New Lancia Stratos Cancelled

The plans to produce a limited production run of the new Lancia Stratos have been officially put to bed. The New Stratos was created by German businessman Michael Stoschek and designed by Pininfarina as a tribute to the legendary rally car of the seventies. It used the Ferrari 430 Scuderia as it’s base, as Jalopnik reports, Ferrari CEO Dr. Amedeo Felisa offered his support for the one-off project but not for the production run. The Stratos package measures 4.1 meters in length, features a shortened Ferrari 430 Scuderia chassis and weighs in at just 1,247kg with the weight distributed 44% in the front and 56% at the rear. The power-to-weight ratio of the Stratos is 2.3kg/hp. The sports car uses the Scuderia’s 4.3 liter V8 engine, which churns out 540hp and over 500Nm of torque. The sprint to 100km/h is done in just 3.3 seconds and 200km/h in an impressive 9.7 seconds.
