i beleive the lancia stratos prototype used a ferrari 12 banger...
and production used a ferrari 8 banger? or some combination of the two engines.
not sure what the one sold to the public got... something made by lancia though
lancia and ferrari are both owned by fiat... so lancia got free range of ferrari engines.
the stratos was designed by the italian firm who designed 90% of the famous lambo's. (forget their name...
bertucci or something italian like that)
well you can sure tell im a rally fan...
id love to own a lancia hf integrale... my favourite non audi :)
if only we could get parts in canada id consider it in a few years...
time to try to move to germany...
