- The Lancia Stratos produced in 492 units and highly sought after by sports car collectors from all over the world, is a sports car produced by the Italian car manufacturer Lancia from 1973 to 1975. It was designed by Marcello Gandini for Bertone and equipped with engine and gearbox V6 Ferrari Dino expressly to stand out in rallies. From the second half of the 1970s, the version prepared by the Lancia HF racing team, the Stratos HF, achieved a long series of successes that made it enter the history of the discipline. It used a 4.3-litre V8 engine capable of delivering up to 540 horsepower, power that allows the Stratos to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 273 km/h.
- The A6 GCS is a two-seater racing car built by Maserati from 1947 to 1953.
15 examples were produced, of which two were exported to Brazil and one to the United States of America.
The acronym stood for “Alfieri” (Alfieri Maserati), “6 cylinders”, “cast iron” (the material of the base), “racing” and “sport”. Between 1947 and 1948 two models were driven by Alberto Ascari and Luigi Villoresi; the latter prevailed in these two seasons in the Italian championship. The removal of the co-driver's seat and the machinery used for road racing allowed the model to enter the Formula 2 championship as a single-seater. It was the last car designed by the Maserati brothers, namely Ernesto, Ettore and Bindo Maserati, before they left the family business. The project was assisted by Alberto Massimino, then technical director of the company.
The engine displacement was 1978.7 cm³ and it delivered a power of 130 HP at 6000 rpm. The bore and stroke of the cylinders were 72 and 81 mm respectively. The compression ratio was 11:1. It had six cylinders in line and the maximum speed was between 190 and 205 km/h.
