I disagree. Too much money involved to do all of that on their own. Scuds are quit good why not take the top off and re-body it? Seems a simple solution.

It has been done in the past. The original Lancia Stratos Rally car used their own chassis with Ferrari motors. The Lancia Delta Integrale Rally car as well as this Giorgetto Guigaro Lancia Theme 8.32 sedan. They were all on their own chassis with sourced motors.

Dissapointed to say the least. That car would have sold like hotcakes.

sounded good too
Here's a video of Montezemolo test driving it

500k and people thought the LFA was overpriced.
I wouldnt pay a dollar over $70k for this car.

I'm not saying they aren't qualified. Not at all. I think they just were taking the major engineering out. Who knows.

I think they just didn't have the positive responses they wanted. Economy? Price? I know for 700k I'd have a ton of other things first tho I've always thought they were awesome.

For $700k your playing silly buggers, but for what, $400k ish and the official backing at Ferrari, I don't think you could make enough.

I agree
Porsche lost tons of customers on the 918 when their price was published

In my opinion i believe that it's a shame to destroy a car like 430 Scuderia to make another (in that case Stratos). If you want to make something like this just take a simple F430 or 360 and transform it into a Stratos. By destroying such a wonderful car like 430 Scuderia it's at least a stupidity..

^... I had to laugh a bit, just because of ur name, towards the topic, but I agree that they aimed about 500k higher than they would get.
