Lancia Ypsilon, 2024. Though designed in-house at the Stallantis Torino Centro Stile the new Y references design details from Lancia's past. The car's front adapts the wide-angle "grin" from Bertone's Lancia Kayak concept revealed in 1995 while the round taillights are directly linked to Bertone's Lancia Stratos HF from 1971. It is ironic that the new Lancia draws from Bertone's Lancia portfolio because far more series production Lancia's were designed at Pininfarina

MAT Stratos
This MAT Stratos is the first car produced, of which 25 examples were supposed to be produced, however only 8 are believed to have been produced in total. Which makes highly desirable and an incredibly rare vehicle.The Mat Stratos is a truly phenomenal car, it all started when the industrialist and car collector Michael Stoscheck contacted the then Pininfarina’s Special Projects Manager Paolo Garella, with a rather odd but fascinating request. He wanted to build a one-off reinterpretation of the infamous 1970’s Lancia Stratos.
In the 1970´s Lancia was already enjoying considerable success in international rallying with a modified version of the Fulvia, but with the Stratos, Cesare Fiorio, co-founder of the HF Corse team, saw possibilities to create a purpose-built rally car from top to bottom. The outcome was the mid-engined Lancia Stratos, which looked nothing like the traditional rally cars at the time, but there was never no doubt that Cesare Fiorio knew what he was doing. The car ended up being a massive success and winning the world rally Championship 3 years in a row. Fast forward over 3 decades The Manufacturer M.A.T turned this idea into reality with a limited number of 25 one-off reinterpretations of the infamous Stratos being planned for produced.
The New Stratos as it´s called colloquially, is equipped with a powerful mid-engine V8, while at the same time being extremely light weight, and features a short wheelbase just as the original Stratos did So the New Stratos has the best of the 70´s styling, now equipped with modern technology and design, overall the New Stratos, is a phenomenal engineering creation equipped with an incredible history.
This Exact New Stratos is finished in Alitalia spec, which is the same as One of the most admired Stratos, the extraordinary Lancia Stratos Gr.4 Alitalia (1974) that won the Portugal Rally in 1976 and came second in the Monte Carlo Rally in 1977. It is finished with the striking red-white-green livery in honor of it´s at that time main sponsor Alitalia. The result of the production of the MAT Stratos is absolutely stunning, Often when cars are produced in such low numbers as this, the quality in the build can lack quality and precision.. But that’s not at all the case with this, quite opposite actually. When you are inspecting the Stratos you are blown away by the sense of quality and precision, they put into the car. Even the smallest detail is finished to perfection on this car.

Marcello Gandini’s cars were made to stop the traffic. The Italian designer, who has died aged 85, created supercars for the super-rich, and such exotic machines as Lamborghini’s Miura and Countach, Alfa Romeo’s Montreal and Maserati’s Khamsin were guaranteed to draw crowds of admirers when parked outside the grand hotels of Monaco, Rome or London.
As the chief designer of the Bertone company, he also worked at the more modest end of the market, creating the little Autobianchi A112 and the original version of the Volkswagen Polo, and restyling the British Mini for the Italian Innocenti firm. For those wanting a miniature supercar, there was Fiat’s two-seater X1/9, a striking little wedge with its four-cylinder engine mounted transversely behind the cockpit, mimicking the location of the Miura’s mighty V12.
Gandini designed for the space age, renouncing the smooth curves that defined the aesthetic principles of his predecessors. To him the Miura, which first appeared in 1966 and which many consider the most breathtakingly beautiful car ever made, was a flawed compromise. “The audacity was made acceptable by the sweetness, by the flow of the design,” he said. “Nobody rejected the Miura. There was immediate consensus. Even more than it deserved. I was at the beginning of my career and I didn’t have enough autonomy to be able to do exactly what I wanted.”
The Countach, altogether more extreme, even outlandish, was closer to his ideal on its unveiling in 1974. Sightings on the streets of London gave rise to the rumour that the width of its huge tyres made it the only car in the world that could not be wheel-clamped by parking wardens.
“For me,” Gandini said, “it represented the dream. It took years before it was totally accepted. Some people liked it straight away, but most, including journalists, took a long time. So much so that it remained in production for 17 years.”
Born in Turin, Gandini was the son of a pharmacist who, after the arrival of five children, had abandoned his first career as a classical composer and conductor. It was hoped that Marcello would become a concert pianist. There were piano lessons from the age of four, continued when he went to a Salesian boarding school at eight. But as a child he dreamed of cars and when, during his days as a student, his parents gave him the money to buy a Latin textbook, instead he spent it on a book called Motori Endotermici (Endothermic Engines) by Dante Giacosa, the great designer of the highly successful prewar Fiat 500 “Topolino”and its 1950s successor, the ubiquitous Nuova 500. His course was set.
At the age of 25, Gandini approached the celebrated Turin coachbuilder Nuccio Bertone, who gave him a job in the design studio. Soon he would take over as the firm’s chief designer from the prolific Giorgetto Giugiaro, who had drawn up the Maserati Ghibli and various handsome Alfa Romeos before leaving to start his own business.
Sometimes Gandini seemed to exist in the realm of the “concept car”, prototypes that explored new ideas without restraint, displayed at motor shows in much the way that Parisian couturiers produce extreme designs for the catwalk. The four seats of the unique Lamborghini Marzal, for instance, were upholstered in silver leather, while its bodywork and fittings made use of a hexagonal motif. The famous vertically opening “scissor doors” of the Countach were first seen at the 1968 Paris Motor Show on Alfa Romeo’s one-off Carabo.
Gandini was said to be responsible for around 200 designs. Among them were two mid-engined classics of the 1970s, Ferrari’s Dino 308 GT4 and the Lancia Stratos. The dramatically wedge-shaped Lancia won the world rally championship three years in a row between 1974-76 in the hands of Sandro Munari and Bjorn Waldegaard, while Munari also won the Monte Carlo Rally three times in a Stratos.
A car, Gandini believed, was not a work of art – “but it has in common with art the ability to generate emotions”. He played down the significance of his innovations. “I didn’t invent penicillin,” he said. “These are just ideas that came to me.” After leaving Bertone in 1980 to set up his own studio, he worked on many projects, including industrial and interior design.
The father who had wanted him to become a classical pianist finally overcame his disappointment at Marcello’s choice of profession when he was taken for his first ride in a Miura. “Only then,” his son said, “did he understand that I knew how to make other notes sound – those of engines.”
Gandini is survived by his wife, Claudia, with whom he lived in a restored abbey at the foot of Monte Musinè, outside Turin, their son and daughter, Marco and Marzia, and three grandchildren, Lucrezia, Costanza and Pietro.

TopDragon, ep 1, pt 1.
youtube
Qibli: Hello everyone welcome to TopDragon! I'm Qibli!
Turtle: Hi, I'm Turtle.
Winter: Prince Winter.
Qibli: This is a new series where-
Winter: Where you'll watch two idiots and one dragon of class drive the stupidest cars known to Dragon.
Qibli: Winter we talked about this off set.
Winter: Yeah well you said I'd get five silver and I decided it's not worth it.
Turtle: Well before we fall down the rabbit hole of Winter and Qibli bickering like a married couple I'd like to say this cave is huge!
Qibli: Yeah! The producers wanted to start the series with A bang!
Turtle: About that who our are producers?
Qibli: Not quite sure to be honest.
Winter: I'm sorry, your not sure!?
Qibli: I didn't question it.
Winter: I am going to throw you in a frozen lake.
Qibli: Before that I'd like to answer an age old question, which kingdom makes the best cars? So the producers told us to pick our favorite cars from a specific kingdom and take them on the ultimate road trip from the sand kingdom, to the heart of the mud kingdom.
Winter: And I hated every moment of it.
Turtle: Roll the footage!
*Fade to black*
*Fade into footage of the vast sand kingdom.*
Qibli over the footage: The sand kingdom is a vast place to explore. A vast culture filled with history, Long, fast stretches of road....
*A loud engine roars by the camera as a blur.*
Qibli as a black Dodge Charger with a supercharger roars into view: And home of the Muscle car.
Qibli in the car: The 1970 Dodge Charger is an absolute legend. Powerful, looks good anywhere you put it, and most importantly- *Shifts gears and the engine revs* loud.
*The car flies past the Camera as it cuts to Qibli rolling through a town with tons of dragons. He rolls to a stop in a parking lot outside a restaurant. And gets out of the car.*
*Suddenly a clean, white R35 Gtr rolls up and pulls up next to the Charger. Winter then gets out with a look of shock on his face.*
Winter: What on the three moons?
Qibli: You like it?
Winter: Qibli as much as it fits you, the only thing worse you could have bought was a Mustang.
Qibli: You can't talk! You bought an R35.
Winter: A car of class while yours screams Red necks and mechanical problems.
*Qibli start bickering in the background while the camera begins cutting back and fourth showing tires passing by the camera hidden behind walls and market stalls*
Turtle in the inside: I think I'm lost.
*Cut to Qibli and Winter with looks of shock on their faces*
Winter: No way.
Qibli: You can not be serious.
*The Famous Lancia Stratos HF rally edition in a dark green/blue rolls to a stop and Turtle gets out.*
Turtle: Good, I found you.
Winter: I'm sorry, but out of all the cars you could have chosen you choose that?
Qibli: Now hold on, that car is legendary.
Winter: Yeah but they had next to no safety the only thing more dangerous would be a group B car.
Turtle: In my defense, you have not driven one through the rainforest.
Winter: Great so we have a car with more horsepower than the driver has sense, a car of class, and a death machine with a dragon who's never gone over 40 in his life.
???: Qibli!
*Everyone turns to see Kinkajou dive into Qibli's arms*
Qibli: Kinkajou! What are you doing here?
Kinkajou: I heard you were recording a tv show!
Winter: You can't just jump at us on camera.
Kinkajou: Well I wanted to make an entrance. The people in charge sent me with this!
*Kinkajou hands Qibli a paper.*
Qibli: Great, our first challenge!
Qibli reading it out loud: Now that you have arrived you will drive to a remote oasis to get to know your cars before your first test.
Kinkajou: Oh don't go yet!
Winter: We can't waste time.
Kinkajou: Awww...
Qibli: We'll make sure to stop by Jade mountain academy on the way through the sky kingdom.
Kinkajou: Alright. And all of you three better make it!
Turtle: Don't worry, we will.
*Soon the three are in their cars and are rolling out.*
Kinkajou: Good luck you three!
*The cars roll off as the camera cuts to a tiny scorpion scurrying across the sand before cutting to show the sleek black paint of the Dodge Charger and cutting to the inside*
Qibli: The Dodge Charger is a iconic car. Vin Diesel drove it on The fast and the furious, it stared in Dukes of Hazard- *Quick gear shift before passing Turtle* and it is the drag racing king.
Winter over the footage of the Charger driving: While sand snorter was busy acting like a two year old, I was driving in a car of status.
*Cut to the inside of the GTR*
Winter: Now despite the long hot roads this car is smooth. Nissan knows how to make cars that nobles can use to their proper potential.
*Winter slows down and heads into the empty left lane and matches Qibli's speed.*
Winter over radio: You know what I really enjoy sand snorter? Air conditioning.
Qibli: Jokes on you, I love this heat.
*Cut to Turtle in the Lancia*
Turtle: I am becoming a boiled fish.
Winter over the footage as the cars slow to a stop: Unfortunately, Qibli decided to bring is to a stop for a ridiculous game.
Turtle out of his car and sitting in between the two other cars side by side on the road: So you two want to drag race?
Winter: More like he bigger me until we stopped.
Qibli: You are going to enjoy this and you know it.
Winter: Sure.
Qibli: Count us down Turtle!
*Dynamic camera angles showing off the revving cars as Turtle counts down*
Turtle: Go!
*Winter takes off but a loud bang suddenly brings Qibli's car to a stop off the line*
Qibli slamming the dashboard: Dang it!
*Fade black and then fade into footage to the giant cave with Qibli, Winter, and Turtle.*
Winter: I can't believe you ended it on a cliff hanger.
Turtle: Well cliffhangers can be a good tool to build suspense.
Winter: Don't start now sand snorter.
Qibli: Well join us next time as we bring on a special guest.

Lancia teases concept ahead of brand's rebirth
Lancia has teased a new concept ahead of its reveal mid-next month during Milan Design week.
The new concept appears to bear some resemblance to the historic Lancia Stratos with its angular lines and round tail lights.
The photo shows only the left rear corner of the new concept, which Lancia will reveal on the April 15.
Last year Lancia revealed its Pu+Ra Zero “three-dimensional manifesto”…

Lancia Stratos Zero Concept, 1970, by Bertone. Cited as one of the studies that has influenced the design of the new Lancia Pu+Ra HPE Concept. Marcello Gandini's Stratos Zero is one of the most influential concepts of all time and was Bertone's first design for Lancia. It was powered by Lancia's V4 engine.

Lancia Pu+Ra HPE (concept car).
The Pu+Ra HPE's strong resemblance to the Stratos is not meant to anticipate the return of the legendary sports coupe. In fact, the intention of the concept car is not to show what a specific model will look like, but rather to give a first glimpse of the direction that Lancia's styling and design will take in the next 10 years. At 4.4 meters long, it is exactly halfway between the 4.0 meters of the new Ypsilon and the 4.8 meters of the future Delta. The front lighting will also act as a battery charge indicator. Lancia's future will be electric and the acronym HPE itself reminds us of this. Borrowed from the 1970s Beta, where it stood for High Performance Estate, it now stands for High Performance Electric. An impressive front end made up of few lines, to give shape to a geometry without frills, which accompanies the rest of the body, where the straight segments join circular shapes, which are illuminated at the rear where they give life to minimalist light groups. that hold the spoiler. And in the center, we find the new three-dimensional Lancia inscription. Also inside the Lancia concept, the simple lines of the bodywork return, with circular shapes that give life to the front and rear central 'tables' and the spectacular system display of infotainment, animated by the interface S.A.L.A., an acronym for Sound, Air, Light and Augmented. The focus of the Lancia Pu + Ra HPE is on style, and there is no talk of mechanics, engines or anything like that. The only thing we know is that it is electric, like the Ypsilon, and the aforementioned Delta.

Angelleli Automobili reinterprets the Lancia Delta Integrale
The Lancia Delta is no exception to this rule. We obviously mentioned MAT’s “New Stratos”, the “Futurist” and Automobili Amos’ off-road “Safarista” or the electrified variant of GCK. This time, it is the model developed by Angelelli Automobili called “Hintegrale”, thus playing on the famous name of the famous HF Integrale released in 1987. But more than a restomod, it is rather a a…
