Ya know seeing a real picture of this car, makes it seem horrifying. . . Not in a bad way. Just. . . So much power compressed into such a small size. . . I'd be afraid to drive it.
I was watching an old episode of Top Gear the other night. long story short, they had to choose the best car maker ever, Hammond and Clarkson chose Lancia. They drove an old Lancia Stratos, and it just looked so beautiful. Old but not outdated, and what a sound!I want that Car! but for now I have to settle for the virtual version :-)
They are actually building a new Lancia Stratos. It is going to be another insane car and is completely beautiful.

As far as I know Fiat Automobiles/Lancia have no plan for a new Stratos.
I don't think that one is an "official" new Stratos.
It's a simple story: man loves car, man is billionaire, man spends piles of money recreating modern version of car. It's noble. The new Lancia Stratos is a weapon of war mixed with a labor of love... a weapon of love? It's the creation of billionaire car nut and CEO of supplier Brose KG, Michael Stoschek, a long-time Stratos and rally car fanatic. Its creation is a long time coming. Long like 24 years long, like 1986, when Stoschek met Chris Hrabalek in Alta Badia, Italy at a the World Stratos Meet.
Stoschek and Hrabalek met with the designers at Pininfarina to hammer out a car in early 2008. The design started under the hand of rising design star Jason Castriota and eventually moved to the designers at Bertone, which was the studio behind the original Stratos. It's based around the Ferrari F430 chassis and its 4.3-liter V8 engine with an all carbon fiber body, carbon ceramic brakes, a tiny wheelbase like the original, and a weight-to-power ratio of just 5.5 lbs per horsepower.
Nope it was custom build for a german business man if I remember right. Feel free to correct me if I'm not right![]()
I really hope it will be premium.
I am quite interested in driving the Zonda R.
Granted, its a hyper-car and will probably be insanely difficult to control, I still can't wait to unleash that monster.
I'd also like to drive an Ariel Atom, if it will be included.
