One of the greatest combination of shapes and angles ever! To think that this masterpiece was built almost FIFTY years ago is mind-boggling. Outstanding video. I never thought I'd be able to see / hear the car run. Thanks very much!
My 1st car at 17 yrs old was a bright red Lancia Beta coupe in 1987. I've had many cars since then but none of them have made me feel like that red Italian sports car made me feel❤ Stratos is the pinnacle of the ultimate car.🤩
A master piece of shit... bad electrical problems... bad transmission... bad sitting position.. bad engine... just full of italian expensive bull shit...
It really makes you wonder how on earth he pretends to drive it on a circuit.. The last thing this thing is ready for is to be driven elswhere than on concours venues
@@vintagetractorsaustralia it’s still built with the same layout. If there is a car over taking you you will not know. The rear and lateral visions are almost inexistent, the safety of that driving position is a joke and if the car flips no way to get pulled out. It’s useless. As soon as he’s done and someone offers an interesting sum of money he’ll gladly get rid of it. It’s a rolling coughin
@@augustinf oh yea I never said it was safe. But I think his will still be a bit more user friendly than the original. But I have no doubt that after he has his fun with it, he will sell it to find another project.
@@lefunk22 As if the new Mercedes AVTR isn't just as impractical lol The Stratos Zero design also gave birth to the Lancia Stratos which, btw, won the World Rally Championship for three consecutive years among many other competitions during the 70s Just saying
Belissimo Guigiaro! "The union of the mathematician with the poet, fervor with measure, passion with correctness, this surely is the ideal"- William James I would fix that reverse gear though...
Because the eventual Stratos was a car specifically designed for rally races so it could not be so extremely low and with a so dangerous fornt window. On top of that the rally stratos has a Ferrari six cilinders engine instead of the Lancia four cilinders of the zero prototipe.
Questa macchina era alta soltanto 840 cm e fu la mamma della stratos HF denominata appunto "progetto zero",si narra che Bertone varcò i cancelli della Lancia la prima volta senza alzare la sbarra passandoci sotto. Fu costruita come prototipo futuristico al fine di attirare l'attenzione sul marchio,successivamente venne appunto seguita dalla HF che tanto vinse nei rally e ancora oggi è considerata una delle piu belle vetture mai prodotte.
I would love to build a replica of that car, and I'd make it electric. As a driveable car, however, you'e have to add some things. It has no rear view mirror, no side view mirrors, no wipers, no airbags, no usable headlights. But it would still be a great project.
Wrong all the aerodynamic and practical concepts. Where are the windshield wipers? I LOVE HIM!!! IT IS PERFECT!!! Gandini maestro dei designer!!!!! FOR THAT CAR, I WOULD PAY U$D 2 M!!!

The beginning of Marcello Gandini wedge design that later inspired Lamborghini Countach, Diablo and many others 👌

Jesus, Lancia Beta coupe is one of my favorite old timer! You have been lucky to own one
Incredible ! 😮
Only italians can create "something" like that !
true masterpiece
True masterpiece that no one can reproduce...
Apart from Casey Putsch who’s building a V12 version.
A este carro lo ví en una AutoExpo en 1969 o 1970 en el palacio de los deportes en la CdMx. Siendo niño este concepto me impactó fuertemente.
Incredible, made in 1970, and still looks futuristic!
A piece of art, a masterpiece, the most futuristic automobile ever, way head of it's time, Marcello Gandini best design.
A master piece of shit... bad electrical problems... bad transmission... bad sitting position.. bad engine... just full of italian expensive bull shit...
Casey Putsch is building a impression and real driving one now on his channel :D

@@augustinf that’s why he is building his own version. It will still be hard to drive though.

Nice to see the end goal. With modern technology cameras can help.
This car looks fast, but I’ve never seen it move faster than a 1kmh 😅
That's because doesnt have an engine maybe. Only brakes and in downhill.
@@miltiadiskyriakopoulos317 2:22 Sounds like an engine tbh
On the highway it can reach up to 2kmh
🤣🤣🤣
I think the owner only drives it 1 KMH because it has now rear view mirrors and no back window I love the car but it has no rear view visibility.
Gosh, this car is 50 years old and still 50 years ahead of its time!
Amazing 70's Design!!! :-)
Must be the world record holder for largest blind angles.
Oh well, if you have Avril Lavigne just besides you
only Italians can deliver style to this level.
...of total impracticality!!!
...and don´t forget the Maserati Boomerang!

Just saying
Amen to that
This was the car in Michael Jackson's moonwalker. I was wondering if it was a concept. I didn't realize it was a 1970 though, pretty cool.
Yes! I knew I had seen it somewhere
That's correct! You know your history
The one in his video was a copy and he had it when he died.
L W How fast could this baby actually go?
They built a replica for the movie. I asked the special effects coordinator.
I think this car wins the prize of coolest bonnet in automotive history.
Italian extreme styling 👍❤️😁
The cars from 2020 are boring me so much!! We need more cars like that!!!
Belissimo Guigiaro! "The union of the mathematician with the poet, fervor with measure, passion with correctness, this surely is the ideal"- William James
I would fix that reverse gear though...
In an alternate reality, this was the time machine in Back to the Future
Love it so much!
If this car went to the future it would still be futuristic 😎
is beautiful stratos zero 👍🏻👏🏻
I love this color. Have it on my 350z
I always loved this car and always will
Sleek and futuristic
A masterpiece
Absolutely beautiful and totally bonkers! How come the eventual Stratos looked so different?
This was way more epic!
Because the eventual Stratos was a car specifically designed for rally races so it could not be so extremely low and with a so dangerous fornt window. On top of that the rally stratos has a Ferrari six cilinders engine instead of the Lancia four cilinders of the zero prototipe.
I had a Matchbox version of this car when I was a kid.
Ah cool! You lucky

Nice Lamborghini!
How many where build back then? I have seen this one and one in silver.
Che auto sensazionale!!! Saluti da Bubi di Adria
How many times did he spin the wheels for that turn
Que diseño y estetica.muy por delante de su epoca :)
50 years passed but even now this car looks like it came from the distatn future
Un'opera d' Arte eccellente.
no rear view or side view? how does this even work?
Lovely car but they do look hilarious driving it 😁
To be honest I don't understant why people love the design of this car, don't hate me 🙂
This is what Hot Rod should be in live action
I want to see that thing race!!
Wow Wow Wow !
So far ahead of it's time.
1:04 pasosu ver qabağa 😂
Sembra un agò
Back to the Future
What if a stratos zero would look like as a Time Machine?
What's the difference between the Modulo and the Statos?
I'm sure she's actually quite beautiful, but that lady looks ABSOLUTELY ENORMOUS in that car. LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
Man, I bet these are super rare!
Only 1 or 2 are have been made
Coloca ele pra fazer o novo filme 007
Coolest. Car. Ever.
Steering wheel comes off. Figured something like that.
прошло почти 50 лет, а лучше так и не смогли ничего сделать
Wunderschöners Auto
So weird shape, It looks like future car come from the past!
Vehicles Eyes TV this statement sounds like dumb person come from present.
Sad irony: A super futuristic looking car powered by antique internal combustion technology.
How do you get in and out without scratching the paint?
The black square part in the front is a rubber pad, you stand on the black rubber and climb in from the front.
It's Avril Lavigne sitting on a passenger's seat
Avril 😍❤
Idk if im just dumb or if that's Avril Lavigne in the car at the start...
It isB
In a head - on collision?...what could happen to the driver?
Hotwheels or Johnny lightning needs to make this
Gee buddy very much thanks for the kind ❤....all love and blessings to you 🙏
Today an electric version would appeal
OMG , they take a ride in Michael's mechanical body👀😬🤪🤭😅😂
A dump truck has less blind spots
Как на такой машине везти с рыбалки 3 -4 ведра устриц , и как в ней сношаться ?
Это для покатушек на выходных.

All that money and it dont go backwards
It's not very fancy having your car pushed by 3 people and neither is that unrefined sound, but the Stratos Zero is great.
Looks great, but imagine the cost of maintenance
How many of these are for sale in the world?
About 1 or 2 have been made!
ok i get that it is a concept car but has this thing ever done more than 2mph ???
Lol, I was thinking the same thing! The engine sounds like they got it out of an old Kubota tractor 🤣
I had an X-19 in the exact same color
Recon his bird should stop thinking about the hamburger van !! X
На такой машине и под КамАЗ не страшно залететь .
Looks like a 6/10 scale model car
Очень удобно в этом автомобиле 👍👍😂
Hey Marcello!
Its like a worm in a frozen track.
Isn't this Pink Panter's car?
No that was pink American front wheel drive and twice as long! - but just as low
@0:21 wait is that Avril Lavigne sitting in that HF ZERO?!?! what she doing there?? wow
Porque quien lo maneja ahi en ese momento era su novio.
ベルトーネも倒産したから此の手のイベントなもうないかな？
フェラーリレインボーの動画がみたい
Of course you have to have Avril in the passenger seat, even with three people pushing the car.
is that a lamberini?
More punani
Двери нет но есть вход со стороны лобового стекла.
Did anybody recognize the owner of the Lancia?
Phillip Sarofim and his gf Avril Lavigne.
That’s correct!
This is how rich people roll..
"Cuánto cuesta esa monstruosidad?"
For people who want to be a spectacle
I want this car. How much？
Ноги в качестве ланжеронов )))
Looks like it would be awkward as hell, to drive. That windshield is only a few inches from the drivers face.
Sounds like a Sopwith Camel and must be a nightmare to drive when you can't see anything but in front.
Чего они не показали как туда залазят. В этот мини гроб.
Why does everyone wanna touch it and rub there leg against it arrggghhh would do my head in if i owned it
Wrong all the aerodynamic and practical concepts. Where are the windshield wipers?
I LOVE HIM!!! IT IS PERFECT!!! Gandini maestro dei designer!!!!! FOR THAT CAR, I WOULD PAY U$D 2 M!!!
Could very well looks like an electric car
all people like a panic
This is a beautiful car. Now take it out on the highway and open it up ffs
Beautiful car! But it sounds like they are trying to drive it around in only one gear. Maybe 3rd.
