Lancia Stratos Zero

So, I typically like most of the 60's and 70's type super cars and the like...Recently found this one somewhere and thought it looked pretty interesting...Don't really care for the car, but it seems to be pretty futuristic for a car that was designed back in 1970...

Apparently, it originally debuted at The Turin Motor Show in October of 1970...Pretty crazy in that the total distance from the top of the roof to the ground is only 33 inches, so this car obviously sits low...As a result of this "normal" style doors were not used...Instead, drivers had to flip up the windshield and basically walk inside the car! haha...And talk about a car with blind spots; no side or rear glass!

The car itself was powered by a mid mounted 1.6 L 4 cylinder motor that was adapted from the Fulvia HF...

Anyway, check it out:
