The Uncompromising Legendary Lancia Stratos
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
It is hard to argue with the pedigree of the Lancia Stratos. Built with one uncompromising vision, the Stratos was produced to win WRC titles, and win it did. The agile, Dino V6-powered chassis went on to win three consecutive titles and in so doing captured the hearts of many enthusiasts. Phillip Toledano was one of those enthusiasts and for him, purchasing a car built with one purpose was a dream come true. As an artist, Phil has always been attracted to the Bertone wedge design and gives us a glimpse of what it is like to live with the fabled Stratos.

No this car is definitely beautiful, a timeless and often under-appreciated classic.
I first saw one at the Circuit of Ireland Rally in the 70s. It was black, and came at high speed over a hill. It was a vision that I've never forgotten.
This car is the definition of insanity (and oversteer). It's a car that shouldn't physically work as well as it did, but through the hands of even more insane fellas it destroyed everything else in its path and became a legend. Amazing.

What comes to my mind are two things. The first, is if you grew up with old style beach cruiser bikes, before they were called beach cruisers, and turned the handlebars and front wheel 180 degrees and road it that way, the curved forks were backwards and the bars so wanted to flip around to normal position, you had to hold them tight...but the inherent urge to turn made the ability to turn lightning fast. Kind of like the second thought, flying wing aircraft that are inherently unstable, stabilized by computer, but ready to make lighting fast moves if called upon, aided by lightning fast computer control!

it's like modern fighters, they are designed aerodinamically unstable to be more reactive in close combat. Except fighters are computer guided, while in this car there is no other help than your skill.
The best car ever. Its beautiful and it's a winner.
He's so genuinely enthusiastic about the car. I love it

That's the issue with vintage Italian. The price of a purely visceral experience is vaugly disastrous noises...unfortunately, another price is the lack of reliability due to the fact the cars were designed and built by Italians as temperamental as the cars
The Lancia "Stratos" = The Legend 🇮🇹 😍😘
I am not sure he knows how blessed this he is to be able to own such a legendary car.... man... I'd probbably have started crying a bit just getting the chance to have a good look at one in real life. This is one of my top 3 hero-cars, my eyes get watery by even seeing one in a videogame. Just thinking about being able to sit in one, let alone drive one is unimaginable for me....
" symphony of vaguely disastrous noises" excellent - know just what you mean - I had a fulvia and a delta integrale - trust me - the harder you drive it the better it will get - so go for it!

you lucky lucky man that's so awesome.
I like Phillip, the owner ... love his passion for this specific car & how he describes what it feels like to drive it. Doesn't have to be a accomplished racer or involved with the initial car design to make an interesting and delightful video. The fact he mentions being terror-stricken while driving it is an honest statement = nothing wrong with that at all.
Great to see an owner that totally gets the Stratos! I am very happy for him.
I could have bought one of these when i was in my 20's - i did not - i weep like a bay before i sleep every night.
3:30 What a collection he has! Not only the Strato's, but also an Alpine A110 and an M1. Well done, Sir!
What an amazing car, it just looks so awesome. I would have it white with the Alitalia livery on it, with rally exteriors, and yellow alloys. That would be a blast!
what is this stunning garage? theres an M1 and a Renault Alpine in the background, i want this guy's life.

The Startos wasn't designed. It escaped. Brilliant video
A Stratos, a Renault Alpine A110 AND an M1. This guy is killing me.
I have never seen a guy so excited in any petroliciousco video like MrToledano, of course if I could own an Stratos I will be felling that way too. Thx PetroliciousCo for all these amazing videos. True enthusiasts interviewing true enthusiasts for true enthusiasts followers.
Loved the humour.
beauty is in the eye of the beholder......
These have realy grown on me over the years. Lovely car. And another great video.
Thank you for this video - I once owned a Lancia Beta Scorpion- nice to meet the STRATOS.
I will seriously watch anything you guys make. Seriously the best on youtube!
Awesome video. Learnt something new today
"a symphony of vaguely disastrous noises" love it :D
The Lancia Stratos is one the coolest-looking cars I've ever seen! Thanks for showing!
beautiful car to look at, even more amazing soundtrack
Love your work guys. Keep the great content coming!

Apparantly there’s a company in the UK that makes a parts kit replica for £30,000. Not sure what engine it uses though. I know some replicas have part-for-part replicas of the original Ferrari Dino and some ones use different, more reliable and affordable engines.
His collection is one of the most tastefull thing I've ever witnessed. Cars that are absoltuley amazing to drive, legendary in their own way and smewhat unknown by most people.
This guy talking kinda sounds like the baby from the family guy

I've only ever seen 2 of these cars in real life before. One at a car show and one just recently on the road and both times I nearly jumped up and down with excitement. I'm 33, but just seeing that car makes me feel like a kid again.
The Lancia Stratos is one of the sexiest cars ever made. I used to dream of this car as a teen. This car was designed by my favorite designer Marcello Ghandini, when he was at my favorite design house Bertone. These wheels were the narrow ones used on the winter rally stages. The five star wheels were the wide ones used on the dry dirt and paved rally stages. That Ferrari Dino V6 sounds absolutely glorious. There is a UK company making kit versions with Alfa Romeo V6's in them. Top Gear's Clarkson and Hammond reviewed a red one and in another episode the kit car. Thanks.
Your finest feature to date i think. What a legend! Oh and what a collection this guy has! Alpine A 110, M1 and ...there was something else too. Damn damn damn ... And to the guy giving this a thumbs down - miss clicking this video thinking it's Jersey Shore isn't a good enough excuse. Please repent by watching all of this incredible channel's videos and give them all a thumbs up.
alpine a110 and a bmw m1 and a stratos, what a collection :)
I see a Alpine A110 in the back ground could you please make a vid of that one of my childhood dream car as well
This is the type of channel i have always dreamed about to do here, in spain... In my other channel where i upload these kind of videos i only have vlogs talking about old legends... Hope one day i can do this stuff...
yeah i hope they do a video on his M1...that's an awesome looking car.
Awesome machine!!!!
"Weapons grade"...! Hysterical....
Would have loved if you would have mic'd the interior, since he speaks so fondly of the interior noises. Great video, as always!
Seductively sleek!
One of my favorite cars ever...
Very tasteful channel
I never knew all of that about the windows and doors, that's very interesting
This is the most beautiful car in the world! ❤️
Really great, do a vid on that alpine next.
Yup, I wanna see five minutes on all the other bucket-list cars he has that we can see in his garage. Livin' the dream Buddy.
Didnt know theres a stratos here in the US....its a pretty kool and rare piece. Good to see an authentic one on the road.
Diseño único, belleza extraordinaria.
Always loved the Stratos. It seems to have many traits in common with the Sw20 3Sgte.
Definitely one of the more interesting owners on Petrolicious, (some really boring personalities on certain videos) & omg, his Stratos, & M1!

I love Stratos This Car Condition Amazing
