  • New Lancia Stratos?



    The original Stratos was a Ferrari-powered rally demon. There's video of it being tested, but since I no pa Italiano, I have no idea what they are saying.

    I loved those back in the 70's. If they don't put that into production they're crazy.
    Just groovin' to my own tune.

      Looks like another fine pasta rocket.

      Although, it is screaming to me as a new age Pontiac Fiero.

            it is ashame when cars meant to be expendible, race oriented cheap breakable fixable...
            turn it into limited production or extinct them...then call it a legend.

            ???

            A new, modern Stratos is being designed for 2011, in tandem with the 40th anniversary of the original model. The car will use the 4.3L V8 engine currently used in the Ferrari F430 Scuderia. The car's body panels are speculated to be carbon fibre. It is further speculated that this car will enjoy a limited-production run.[7]
            now its getting the million dollar engine for the plastic chassis.

            go hunt down a beetle... you can acheive the same thing for alot less...and if to whip it out and brag "magical legend" powers.. a porsche 953 had no coolant problems and a perfect ballast awd from the same era (within years of each other). both disappeared like a b-rally car.

              The Stratos (both old and new) carries more than that. That shape...that body shape alone is the reason for the car.

              Rally winnings? Cool, nice to see it's a performer. Let's remember that the original was beaten like a red-headed stepchild by Euro rally enthusiasts. If that ain't a testament to how strong it is...

              Ferrari motor? Hey, if you aren't gonna do it yourself let one of the best do it for you.

              But that shape is just damn sexy in my opinion, and the concept is a damn fine throwback design. It would also be a nice change from...
