New Lancia Stratos revealed......hot sex inside - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

From AutoExpress UK

It's official, Lancia is working on a modern interpretation of the legendary Stratos - here are the pictures that prove it.

The Stratos has come into focus! Following last week’s grainy shots of Pininfarina's re-imagining of Lancia’s legendary 1970s supercar, more information and these pin-sharp pictures have emerged.

Taken at Fiat’s test track in Balocco, Italy, these photos show the Stratos piloted by ex-Formula 1 driver Tiago Monteiro during a series of benchmark tests. Insiders claim that thanks to its low kerbweight and short wheelbase, the newcomer excelled in every tested area.

Visually, the modern day Stratos is a dead-ringer for its 1970s sibling with a side-by-side shot of the two cars revealing the dimensions are almost identical. Modern updates include traditional headlights – rather than the flip-up units of the original – as well as a more aerodynamic front spoiler and a newly added rear diffuser.

The original car used a Ferrari engine, and that’s true of the newcomer too. It shares the same V8 engine and sequential gearbox as the Ferrari 430 Scuderia, and uses that car’s aluminium chassis too, albeit shortened to fit the Stratos’ small wheelbase. Also recognisable are the rear lights from a Ferrari 599 GTB.

Production was initially envisioned as just a one-off for a wealthy entrepeneur named Michael Stoscheck, but now with the involvement of Fiat's test-track and an ex-Formula 1 driver, the suggestion is that a limited production run could be on the cards giving Lancia a retro-inspired halo model, like the 8C Competizione did for Alfa Romeo.

Reports suggest that Stoscheck has given the all-clear to Pininfarina to build around 25 examples of the Stratos which, judging by the late stages of development could go on sale within the next couple of years.

JB'sLGT · 08-16-2010, 01:58 PM

very cool...hopefully it's more reliable than the original

RSX Type-Slow · 08-16-2010, 03:20 PM

Hells yea. Loved the original.

Protege v2.5 · 08-16-2010, 04:02 PM

Now Ford just needs to bring back the RS200

would rock

FocusDude · 08-16-2010, 06:42 PM

We'll never see it, which makes me cry a little.

R22B · 08-16-2010, 09:10 PM

Anyone that knows the history of the original car knows how awesome this truly is. At the time, the original was the first production car that was built FOR rally. From the ground up, every design choice was made to win not just rallies, but championships. And that it did it very well.

When I first heard this, I thought it was a cruel late April Fools joke. Over the past few days, it has been confirmed true. I know I'll never be able to afford one and you know what, I'm fine with that. As long as legends are recreated with the same passion as the originals - they can forever be out of my reach just as long as I know their memories live on.

And for those into automobile porn, take a look at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP3hdb_0mvM&feature=fvw. I don't know if its a replica. To be honest, I don't even car. The car is so beautiful that even my wife would get jealous if I dreamed of it.

God yes, that thing is pure sex. I honestly think they did the original version proud.

this looks like an 80s car?

Here's an 80s design:

Wedge-based; angular, hard lines

Just sick!

turboman808 · 08-17-2010, 01:08 PM

Miata was designed in the 80s. Fiat X 1/9 was designed in the 70s.

Honduh · 08-17-2010, 08:20 PM

Wow that is bad ass, I love how it looks.
