A New Lancia Stratos Shall be Produced

Nearly a decade ago, a German entrepreneur called up Pininfarina and wanted them to build a new, modernized version of the Lancia Stratos for production. Unfortunately, their plan was foiled by Ferrari, who weren't comfortable with the company using F430 underpinnings for the car.
quote:
The new Stratos will still use F430 underpinnings, which Ferrari is presumably okay with since the car is now about 15 years old, and will have 550 horsepower while still retaining the original Stratos's tiny body and nearly square wheel configuration. All this will make it a sort of superpowered Alfa Romeo 4C, which sounds pretty terrific. In addition to the regular street version, customers will have the choice of a GT race trim or Safari rally trim. Nice.
If you want one, you'd better get on the phone now, since only 25 will be made. But to be honest, I wouldn't put money on there being any left.
The original.

Back window not big enough for Yeti and Salt Life stickers. Hard pass.

It sucks that rally isn’t a big deal in the states. The group B cars were monsters and responsible for a lot of the tech in current cars.
That red car sold on BaT for $475k in December.

They didn't say whether it would be 2wd or 4wd, though I'd imagine it's the latter if they want to race it. 4wd flies in the face of the original, though.
It looks pretty ordinary, though with that power to weight, it will be a little monster. Of the 25, I'll bet there will be a rally team and we'll see the cool decked-out version.

Wasn't that a shite street car? Good for rallys but not much else?

Only way one of those will see anything like ralley conditions will be the ones snapped up by a Saudi oil money brat who will plate in gold then hoon it out in the dessert until it runs out of gas then left to rot.
