The legendary 1977 Lancia Stratos IMSA GT — known as “The Duck” — returns to the track after a complete, meticulous restoration. This one-of-a-kind racecar carries an incredible American motorsport history, having competed in iconic endurance events such as the Daytona 24 Hours, 12 Hours of Sebring, and 6 Hours of Watkins Glen. Now fully restored by Girardo & Co., the Stratos looks sharper than ever and remains powered by its screaming Ferrari V6 engine with individual throttle bodies, delivering an unmistakable soundtrack and raw racing character few cars can match.

Captured during the ASI in Pista 2025 event at Varano circuit, this video showcases the Stratos’ first outing post-restoration — a rare opportunity to see and hear a true motorsport artifact come back to life. From its aggressive IMSA bodywork to its razor-sharp throttle response, every detail reminds us why the Stratos remains one of the most iconic racing machines ever built. Strap in and enjoy the symphony of an Italian legend reborn. For more content like this one follow us also on Facebook, Pinterest or Instagram!
