rally purpose. It's steering feels alive in your hands and the engine is immediate. It weighs 2190 lbs with a full tank and while it is not fast by today's standards, the thing is rapid as hell when you think of when it raced. Visibility out is pretty terrible just because the windshield is pretty far away and rear visibility is almost non-existent. I mean, when I have to back up, there is a bit of praying going on in the cabin. The pedal box is small. So small that when I let my buddy Dave drive the car, his shoe got jammed between the throttle and brake pedal, foot to the floor, full throttle. He had to shut the car off, roll to a stop and separate himself from his footwear so we could continue on our journey... barefoot. (It was quite funny...) Oh, and the trunk is huge. We're talking, put a keg in the back huge. Hide the dead body of your rally competition huge. It means the Stratos can actually be used on a road trip which, lets admit, is unexpected. The Stratos is just a unique thing. I hesitate to even describe it as a "car". Sure, it has 4 wheels and an engine but it is more like a living entity rather then a mode of transportation. It' breathes. It also is plotting on you. It want's you to make bad decisions. It is not your friend. I love it.

Who is this idiot doing the commentary?, what a bellend!!…..rally racing😂😂😂😂😂

Still one of my favorite rally cars of all times.

I first saw the Stratos at a rally in 1974. I was smitten. It was the fastest car I had ever seen racing in dirt roads. Iam in love with it still.

open wheel is not the fastest

That sure a long video to NOT see a car racing around a track lol

I was born in Lorraine region, Norst East of France, almost at the same time than S Loeb. By the time, Les Vosges, the mountain in the middle of the region, between Alsace and Lorraine, was, and still is, all in for rally cars. Every young people was competing in amateur racing during the weekend with his day to day car. I have seen Loeb many times up close. What struck me each time was its PRECISION. He has done many shows in its hometown neiborhood after races, consisting of drift-like figures in the center of the city, this guy was able to repeatidely puts his car within millimeters, each single time. I remember we were staring at each other noddling heads. He is really gifted, but now I understand that he was that precise due to its sheer muscular strength that he aquired in gym. So if you are gifted, start by gym and you can do anything afterward.

the stratos zero is such an insane work of art.. <3

Its Pi-ech Not peach… Atleast try

Good God, this is hard work to watch.

I remember one of these being pointed out to me in the late 70's around the streets of South London. I remember it being very stylish but actually very compact and similar in size to the average car of the day (like a Ford).

It would have been nice to actually hear the engine occassionally. Otherwise excellent video.

Great Job

The stratos has always looked like one of those unlicensed fictional vehicles in mobile games to me, not an insult though it still looks like a marble.

Sorry, had to go. The music drove me nuts

They blew up a lot.

One of the weirdest looking and THE best sounding cars EVER in motorsport history. Like Henry Ford himself was saying about Alfa Romeo, same goes for Stratos. I tip my hat💚🤍❤️

I think f1 drivers can drive. I KNOW that rally driving is a little more than that.

It didnt make f1 loon slow😂😂 it beat an 17 car then got beaten by the 18 car

And as far as Porsche's Mane design it's from 1939 all it is is a Volkswagen got a elephant sat on and they put a big engine in it build a new car does Volkswagen Beetle is not the only car Porsche can make make something new with a front engine like the most beautiful road going Porsche ever made the 9/28

I truly don't understand all this hyping about the Porsche unless there's some kind of Porsha fanatic because they've yet to win at Lemans maybe you're unaware of that you should look it up

Allow me to explain down the straightaways to hyper call was faster however when I got to the corners to Full Moon called with so much faster is that yes it went around in a world record time look it up

In case the uploader of this video doesn't know Fernando Alonso went around the LeMans course about 8 seconds faster than any LeMans hypercar look it up

The Fulvia was a beast too...!

This is wrong or am i . What about the delta . It was an absolute weapon . Won heaps of races. Shit or am i too early

Now we just have to see how unrestricted the other motorsport classes can be - but not Rally, we don't need to see that again

I hope lancia makes a new stratos for the concept car regulations for WRC

It still remained competitive in private hands just before group B. All thought it was made for rally, it was also used in cirquit racing.

that's one fast wedge

@4:22 about the only concession to practicality in the Stratos was the door pockets designed to put your helmet in! The thing truly is a pinnacle of automotive styling though. It's so good looking I'm at a bit of a loss for words describing it and I always find myself going back to Jeremy Clarkson's summation: "It just sort of is".

Lo Stratos é veramente incredibile, é la mia machina preferita, grazie per questo video 🇮🇹🇮🇹

One of the " ALL TIME BEST , ICONIC " cars...PERIOD 🏁🇮🇹🏁🇮🇹

The 205 T16 is still a boyhood dream of mine. That or the 106 Maxi.

Such a groundbreaking car! Great video 👍🏼
