In the auto racing world, the Lancia Stratos HF (Tipo 829) is a legendary vehicle that won the World Rally Championship in 1974, 1975 and 1976. What really made the Stratos Zero stand out is that it was designed by Bertone designer Marcello Gandini whom had already designed the Lamborghini Miura and was working on the Countach at the time. Guilherme Araujo wanted to give it a modern makeover and thus the Lancia L Concept was born. Read more for a video, additional pictures and information.
In case you are wondering, the Lancia Stratos Zero did make an appearance in Michael Jackson’s 1988 film Moonwalker. The stunning wedge-shaped Lancia Stratos Zero can now be seen in person at the Petersen Automotive Museum’s “Sculpture in Motion: Masterpieces of Italian Design” exhibit.
