The Stratos was built for one reason: to win rallies. Lancia dropped a Ferrari Dino V6 into a short, Bertone-designed wedge and took three consecutive World Rally Championships. The homologation road cars, around 492 of them, are now blue-chip collector pieces.
This guide covers the full specification, where values sit today, how it compares, and what matters most when you buy one.

Performance in context
The Stradale’s ~190 hp understates the car: short, light and mid-engined, it was built around the Ferrari V6 for agility, not top speed. Works rally cars made far more power.
The market: what a Lancia Stratos is worth now
The Stratos is a blue-chip rally homologation special. Good Stradale road cars typically trade around $500,000 to $900,000, with documented competition cars worth far more.

What to look for when buying
- Provenance — documented history, and especially period competition history, drives value.
- Matching numbers — the Ferrari-derived V6 and chassis numbers should be confirmed.
- Rust and structure — check the body and frame carefully; these were used hard.
- Originality — correct specification, livery and details support value.
- Restoration quality — specialist, documented restorations command the premium.
