Italeri 1/12 4721 Lancia Delta HF 12V GR4 Sanremo 1987 Rally Car Plastic Kit

The Lancia Stratos is one of the most iconic cars in the history of motorsport and was specifically designed with the precise aim of winning the rally competitions of its era. Intended to replace the equally famous Lancia Fulvia HF, it made its debut in the early 1970s. Featuring a modern and extremely striking design, with a low and highly aggressive bodywork created by Bertone, the Lancia Stratos was equipped with a 2,400 cc V6 engine derived from the Ferrari Dino, producing 250 hp. The combination of the powerful six-cylinder engine and the innovative, lightweight and compact chassis provided the foundation for the creation of a car that changed the history of off-road competition. At the 1978 Sanremo Rally, a demanding and challenging event, the Lancia Stratos, distinguished by its unmistakable Pirelli livery, achieved an outstanding victory on one of the toughest and most difficult stages of the championship.
