One of the coolest cars that Lancia ever made was
the iconic Stratos. That car has been out of production for seemingly ever. A
company not related to Lancia is rebooting the Stratos and it looks very much
like that original car. The company making the Stratos is called Manifattura
Automobili Torino (MAT).
The design of the Stratos will be based on the 2010
Stratos concept car that was built on a Ferrari 430 aluminum spaceframe
chassis. That concept used a Ferrari engine too, but Ferrari killed the whole
thing. The new Stratos looks almost identical to that concept car but will use
an undisclosed engine making over 550 hp.
That is all we really know about the Stratos other
than it will weight in at 2,809 lbs. There is no word on pricing or availability for
now but expect few and a high price tag.
