The HF stands for High Fidelity. It was a very successful rally car, winning the in 1974, 1975 and 1976.
Lancia Stratos HF 2.4 V6 Prototype at 1973 The Stratos was a successful rally car during the 1970s and early 1980s. It started a new era in rallying as it was the first car designed from scratch for this kind of competition. The three leading men behind the entire rallying project were Lancia team manager, British racer/engineer and factory rally driver with Bertone's Designer Marcello Gandini taking a personal interest in designing and producing the bodywork.
Lancia undertook extensive testing with the Stratos and raced the car in several racing events where prototypes were allowed during the 1972 and 1973 seasons. Production of the 500 cars required for in commenced in 1973 and the Stratos was homologated for the. The Ferrari Dino V6 engine was phased out in 1974, but 500 engines among the last built were delivered to Lancia. Production ended in 1975 when it was thought that only 492 were made (for the 1976 season, the Group 4 production requirement was reduced to 400 in 24 months ).
Manufacturer of the car was in Turin, with final assembly by Lancia at the plant. Powered by the Dino 2.4 L that was also fitted to the rallying versions, but in a lower state of tune, it resulted in a power output of 190 PS; 188 bhp (140 kW) at 7,000 rpm and 226 N⋅m; 166 lbf⋅ft (23 kg⋅m) at 4,000 rpm of, giving the road car a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) time of 6.8 seconds, and a top speed of 232 km/h (144 mph). The car was sold as the Lancia Stratos HF Stradale.
Lancia Stratos HF at the Lancia centenary celebrations in Turin in 2006 The Stratos weighed between 900 and 950 kilograms, depending on configuration. Power output was around 275 hp (205 kW) for the original 12 valve version and 320 hp (240 kW) for the 24 valve version. Beginning with the 1978 season the 24 valve heads were banned from group 4 competition by a change to the FIA rules (which would have required additional production of 24-valve cars for re-homologation). Even with this perceived power deficit the Stratos was the car to beat in competition and when it did not suffer an accident or premature transmission failure (of the latter there were many) it had great chances to win.
Despite the fact that the Stratos was never intended to be a race car, there were two Group 5 racing cars built with 560 hp (420 kW), using a single KKK turbocharger. The car won the, and in the hands of and, and might have gone on to win more had not internal politics within the Fiat group placed rallying responsibility on the Abarths. As well as victories on the 1975, 1976 and, all courtesy of Munari, the Stratos won the event with the private Chardonnet Team as late as. Lancia Stratos Turbo Group 5 Without support from Fiat, and despite new regulations that restricted engine power, the car would remain a serious competitor and proved able to beat works cars in several occasions when entered by an experienced private team with a talented driver. The last victory of the Stratos was in, at the, another World Rally Championship event, with a victory by longtime Stratos privateer. When the Fiat group favoured the Fiat 131 for rallying Lancia also built two Group 5 turbocharged 'silhouette' Stratos for closed-track endurance racing.
These cars failed against the on closed tracks but proved successful in hybrid events. Stratos won a record 5 times the between 1973 and 1980, and also the 1974, 1976 and 1978, an Italian counterpart of the Tour de France Automobile. One of the cars was destroyed in, when it caught fire due to overheating problems.
The last surviving car would win the Giro d'Italia event again before it was shipped to to compete in the based Formula Silhouette series, which was never raced. The car would then be sold and reside in the Matsuda Collection before then being sold to a collector of Stratos', Christian Hrabalek, a car designer and the founder of Fenomenon Ltd, who has the largest Lancia Stratos Collection in the world, 11 unique Lancia Stratos cars, including the fluorescent red 1971 factory prototype and the 1977 Safari Rally car. His interest in the car led to the development of the Fenomenon Stratos in 2005.
The Stratos also gained limited success in, with a car, driven by Christine Dacremont and, finishing 20th in. 1970 Stratos Zero concept car displayed in the Bertone showroom The Lancia Stratos Zero (or 0) preceded the Lancia Stratos HF prototype by 12 months and was first shown to the public at the in 1970. The futuristic bodywork was designed by, head designer at, and featured a 1.6 L engine. The Lancia Stratos HF Zero was exhibited in Bertone's museum for many years. In 2011 it was sold during an auction in Italy for €761,600.
It has been displayed in the exhibit 'Sculpture in Motion: Masterpieces of Italian Design' at the in Los Angeles. It was at the in Atlanta at the 'Dream Cars' exhibit in 2014, on loan from the XJ Wang Collection of New York City. The car's body is wedge-shaped and finished in distinctive orange.
It is unusually short in length (3.58 m (141 in)) and height (84 cm (33 in)), and it shares little with the production version. The Zero appeared in 's 1988 film. Lancia Sibilo. Fenomenon Stratos At the, a British design firm known as Fenomenon, who had rights to the name, exhibited a retromodern version of the Stratos, designed by and following its exhibition at the Frankfurt show, developed. The concept was based around a mid-mounted 419 hp (312 kW) V8.

Commissioned by (a keen rally driver and chairman of Brose Group) and his son, Maximilian, the New Stratos was announced in 2010 based on the overall design and concept of the original Stratos and was designed and developed. The car made use of a as a donor car, using the chassis (shortened by 200 mm (7.9 in) resulting in a wheelbase of 2,400 mm (94.49 in)) and much of the mechanical elements including the 4.3 L V8 engine (4,308 cm3 3), tuned to generate 540 hp (400 kW) at 8,200 rpm and torque of 519 N⋅m (383 lb⋅ft) at 3,750 rpm. The New Stratos weighs 1,247 kg (2,749 lb) and is claimed to accelerate to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and on to a top speed close to 320 km/h (200 mph). While shorter than its donor car, the New Stratos is a little larger than the original Stratos, with a length of 4,181 mm (164.6 in), 1,971 mm (77.6 in) wide and 1,240 mm (48.8 in) tall. There were reports that given sufficient interest a small production run of up to 25 cars could be possible. However, Ferrari did not consent to this plan. The company even forbade its suppliers to support the project.
However, on the 10th February 2018, Italian coachbuilding firm Manifattura Automobili Torino announced that it would be commencing with the production of the originally planned 25 cars. Replicas Over the yearsthe Stratos has inspired several companies to build replicas. In the February 1989 edition, the British magazine tested a Stratos clone called HF2000 by a company called Transformer. Since 2007, Hawk Cars Ltd offers their HF2000/HF3000 series with a choice of Alfa Romeo, Lancia or Ferrari engines, including the original 2.4 litre V6 Dino engine. In of the British car TV show, a Hawk HF3000 was featured.
