Not only did it influence almost every Lamborghini since the Countach LP500, and give birth indirectly to the greatest rally weapon, the similarly named Lancia Stratos HF Rally, but its impact was far and wide at every level of design, automotive or otherwise.

The use of LEDs, sequential indicators and flat digital screens - all commonplace today - were first suggested in this time machine. Even more astounding was the fact that the Stratos Zero was a drivable device unlike many other flights of fancy from then (or, for that matter, today).

No doubt the Stratos Zero is as impractical as most automotive concepts, but at the same time: how many concept cars are there that look even more sensational today than they did half a century ago?

Yes, a few may be named, but did they work? What lovechild, what bloodline did they leave behind? What ideas did they suggest that we could see today in everyday cars? Which other concept starred both in cinemas and art museums?

Lancia Stratos Zero: The Eternal Futurist features 336 pages and 463 images and illustrations. Text in English.
