Stunningly beautiful and astonishingly violent, the Lampadati Tropos may have a European name, but it's got an American heart. This is the car that defined a whole generation of rally design, so if your favorite pastime is calling other people's choices derivative then this is by far and away your best bet.Southern San Andreas Super Autos description.
The Lampadati Tropos Rallye is a two-door rally car featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Cunning Stunts update.
Influence
The Tropos Rallye is primarily based on the Lancia Stratos HF, exhibiting significant design elements reminiscent of 1980s Ferraris. The front end draws inspiration from the Ferrari 408 4RM, with the pop-up headlights, vents behind them, and black plastic bar with indicators likely sourced from either the Ferrari 288 GTO or the Ferrari 308 GTB/GTS. Additionally, the elongated C-pillar, the placement of the rear plate, and the vents located beneath the louvers appear to be influenced by these Ferraris, particularly the 288 model. The rear lights are similarly positioned and feature a cutout in the spoiler akin to that of the Stratos, albeit in a twin configuration, and they draw layout inspiration from either the previously mentioned Ferraris or the Chevrolet Corvette (C3). The rear bumper and the exhausts are similar to the Lamborghini Countach.
Liveries
- The color scheme of the "Air Herler" livery draws inspiration from the Rothmans Lancia Stratos, incorporating design elements influenced by the Alitalia livery on the roof and bonnet, as well as the Martini livery on the sides, albeit with more angular design. It also somewhat resembles the VK Stratos livery.
- Conversely, the "Stronzo" livery serves as a reversal of the "Air Herler" livery, featuring a color scheme that mirrors the Alitalia livery while integrating aspects from both the Martini and the 1979 Rothmans livery.
Design
Tropos Rallye was the first vehicle to feature pop-up headlights in GTA Online. It was also the first vehicle to feature pop-up headlights since the Hakumai in Grand Theft Auto IV. The front arches of the car feature small ducts directly above the pop-up headlights for extra decoration. Under the front bumper and light unit is a spoiler with additional intakes, the central one being wider and larger than the ones beside it. The front clam of the vehicle opens to reveal a spare wheel tied with green straps, in a similar manner to the Trophy Truck.
The cabin area makes use or a curved windscreen with a single wiper on the centre, while the trims and the A-pillars are finished in black. A set of mirrors can be seen near the A-pillars, as well as black door handles.
On the rear area, the car features a roof-mounted lip spoiler and a set of rear louvers in place of a rear window, covering what looks like two vented panels for the engine bay. The rear end features a ducktail spoiler and a set of circular tail lamps, composed of outer red lamps and smaller turn/reverse lamps within these. The rear arches are wider in appearance and have a set of plastic mudguards, while twin exit, twin exhausts are found coming out of the rear body. Exhaust silencers can be seen underneath the vehicle, behind the rear wheels. The rear clam of the vehicle also opens, to reveal the vehicle's V6 engine and an inner wall/window behind the cabin area.
The underside area of the car uses a set of single wishbone suspension with protective layers for the front axle, and a multi-link suspension system for the rear axle, with each of the rear axle shafts having parallel trailing arms, similar to the Omnis.
The interior of the car makes use of steel foot rests, red race seats and carbon-fibre door panels with exposed door frames and pull straps. The Tropos Rallye includes various switches and buttons on the dashboard, and features a knob reading F/R, likely indicating a rear/four wheel drive locking differential. An RPM indicator can be seen over the steering column, and a large extended gear-shifter is centralized on the console between the seats. Also, a radio is seen located under the dashboard, on the passenger side.
The primary colour of the car is applied on the bodywork and the interior stitching, while the secondary colour is applied to the roof, pillars mirror shells and the exposed door frames. The wheels have a unique rim design, consisting of star-shaped rims with thinner spokes and small borders on them, while having a pentagonal centre. The tyres have a detailed treaded pattern shared with the Omnis. The rear wheels are also wider than the front ones and the rims have a dedicated "Wheel" colour.
Both liveries have the same sponsors, although the Stronzo livery adds the corresponding sponsor on it:
- Lampadati
- Power Metal
- Stronzo (Stronzo livery only)
- Whiz
- Xero
Performance
The vehicle has good performance for its design, although most other vehicles in its class are still superior to it. Its off-roading capabilities are impressive thanks to the mid-rear engine layout, which gives it less body weight and better power to weight ratio. The vehicle also sports a compact design giving it minimal weight.
The Tropos has a relatively small steering radius when compared to other similar cars, meaning it has a tendency to understeer at speed. The high revving engine gives a large amount of power and extra fuel causes large backfires during shifting and deceleration.
Among the rally cars featured in the game, the Tropos Rallye is one of the best balanced when taken away from tarmac. The relatively light weight, combined with its low centre of mass and short wheelbase, give it very good cornering ability and stability on loose gravel and dirt surfaces.
The Tropos is one of the first vehicles in the game to sport a modeled V6 engine, which is carburettored/throttle bodied, and laid transversely. Said engine is coupled to a 6-speed gearbox in a rear-mid engine, rear wheel drive layout. The engine sound is low-revving and louder, appearing to be a lower-pitched, edited variation of the one used on the Cheetah.

Beta Content
- With the Bottom Dollar Bounties update, this vehicle was going to receive additional livery options, but they were not properly implemented and are currently unavailable in-game.[ref?]
- This was fixed with the Agents of Sabotage update.
Trivia
- The name of the Tropos is a play on words on the Stratos, as the troposphere is the lowest layer on Earth's atmosphere, while the stratosphere is the second lowest.
- This is also true from its Grand Theft Auto 2 equivalent, the Meteor, which is also based on the Stratos.
- This vehicle’s stock rims can be found under the Track wheel ‘Tropos’.
