In 1979 the Stuttgart-based company began producing a completely new range of models, off-road vehicles that were the result of a partnership between Daimler-Benz and the Austrian Stayer Puch. This, then, was the series “G”, cars capable of providing excellent off-road performance while retaining the cruising comfort for which Mercedes Benz is renowned. An immediate success, the series “G” was to pave the way for further success by Mercedes in this sector.The 230 G was originally equipped with a straight 4-cylinder 2308 cc 90 HP engine: more powerful engine versions would later be developed. One such model, specially adapted for the occasion, won the 1982 edition of the famous Paris-Dakar race, with J. Ickx and C. Brasseur trouncing a group of seasoned competitors after a long, hard-fought race. | |

The Lancia Stratos was undoubtedly the most important sports car of the 70s. The first version of this futuristic car - the result of the design genius of Nuccio Bertone - was presented in 1970 at the Car Show in Turin. Thanks to its streamlined body and powerful engine, the Stratos was immediately chosen as the successor to the famous Fulvia HF. Just two years later the definitive version appeared: this featured the engine of the Ferrari Dino 246 GT, a 250 HP 6-cylinder 2400 cc V that would give the car a top speed of 230 kph. In 1973 the Stratos made its racing debut, immediately winning the Firestone Rally and the Tour de France. The following years saw the success rate climb steeply, with Sandro Munari taking three consecutive world championship rally titles in’74, ’75 and ’76. These were the years that made the Stratos a legend – a legend that endures to the present day and that enthusiasts can re-live thanks to this perfect scale reproduction. | |
