Still the gnarliest rally car ever! From the golden days when motorsports had a bit more fuck it and a bit less engineering. Stick a 280 HP Ferrari V6 into a wedge of provolone on wheels?...sure! Let's make the back tires twice as wide as the front too. Homologation (there's your vocab word for today) was a joke too with only about 400 ever made and complete lack of rear visibility. Note windows rolled down halfway, that's as far as they went and reportedly the Stratos was hot as shit inside for the driver and co. Also listen to the engine sounds, these guys had to coast half the time since the "go" was about three times too much for the "stop" and "turn". Oh, for just one run up Magnolia in one of these bad boys...
