The Uncompromising Legendary Lancia Stratos
Vložit

- It is hard to argue with the pedigree of the Lancia Stratos. Built with one uncompromising vision, the Stratos was produced to win WRC titles, and win it did. The agile, Dino V6-powered chassis went on to win three consecutive titles and in so doing captured the hearts of many enthusiasts. Phillip Toledano was one of those enthusiasts and for him, purchasing a car built with one purpose was a dream come true. As an artist, Phil has always been attracted to the Bertone wedge design and gives us a glimpse of what it is like to live with the fabled Stratos.

No this car is definitely beautiful, a timeless and often under-appreciated classic.
Petrolicious is the greatest car program ever made. Seriously!
+Chris Clausen every episode I watch I fall in love with a new car
I absolutely agree!

U shod try Dieseliscous! - Its full with trucks! 😄
I first saw one at the Circuit of Ireland Rally in the 70s. It was black, and came at high speed over a hill. It was a vision that I've never forgotten.
He's so genuinely enthusiastic about the car. I love it
This car is the definition of insanity (and oversteer). It's a car that shouldn't physically work as well as it did, but through the hands of even more insane fellas it destroyed everything else in its path and became a legend. Amazing.
In the right hands,is the key some drivers adjusted to it's quirks well while others called it dangerous and unsuitable.
What comes to my mind are two things. The first, is if you grew up with old style beach cruiser bikes, before they were called beach cruisers, and turned the handlebars and front wheel 180 degrees and road it that way, the curved forks were backwards and the bars so wanted to flip around to normal position, you had to hold them tight...but the inherent urge to turn made the ability to turn lightning fast. Kind of like the second thought, flying wing aircraft that are inherently unstable, stabilized by computer, but ready to make lighting fast moves if called upon, aided by lightning fast computer control!
it's like modern fighters, they are designed aerodinamically unstable to be more reactive in close combat. Except fighters are computer guided, while in this car there is no other help than your skill.
The best car ever. Its beautiful and it's a winner.
"A symphony of vaguely disastrous noises" can be said about most italian cars.
And motorcycles. Multiple people asked if my Ducati's okay when they hear the rattling clutch sound. And a lot of the time, the bikes not okay, but not because of the rattle.
Yessssss...but we are the best also for this
Ever tried a real Lancia?
Mmmm, have you ever heard of Ferrari or Lamborghini ? I dont think they have more noise than a maclaren, porsche or jaguar ....
That's the issue with vintage Italian. The price of a purely visceral experience is vaugly disastrous noises...unfortunately, another price is the lack of reliability due to the fact the cars were designed and built by Italians as temperamental as the cars
can someone cut off my internet? i have stuff to do today
This is so me right now!
Same, I discovered this channel a few days ago and trying to watch every video.
Tai Lopez I've seem most of em
is the citroen ds video working for ya? it doesnt for me but the others do? i do not understand
The Lancia "Stratos" = The Legend 🇮🇹 😍😘
I am not sure he knows how blessed this he is to be able to own such a legendary car.... man... I'd probbably have started crying a bit just getting the chance to have a good look at one in real life. This is one of my top 3 hero-cars, my eyes get watery by even seeing one in a videogame. Just thinking about being able to sit in one, let alone drive one is unimaginable for me....
" symphony of vaguely disastrous noises" excellent - know just what you mean - I had a fulvia and a delta integrale - trust me - the harder you drive it the better it will get - so go for it!
you lucky lucky man that's so awesome.
I like Phillip, the owner ... love his passion for this specific car & how he describes what it feels like to drive it. Doesn't have to be a accomplished racer or involved with the initial car design to make an interesting and delightful video. The fact he mentions being terror-stricken while driving it is an honest statement = nothing wrong with that at all.
I could have bought one of these when i was in my 20's - i did not - i weep like a bay before i sleep every night.
what is this stunning garage? theres an M1 and a Renault Alpine in the background, i want this guy's life.
Plus he's very British and maybe gay. Inherited small fortune?
emjayay Or well paid job, like a lawyer, stockbroker or whatever.
I like the Stratos, but I'd take the M1!
What an amazing car, it just looks so awesome. I would have it white with the Alitalia livery on it, with rally exteriors, and yellow alloys. That would be a blast!
A fantastic car! Lancia built cars with caracter and charisma! The exact opposite of what we now see on the roads!
And lancia now is as good as dead... Unless you count the ypsilon as a car... And I don't.
That's because most of us like to get to our destination alive,a Honda civic cr,will run circles around it and feel safe at highway speeds
Great to see an owner that totally gets the Stratos! I am very happy for him.
This guy talking kinda sounds like the baby from the family guy
+TRUNYA1 HAHAHA, exactly what I thought! From the first syllabe I thought, that's Stewie. I had to check the comments immediately. Turns out, I'm not alone :-)
+M3Nenough I was waiting for Brian to come there and interrupt him the story xD
TRUNYA1 He is English, speaking English with an English accent. Anything else is strange
Cant have pie without Cool wHip....
TRUNYA1 that baby has a name sir... it’s stewie.. stewie griffin
"a symphony of vaguely disastrous noises" love it :D
Only people with taste appreciates a Lancia Stratos
Joe Bloggs I am one of those people. I love this car. I’d love to own one sometime in the future.
I think that applies to all Lancia cars
Such an amazing car.. .. just gorgeous
A Stratos, a Renault Alpine A110 AND an M1. This guy is killing me.
HE SOUNDS LIKE STEWIE!!!
FROM FAMILY GUY
I LOVE THIS GUY ALREADY
3:30 What a collection he has!
Not only the Strato's, but also an Alpine A110 and an M1. Well done, Sir!
beauty is in the eye of the beholder......
Loved the humour.
The Lancia Stratos is one the coolest-looking cars I've ever seen! Thanks for showing!
This may be my favorite video so far. Well done. Excellent car with so much character!
The most articulate and incredible description - best owner you have ever featured!
OMG the ALPINA in the garage 3:33
How could you not LOVE the sound of that Ferrari V-6??
alhalhalal1 That's a V6? Damn!
one of the most beautiful cars ever
The Startos wasn't designed. It escaped.
Brilliant video
My first dream car. Thank you guys, you keep nailng it to perfection.
I see a Alpine A110 in the back ground could you please make a vid of that one of my childhood dream car as well
Thank you for this video - I once owned a Lancia Beta Scorpion- nice to meet the STRATOS.
I have never seen a guy so excited in any petroliciousco video like MrToledano, of course if I could own an Stratos I will be felling that way too.
Thx PetroliciousCo for all these amazing videos.
True enthusiasts interviewing true enthusiasts for true enthusiasts followers.
This is my favourite car. Period
Love your work guys. Keep the great content coming!
I will seriously watch anything you guys make. Seriously the best on youtube!
Absolutely beautiful video. Amazing.
I love this channel I cannot say it enough thank you
My all time dream car!!!!!!
Not only the first American channel about cars I like ... but overall one of the best on YT. Congratulations.
By a snobish European :)
beautiful car to look at, even more amazing soundtrack
Awesome video. Learnt something new today
These have realy grown on me over the years. Lovely car. And another great video.
Gorgeous. Especially in that color
Awesome channel! Thank you)
Absolutely love this video, I don't own a Stratos but I have the feeling I could love it in the same way this guy love his car, I can relate to him as he speaks on the video
Apparantly there’s a company in the UK that makes a parts kit replica for £30,000. Not sure what engine it uses though. I know some replicas have part-for-part replicas of the original Ferrari Dino and some ones use different, more reliable and affordable engines.
" it's like it's from another planet" 😊 what a great dude and awesomely unique racer/car
If I saw him in his car in the street, I'd fucking run after it till the end for the earth just to keep hearing that noise from the 2.4 six.
he should talk about that red BMW M1 in the background 2:02
Amazing taste in cars sir! Great video as well. Keep up the good work!
Love the vids!
Simply the best!
so cool!!! I'm ready to devour the next video !!!
alpine a110 and a bmw m1 and a stratos, what a collection :)
"Weapons grade"...! Hysterical....
His collection is one of the most tastefull thing I've ever witnessed. Cars that are absoltuley amazing to drive, legendary in their own way and smewhat unknown by most people.
Your finest feature to date i think. What a legend! Oh and what a collection this guy has! Alpine A 110, M1 and ...there was something else too. Damn damn damn ...
And to the guy giving this a thumbs down - miss clicking this video thinking it's Jersey Shore isn't a good enough excuse. Please repent by watching all of this incredible channel's videos and give them all a thumbs up.
im so jealous its ridiculous... i was looking at the Hawk replica's and after this vid i really want to get one...
and ur in NY, i have to see this car in person at some point!
why impossible? i love group b rally
"most people don't know what it is"
That hurts
Gotta pay the bills. Hopefully this just means even more wonderful content!
Big love for the stratos, great tools
I wish these videos where longer!!!
Ditto. Very talented fellow and total gear head!
Best, I mean, very best channel on CZcams. Made by passionates with passionates for passionates!
una leggenda incompresa. Da salvaguardare la sua storia.
A110 in the background!
If there is a Stratos in Germany I really want to know... I love that thing. ❤️
Thx PetroliciousCo
Definitely one of the more interesting owners on Petrolicious, (some really boring personalities on certain videos) & omg, his Stratos, & M1!
...and the Alpine.
this guys garage is classic some off the sickest cars are in there

This car is superb...SUPERB

”A symphony of vaguely disastrous noises”.
Poetry, just....poetry!
Awesome machine!!!!
My #1 favorite car.
Didnt know theres a stratos here in the US....its a pretty kool and rare piece. Good to see an authentic one on the road.
Very tasteful channel
There it is. My favorite car in the whole world.
The Lancia Stratos is one of the sexiest cars ever made. I used to dream of this car as a teen. This car was designed by my favorite designer Marcello Ghandini, when he was at my favorite design house Bertone. These wheels were the narrow ones used on the winter rally stages. The five star wheels were the wide ones used on the dry dirt and paved rally stages. That Ferrari Dino V6 sounds absolutely glorious. There is a UK company making kit versions with Alfa Romeo V6's in them. Top Gear's Clarkson and Hammond reviewed a red one and in another episode the kit car. Thanks.
Would love to get my hands on the Alfa V6 kit version..are they still being made?
Your channel is effing awesome, i've watched many of your vids but never subscribed, the Lancia Stratos changed that :P
«Austrian von Karajan, one of the all-time greatest heads of orchestra, and his penchant for Ferraris, especially the sound of their V12 engines, which he considered superior to anything he could make a symphonic orchestra deliver. “There’s no orchestra conductor in the world who would be able to replicate the melody of Ferrari 12-cylinders,” he said.»
Seductively sleek!
I never knew all of that about the windows and doors, that's very interesting
Nice guy, wonderfull car :D.
This is the most beautiful car in the world! ❤️
One of my favorite cars ever...
Yup, I wanna see five minutes on all the other bucket-list cars he has that we can see in his garage.
Livin' the dream Buddy.
Most beutiful vids what i ever seen!
BEST REPLY EVER.
It was love at first sight when we met in 1975. Years later, what has changed? Well, sometimes I look at it and it's beautiful. Sometimes I look at it and it's ugly. And everything I look at it I want it.
I've only ever seen 2 of these cars in real life before. One at a car show and one just recently on the road and both times I nearly jumped up and down with excitement. I'm 33, but just seeing that car makes me feel like a kid again.
Diseño único, belleza extraordinaria.
what a brilliant vid & the guy has a mix or dublin/irish & english accent.. M1 , Alpine A 111 & a Stratos,
the man has taste & he talks so much sense
Really great, do a vid on that alpine next.
