Turbo-TasticLancia's Stratos was designed by the Italian luxury car maker to add to its burgeoning rally reputation. With a stunning wedge body design supplied by Bertone and powered by a midship 2.4-liter V6 Dino engine, upon its debut in global rallies it promptly reeled off three consecutive championships between 1974 and 1976, securing its place in motorsport history. The Stratos Turbo was a racetrack version of the car designed for Group 5 racing and fitted with a turbocharger that boosted output to 520hp, not to mention a highly modified body with overfenders, rear wing and other eye-catching upgrades.
This model assembly kit recreates the Lancia Stratos Turbo (originally sold as Item 24003 in 1977; not motorized this time) with updated decals, wheels, and instruction manual. The Lancia Stratos was developed by the Italian well-known car manufacturer, Lancia. With a wedge body design supplied by Carrozzeria Bertone, this rear-wheel-drive car employed a midship 2,400cc V6 DOHC Dino engine. This car achieved championships three times at the global rally races from 1974 to 1976, and based upon the Lancia Stratos, the Stratos Turbo was developed as a Group 5 endurance racecar. As the name suggests, it had a turbocharged engine capable of about 520hp.
