Lancia Stratos Zero in Turin, Italy
The Lancia Stratos Zero, a dazzling concept car from Italian auto titan Lancia, made its grand debut at the Turin Motor Show in 1970. This futuristic marvel, the brainchild of legendary car designer Marcello Gandini, was powered by a robust 1.6 L Lancia Fulvia V4 engine. With its sleek design and powerful engine, it was a glimpse into the future of automotive innovation.
The peculiar design of the car intrigued automobile aficionados across the globe, its unique style even earned it a cameo in the 1988 cinematic spectacle, Moonwalker, featuring the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. However, the car’s unconventional size and form raised safety concerns, casting a shadow over its road presence, making it a rare sight to behold on the highways.
