New pics of the new Lancia Stratos from the Balocco-track

Nice! It's kind of got that modern day X1/9 look.

The stratos has got to be one of my all time favorite cars. Such a cool and amazing car in every aspect. But sadly this is a one off being funded by a private investor.

Here is some better pics of the same car

What purpose does that lip on the rear part of the roof serve?

That's awesome, I've always loved the Stratos!

I thought the original was a bit radical, but this toned down version is very pleasing. The door windows really make it look mean, and those are some huge brake rotors. The front/nose is a bit Honda S2000'ish.

"What purpose does that lip on the rear part of the roof serve?" The engine is in the back, so that lip catches air and directs it into the intake.....is my guess.

Its like most manufactures build an 80 percent cool car and then the last 20 percent they get bored and want to just get it done with. Then you have an almost cool car. The Callenger/Chrysler 300 Looks good from the side but from behind, the wheels are skinny and tall, the side panels should curve into the rockers more like the old days. What if they brought the fiat back, you know for sure they are going to make the side panels straight as in very little curve from the top of the door to the bottom. Did the same on the mustang. I bet with a little more effort, ford could have come up with a better mustang tail light and rear bumper to match the badassed front end. I just don't get why they all stop at only 80% cool. I can't be the only one that thinks this way. can I ? Heck just buy a shoe box with rounded edges. Oh wait. we already have the hummer series. LOL
