The \u003cem\u003eLancia Stratos HF Zero\u003c\/em\u003e remains one of the greatest concept cars, with design ramifications so vast that it deserves a book of its own. Not only did it influence almost every Lamborghini since the Countach LP500 and give birth indirectly to the greatest rally weapon, the similarly named Lancia Stratos HF Rally, but its impact was far-reaching at every level of design—automotive or otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of LEDs, sequential indicators, and flat digital screens—commonplace today—was first suggested in this time machine. Even more astounding was the fact that the Stratos Zero was a drivable device, unlike many other flights of fancy from then, or, for that matter, today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo doubt the \u003cem\u003eStratos HF Zero\u003c\/em\u003e is as impractical and, in many ways, as meaningless as most automotive concepts. Yet, how many concept cars are there that look even more sensational today than they did half a century ago? Yes, a few may be named, but did they work? What lovechild, what bloodline did they leave behind? What ideas did they suggest that we could see today in everyday cars? Which other concept starred both in cinemas and art museums?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48242775556332,"sku":"9781956309201","price":285.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781956309201-lancia-stratos-zero-1.jpg?v=1787976172","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/lancia-stratos-zero-by-gautam-sen-9781956309201","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
