WICKED STRATOS: Analog 450HP Lancia Stratos LB Specialist STR on Twisty Tarmac | EP46

A Lancia Stratos wedge on twisty North Carolina roads is as wild as it sounds. Nicole Johnson travels to North Carolina to drive John King’s 450 horsepower LB Specialist STR, finished in the iconic Chardonnet livery and built to capture the look, sound, and intensity of the original rally icon—the legendary 1974 Lancia Stratos. On tight NC back roads, this Lotus Evora-powered 3.5L modern Stratos delivers an analog, visceral, breath-stealing tarmac driving experience that proves why the legend still looms large. MORE ON JOHN KING: A North Carolina native, John King has a deep appreciation for unusual and distinctive cars that defy convention and invite genuine use. Unafraid to add miles, he regularly drives his cars on rallies, track days, and long road trips. His passion for the Lancia Stratos led him to found Montane Motors, the exclusive U.S. dealer for turnkey LB Specialist Cars STR builds.
