Default New Lancia Stratos driven by Ferrari president

Just thought it was a cool video to post.

This guy has the best job in the planet.

On the exhaust sound - doesn't almost sound like a GT3RS with a center muffler delete on sport mode? :-)

I hate when companies revive iconic cars that their production and evolution stopped long time ago, but for this one I would shut up, make an exemption and just buy it.

It ticks all the boxes of size - weight – shape - power and has class too.

Too bad that the reason I like it is because it's not meant for mass production hence the qualities mentioned above.

So +1 on Luca for the best job; but +1000 for Mr. Stoschek for using his vast bank account to fund this project.
Long live the rich.

Thanks for posting!

This thing for real? A one off?
I know there is no place for my helmet in the RS...
Best retro design I've ever seen. Fantastic, I'd love to see it in white..

Its a one off.

I agree, best retro design of all time.

There was a thread on it earlier, not sure if it was in this forum or the racing forum.

Is that an in- door helmut holder or a BIG GULP cup holder?

I've always liked the look of the stratos. I understand though that it didn't really handle very well. Now if it went into mass production with new technologies....

This new one-off Stratos was built out of a Ferrari 430 Scuderia, it is a lightened and smaller Scuderia, it should be a blast, and it is beautiful.

The original Stratos has been in my wish list since I was a kid.

The one-off Ferrari P4/5 was built on an Enzo, and was the builder's idea of what the 330/P4 would look like today. He's got a real 330/P4, as well, the dog....

911SLOW, how much do you reckon these would sell for?

Btw, A black Armani suit/black tie with the black stratos just looks sharp. These Italians have style I must admit.

I don't think there are any plans for production.

Yes they do have style!
Price? if they actually make it? 200 cars half a million each? Maybe. But I don't think they ll make it.

Although I am sure that they can revive the Integrale based on a Fiat Bravo. : )

Anyway lets stick to the old one for now that can actually be bought.
