1976 Lancia Scorpion Rally Car
Believe it or not this was my first car ever (non-rally version) 5sp 2 seater, Mid engine with a soft top. I could take corners at high speed and the car handled beautifully. Hope you like. Tell me about your other cars you owned.:D :D :D
|
damn that car is badass. those arent available in the US are they?
|
I wish I can get an other one
No they dont make them any more. One can only get a used one if you can find it. Parts are hell to find.
|
Never heard of the Scorpion. Was it intended to be the successor to the Stratos?

Very nice, I take it you didn't live in the states when you owned it.

scorpion 76
I owned the car about 21 years ago. I not that old am I Ha Ha Purchased in New York City. The roads and the weather destroys cars. But I manage to had a small accident with it and it was down hill from there. My other car that I owned is a 1984 Porsche 928s, That car rocked!!!

i love the 928. You can pick up a decent one used for around 10K these days. Parts and maintenance are a bitch though.

The Lancia is cool. I've always loved Lancia rally cars:
Especially the 037 with Markku Alen driving... http://www.lanciarally037.com/grB-84-alen.jpg http://www.carsfromitaly.com/lancia/...allycars_0.jpg The Stratos was probably my all-time favorite car as a kid: http://www.carsfromitaly.com/lancia/stratosz1_200.jpg And the Delta just performed like a bad-@ss: http://www.stormloader.com/groupb/photos/S4.jpg But according to my memory, this is a Scorpion: http://www.lanciamontecarlo.net/imag...rpion_logo.jpg What your red car looks like to me is the 037 (my all-time fav) which was made from 82-85, not 76. Not that it matters... it's still cool either way! I've never owned a Lancia :( :) |

hehe... I just noticed in the pic of the Delta from my post... check out the spectators stupid enough to stand on the outside of the bend just after the car has passed them.
:D |

How can we have a Lancia rally cars discussion without a mention of the Fulvia?

Stratos! Woohoo!
I worship that car! :) Even though all my friends/family proclaim it as the ugliest car that have clapped eyes on. Someday I plan on building a replica of the Stratos with either an Alfa V6 or Nissan V6. Although I must admit that the purchase of the RX8 has made me wonder about slinging in a rotary back there ;) |
that car looks like it could be a transformer.
