You can bet TopGear will get it’s hands on this thing if they can:

I hope this is as dependable as the old version. Lol
barf. looks like someone shrunkin smooshed lambo or somethin. lol
Looks like an MR2 IMO. It definitely reminds me of something from the '80s, but maybe that’s why I kinda like it
like it
One-off car for some rich dude. Looks hot.
Read my link again
Didn’t see the update. Bad-ass.
The Lancia Stratos we saw last week is real and it’s not just intended for one wealthy industrialist’s garage, it’s headed for limited production. According to Car und Driver, the new Stratos is aiming to set everyone’s pants on fire.
Remember Jason Castriota? The guy behind the Stile Bertone Mantide? He’s reportedly the brains behind this latest off-the-deep-end design exercise, but where the Mantide was polarization incarnate the new Stratos is just plain awesome. What we’ve been seeing kicking around isn’t just some bonus for a Goldman Sachs golden boy, instead it’s a production-intent sports car we’ll endlessly lust over. Apparently, Pininfarina is heading up the effort to rebirth one of the most legendary rally cars ever. We couldn’t be happier.
lol what. someone shrunkin smooshed lambo, ya def
Yeah, it’s headed for limited production. It’s a shortened F430, supposedly complete with a Ferrari V8.
I love it.
That’s fugly.
the ferrari V8 makes it a DO WANT
Just so were all on the same page…the original:
Fugly as fawk.
The kit version is fairly cheap too, I keep resisting the urge to build one as a winter car with a VQ35.
:tup: i fucking love them!!!
Really cool cars, for sure.
That’s probably the only way I’ll get anyway near owning a stratos.

Oh, and this:

You can see the engine in the shot where the rear hatch is open. I’m 95% sure that intake manifold design can only be the F430 engine, here it looks like a black carbon manifold which was found on the F430 Scuderia. So possibly a Scud engine or maybe just a 430 engine with different color parts.
Either way that is definitely a f430 engine in there.
