About the Lancia Stratos HF #5 Chardonnet B. Darniche / A. Mahé Rally Tour de Corse 1976 Kyosho 1:18

TL;DR: Kyosho's Lancia Stratos HF #5 is a 1:18 diecast rally car in the Chardonnet livery of Bernard Darniche and Alain Mahé for the 1976 Tour de Corse. The body articulates, and the wedge profile and race graphics are the details to judge. A centerpiece for a 1970s rally collection.

Few rally cars are as instantly recognizable as the Stratos: a short, wide wedge that looks fast standing still. Kyosho's Lancia Stratos HF in 1:18 diecast carries the number 5 and the Chardonnet livery of Bernard Darniche and Alain Mahé, the crew named for the 1976 Tour de Corse.

Livery and Race Detail on the Kyosho Lancia Stratos HF 1:18

Reading a Rally Livery

A competition model lives or dies by its graphics. Check how crisply the number 5 is rendered, how sponsor lettering lines up across panels, and whether the edges of each color hold clean registration. Rally liveries wrap around curves, and the Stratos has plenty of them, so misalignment shows quickly. Compare the layout against period photographs of the car to confirm placement. The paint beneath should look even, with the livery appearing as part of the surface rather than an afterthought.

Diecast Build and Opening Panels

Zinc alloy gives the car the mass you expect from a 1:18 diecast, and the compact body concentrates it in a small footprint. The body articulates, so the opening panels offer an inspection angle that a sealed casting would not. Diecast tolerances are a touch wider than resin, but the material handles being taken off the shelf and put back, which matters for a model you will want to examine. Wide arches and short overhangs are the proportions to check first from above and from the side.

The Stratos and the Tour de Corse

A Car Built to Rally

The Stratos HF was designed specifically for rallying, which was unusual at the time. Bertone penned the wedge body, and a Ferrari Dino V6 sat behind the cockpit, in a car with a very short wheelbase that made it agile and demanding. Lancia won the International Championship for Manufacturers in 1974, 1975 and 1976, so a 1976 car sits at the end of that run. That context gives the number 5 car a place in the Stratos's most successful period.

Corsica's Twisting Roads

The Tour de Corse is known as the rally of ten thousand corners, a title that describes tarmac stages with endless bends. A short, nimble car suits that terrain, and the Stratos's turning ability was a clear advantage there. The model reproduces the car as named in this event, and a collector who pairs it with period photographs gets a clear view of how the car looked in competition. This is a privately entered Chardonnet car, which adds variety to a shelf of factory-team liveries.

Collecting the Rally Stratos

A rally Stratos looks best with room around it, since the wedge profile reads most clearly from the side and slightly above. It pairs naturally with the road-going Stratos for a pair that shows how the competition car relates to the street version. In the United States, rally collecting is a smaller niche than stock-car or muscle-car themes, and those who enter it tend to seek out subjects with a clear story. Keep it dust-free in a closed cabinet, and check the livery details from arm's length. Kyosho's diecast construction makes it a sound way to buy a classic rally car in 1:18.
