Tamiya reference 25210 recreates the spectacular Lancia Stratos Turbo in 1/24 scale.
The kit depicts car no. 539 from the 1977 Giro d’Italia Automobilistico, with its red and green Alitalia livery.
It features widened wheel arches, a large rear wing, a racing cockpit, a driver figure and steerable front wheels.
The assembled model measures 178 mm long, 89 mm wide and 50 mm high.
The Lancia Stratos holds a unique place in sports-car history. Unlike many rally cars derived from production models, it was developed primarily for competition.
Its spectacular design was created by Marcello Gandini for Bertone. The wraparound windscreen, short wheelbase and wedge-shaped body made it one of the most recognisable Italian cars of its era.
The Stratos excelled in rallying and helped Lancia win the World Rally Championship for Manufacturers in 1974, 1975 and 1976.
The Stratos Turbo took the concept much further. Developed for circuit events and mixed-discipline competitions, it received extensively modified bodywork.
Its dramatically widened arches and major aerodynamic changes transformed the original shape. A turbocharger also substantially increased engine performance.
The no. 539 car represented by Tamiya competed in the 1977 Giro d’Italia Automobilistico with Sandro Munari and Piero Sodano.
This unusual event combined different types of stages and surfaces, demanding exceptionally high-performance cars.
Its spectacular body and red, green and white Alitalia livery made it one of the most impressive versions of the celebrated Italian sports car.
