Something about the design screams 80's to me. I voted not.

[Hodstcopter]

I'd rock that. Retro-to-a-fault ftw. Wish Chevy would do that with the '63 split-window Vette (with C6 engine and upgraded chassis)....

[SNUfR8uI]

I like this thing. It's a ****ing stunner for sure.

[cajonnmu]

Headlight treatment sucks monkey balls, but other than that, not too bad!
Prefer the original, though - with the suspension geometry sorted!

Closest most of us would get would be one of the better replicas with a V6 Alfa engine with cam's and hextuple throttle bodies - that would sound awesome!

[antipenq]

I like it too! Looks different, which I think many of you are afraid of

[Automobill]

No, it's just UGLY

[RerRibreLok]

I like the old one, not so much the new one. I bet it goes like hell though.

I'm afraid of anything that OHP has a liking for, gives me the shivers.

That car is beautiful. To everyone who voted no, I'm going to hunt you down and kill you.

[infinkPoode]

HOT.

Lancia Stratos looks amazing in 70's trim.. And updated retro car would be awesome. Though without AWD I don't see it being competitive as a rally car at all.

Still, beautiful.

[baskentt]

They both look sweet, the new and the old one.

[Mynameishappy]

I voted hot, but I think the original looks much better, it's not as much a tribute as the Ford GT was.

[flopay]

I loved the Stratos but i don´t think i really like the new one.

[baskentt]

Now that i think about it, there are two things that i dont like about it;

1. It sounds awful.

2. They should have made their own engine.

[Breilopmil]

Old Stratos was nice, but thats pretty nasty. The more I look, the worse it gets too.

[SinncmxM]

You know, mostly I like it. But what in the hell were they thinking with the roof spoiler/scoop thing? If it weren't for that it would be a truly majestic creature.

1. Yes, you're right - but on that karting track it was barely above idle and sounded horrible!

2. Uh, you do realise Lancia is owned by Ferrari - so they are using their 'own' engines? The original used a 12 valve V6 'FIAT' Dino engine for the road car and the 24 valve V6 Ferrari Dino engine version for the rally version - so that's another link to the original?

Lovely, lovely little car, had the misfortune of being released around the time turbo's, AWD and wide tyres were coming in - they didn't work well with the latter as the camber changes of the suspension reportedly made the car rather twitchy - but that could also have been the short wheelbase.
Still good enough for two or three World Rally Championships, though! [thumbup].
The original show car had a 3 seat arrangement, the same as the F1 was to have later, but was dropped for production.

There are quite a few videos on Youtube, but most seem to have horrible music and no screaming engines...

That i didnt know. But it still sounds awful for a Ferrari engine. Perhaps they should do what Lexus did with LF-A and create an exhaust system with its own unique (better) sound.

But if i had the money, i would drive that car on the street if they made a street version.

Its far better then what Russia made. Search Youtube for Marussia.

Check my edited links above - especially the last one with the speakers LOUD

I think you'll like!

There were at least two companies making replicas using the Lancia 4 and V6 engines - don't know if they're still around.
