Jay Leno loves the analog nature of Lancia's 037 Stradale homologation special
Homologation is a wonderful thing. Without it, we wouldn't have some amazing street cars based on truly legendary racing vehicles. Think Ferrari 250 GTO, Ford RS200 Evolution or Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR. Another such car is the Lancia 037 Stradale, which is the road car variant of the iconic Italian...

With a current lineup consisting of just a homely hatchback, Lancia is certainly in a sorry state considering this is a brand that once competed in Formula 1 and built luxury sedans fit for heads of state. Lancia with a little help from Italian coachbuilders such as Pininfarina, Vignale and Zagato also built a series of beautiful two-door cars in the 1950s and '60s. One of these was the Appia Lusso, and a completely original has recently paid a visit to Jay Leno's Garage. It's a 1960 model that hasn't seen a lick of fresh paint since it left the factory. But that's how Leno likes his cars...

New Stratos Production blocked by Ferrari--or not?
Not just reviving the legend of the rally-bred, off-the-walls Lancia Stratos, the New Stratos breathes new life into the name. But it won't see production, at least beyond the extremely limited kind, because Ferrari won't consent to it. Why does Ferrari have a say in the matter? Because the New...

If you're in the mood for some Molson and some fine special-edition Lancia Delta Integrale Evo hardware, it's time for a trip to Canada. Two of the cars are up for sale in Richmond, British Columbia, and they both belong to limited runs. The first, a 1992 Integrale Evo 1, is number 136 of a 400-car run of Martini 5 special editions, sold the year after Lancia took its fifth world rally championship. It's priced from $80,000 and looks every inch the rally racer, if too perfect to actually get out on the gravel and between the trees. The second is equally pristine, a 1994 Integrale Evo 2...

The Ferrari F430-based new take on the legendary Lancia Stratos is well underway, and this video gives us a better look at exactly what to expect as it undergoes chassis tuning at the Balocco test track in Italy. As an added bonus, we also have video of the car undergoing its final wind tunnel testing to prove the aerodynamics of the car. Marrying modern aerodynamics with the classic Stratos shape, the new car's design represents not so much a compromise between old and new as the best of both worlds. For more on the new Stratos, check out the official site at the link below. [New Stratos]
