Lancia Stratos Reborn As Limited Supercar With Over 550 HP

Three versions will be made: a GT racer, a Safari version and "a competent supercar for the daily use." Chances are the Safari version will be a homage to the Lancia Stratos rally car. Technical specifications are scarce, but the engine is said to deliver over 550 horsepower and feature "specially tuned suspension" to enable the reborn Stratos to "deliver an experience that no other supercar can assure on tight and twisty roads." The exterior design heavily draws inspiration from the original Stratos produced between 1973 and 1978. Inside, the interior also retains the characteristics of the original car, such as integrated support for the helmets in the doors.

"I am delighted that other passionate car enthusiasts can experience how the successor of the most fascinating rally car from the seventies still sets the bar for design and performance today," Michael Stoschek commented. "For MAT this agreement is a further step in our growth and allows our path to becoming a true manufacturer. A small production run is a new challenge for us," Manifattura Automobili's Paolo Garella added. "To have the opportunity to build the New Stratos is a great honor and a recognition of the capabilities that MAT has acquired over the last few years."

"From its foundation in 2014, MAT has been involved in 4 different projects for the design and development of supercars. Now with the New Stratos we will deliver an extremely refined supercar that can be used every day but also deliver excitement and exhilarating fun on twisty roads." Expect to see all three variants of the New Stratos in all their glory next month at Geneva where pricing details will be revealed.
