Not sure if anyone else has seen this, but it's a very exciting project.

After much speculation in the Automotive Press, information on the new ‘Stratos’ has been officially released. An anonymous European business man is funding the project, where he aims to revive the legendary Stratos after 40 years.

The pictures are from the Fiat test track in Balocco. It shows a fabulous looking car that reproduces the sublime lines of the original Lancia, with a modern edge. It avoids being too retro, but retains the basic wedge shape and round tail lights. It also recognises the original cars power plant – the car from the 70’s had a Ferrari V6 Dino engine and this car uses a modern Ferrari V8. It was ex-F1 driver Tiago Montero that was driving the prototype for the test – and he claimed it was ‘sensational’ to drive...

 

Would love to see a vid....

 

Wicked awesome.

But unless it's going to carry a Lancia badge, I doubt he'll be able to use the name Stratos. Unless he's working for them?...

 

lights are f parts? what else is ferrari sourced?

 

I pray to God that the Fiat group finds a way to put this car into production. This is far too awesome to stop after making just one!

 

Please build this car. I commit to buying one the first day they are available.

 

Definitely exciting news, the new take on the classic shape is really cool!

 

im not feeling the look of this car...

 

I hope they keep it light and simple.

 

Were you a fan of the original? Because I think it's a fantastic job of crafting a modern shape built on the classic.
