Eye Candy: The Lancia Stratos HF
« on: December 17, 2009, 12:57:00 pm »
When the Lancia Stratos made its debut in the 1970's, it seemed to be something that came from outer space. It's said that its name was given by a designer who said that the car looked as if it belonged in the stratosphere instead of the ground. To this day, the Stratos' form remains one of the most unique and distinctive in automotive history. That it became a rally legend in the 1970's and 1980's is icing on the cake, so to speak. In my opinion, it will forever be one of the most beautiful cars in the world.

Even the prototype was a visually striking piece of work.




The early design iterations of the Stratos.




The Stratos in rally colors.




The future heir of the Lancia Stratos: the Fenomenon Stratos.

si wheeljack yan laffman::
maganda nga itong design na ito lalo na yun kamukha ni wheeljack (white w/green,red stripe)
pero yun updated concept na stratos gawa lang ng ibang company hindi siya gawa ng lancia... unofficial but very sleek, ang ganda ng curves at edges, makikita parin yun heavy resemblance sa old lancia stratos, ang galing!!! ;D

Yes, the Fenomenon Stratos will no longer be under the Lancia name but, if it ever gets produced, I hope it adds further to the Stratos legend.

 ;D ;D ;D thanks BlueAlphaZero ;D ;D ;D
am a fan of G1... although maganda yun TF ni michael bay, it didnt really give justice to the G1 series, kung baguhin niya mga itsura ng characters sana niretain man lang mga colors nila or at least in robot form, for the most of them, IMO its very hard to distinguish who's who kapag sama sama na sila, bots and cons alike expect for prime and bumblebee i guess  ;D

Hope we could see the light of the new fenomenon stratos very soon minus the split windshield (i think it would be prettier if buo windshield nya just like the old stratos), 2005 pa ata kasi yun debut nun, since then parang wala ng balita :(

sa tingin ko di yan sa pinas... wala siguro nyan dito... sa iisang garage... lancia stratos both production and prototype plus a european looking white classic car (parang kahawig ng Miura yun headlights pero magkaiba lang ng front bumper) and a european vespa lookalike scooter? super yaman siguro nyan kapag meron tayo dito sa pinas na iisa lang may-ari ;D
