Lancia Stratos
This small two-seater is one of the most recognizable wedge-shaped cars ever. In the mid-’70s, Lancia wanted to go rally racing and made their first purpose-built rally car in the form of the Stratos (via Lancia Stratos).
However, they had the design, not the engine, so the company borrowed a compact V6 from Ferrari. Lancia powered by Ferrari created a legend and became world champion in 1977. The Stratos combined several essential factors to be recognized as a nearly perfect driver’s car.
