How A Supercar Would Conquer The Dirt

A lot of people out there may think of Lancia as some old car maker who's products fall apart at the slightest touch and will break down at every turn, but legendary cars like the Lancia Stratos prove that they knew how to build some absolute monsters too.

Car Retrospective is the series where we look at cars of all shapes and sizes, of all backgrounds and nationalities- if it has at least three wheels and has an engine of some sort, it may appear. We uncover the true histories of some of our much loved cars, such as the Bugatti Veyron to the Audi Quattro, and from the Lamborghini Countach to the Ford Crown Vic. It's all here!

Could you see a Stratos successor making an appearance under the newly relaunched Lancia brand?

[@askerleaves1614]

I hope not because steilantis probably might find a way to ruin it

[@donnycorn3086]

@@askerleaves1614 like they did with their own ME412? (counter argument, it was Mercedes that killed the thing, not the Fiat Chrysler brand themselves).

[@SomeOne_86]

No, because they'll make an EV out of it :/

[@vintageman91]

To be honest , they would probably just make a Chrysler with a low roof and electric engine then call it a stratos.

[@kado51393]

@@SomeOne_86 so an even faster version that has better handling? Sound like a win to me.

[@MateTsirekidze]

Really nicely edited vid. Underrated chanel, keep up the work!

[@thegreenbean5891]

I prefer the 037 personally. It's Grp B championship is probably the greatest underdog story in rally.
The team were also notorious for cheating as only Italians can! Great video mate, love your channel.

[@bayersrig4260]

There's a movie about it coming this year too

[@MrSandro59]

where and when did they cheat? tell me the story as only people from your country notoriously can do...

[@yippydoddlecarson6375]

I think it's probably one of if not my all time favourite car

[@keirebu.bakure]

I have a hot wheels lancia stratos (the red Monte Carlo Rallye version) one of my favorite cars 💚🤍❤️

[@ryunekoyashiki]

one of the most sick rally car ever 🥰😍😘
*this channel is freakin underrated 😅

[@mrkipling2201]

It always reminded me of Blue Stratos aftershave. Maybe they could have done an advertising campaign between the two products??

[@notanthing3343]

Lancia Stratos is the most sexy car ever made

[@JackohMotors]

Very hard to argue against that statement!

[@bayersrig4260]

10:46 lol

[@MrSandro59]

the comments on brand reliability are completely idiotic. The guy should study a bit the story of 'true' Lancia. His comments can be comparable to those who despise Jaguar for making the driver return home by train 50% of times. And Lucas gear 'prince of darkness' grounding all British cars. In other words, just trivial stereotypes.

[@JackohMotors]

I am literally a massive Lancia fan. But if you think old Lancias are known for their great reliability then I'm sorry but you are simply wrong.

[@MrSandro59]

@@JackohMotors dad had 3 'true' Lancia: an Appia and 2 Fulvia, a GT and a Series 2. I had 2 'after FIAT' Lancia, 3 if we count an Ypsilon. The Appia and Fulvia were simply outstanding when compared to the contemporary competition. Of course in '60 and '70 no car was hassle free as we are used now 50 years later, they all needed careful maintenance. But the build quality of the Lancia was unparalleled. If you happen to be close to a properly restored Fulvia sedan just count the number of rubber gaskets around the door opening. My Lancias were what you call now 'premium' in their segment and well on par with their competitors, but not a class apart as the pre-1970 models. They were quite reliable: the only time I had two days stop was with the Delta whose radiator fan engine failed and had to be replaced. But was already 5 years and 220.000 km old, and could anyway drive home from Switzerland. Apart from this, I never had to leave the cars except for scheduled maintenance. I know that the first batches of the Beta had a lot of problems, like all cars build in Italy in those years, luckily I was to poor to buy a Lancia in that time :)
