Lancia Stratos HF In High Fidelity

This banshee needs no introduction. Check out these awesome videos of this mid-engine rear wheel drive Italian sports car that won three consecutive Rally Championships from 1974 to 1976. It's also the very first focus driven vehicle designed specifically to tackle the World Rally stages.

If you can't feel the endolymph vibrating within your eardrums, then you haven't turned the speakers up enough!

Vincenzo Lancia Rolls In His Grave

The partnership between Fiat and Chrysler was supposed to be a beautiful thing. After a very long absence, Fiat returns to North America making a statement with the blockbuster Fiat 500. In a few months time, we are promised the return of the fabulous Alfa Romeo marque as well.

However, things get ghastly when they're switched around. The new Chrysler 200 convertible, essentially the old Sebring that car enthusiasts love to hate, will soon be sold in Europe as a rebadged Lancia. It's an insult. Whatever the heck happened to the company that was behind the awesome Lancia Stratos long ago?

One word. Tragedy.

Italian Passion with Little Distraction

Italy produces some of the most lust worthy pieces of sheet metal in all the world.  Just the mere sight of them can make a person all teary-eyed and weak in the knees.  This Lancia Delta Integrale isn't one of those sensuous pieces of steel but still has the same crisis-inducing effects.
