The Lancia Stratos HF is one of the most recognisable cars in rallying history, developed specifically to compete at the highest levels of motorsport. This impressive 1/12 scale model kit from Italeri recreates the legendary Italian rally machine in its distinctive Pirelli livery, associated with the Stratos victory at the 1978 Sanremo Rally.
With a completed length of 35.5 cm, the model offers a substantial representation of this celebrated competition car. The kit includes new parts, chromed components, a photo-etched fret, rubber tyres and an accessories bag.
The Legendary Lancia Stratos HF
Introduced in the early 1970s as the successor to the successful Lancia Fulvia HF, the Stratos was designed with a clear objective: winning rally competitions. Its dramatic, low-profile bodywork was created by Bertone, giving the car an unmistakable appearance that remains closely associated with the golden age of rallying.
Power came from a 2,400 cc V6 engine derived from the Ferrari Dino, producing approximately 250 hp. Combined with a compact, lightweight chassis, this six-cylinder engine gave the Stratos the characteristics needed to tackle demanding rally stages.
The car’s combination of powerful performance, compact dimensions and striking design helped establish its reputation as one of the defining competition vehicles of its generation.
Distinctive Pirelli Rally Livery
One of the most memorable appearances of the Lancia Stratos was in its unmistakable Pirelli competition colours. At the 1978 Sanremo Rally, the Stratos secured an important victory in one of the championship’s most demanding events.
This Italeri release captures the character of the Pirelli-liveried Stratos, making it a particularly interesting subject for enthusiasts of historic rally cars and Italian motorsport.
