Massive respect to those who drove them in the rally. They were a handful! 8O
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

god damn that is an awesome looking car. I loved the old Stratos and I think they did an excellent job of modernising it while maintaining the Stratos-like appearance, much better than many modern interpretations of old cars.

I like it! I agree they maintained the classic retro look somehow.

Do want.
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.

Generally I like it...the front needs a redesign though- The squared off front and headlight angles make it look a bit like a sad downy 'tard

Nice butt, but the face / front needs a paper bag put over it.

Or what a storm trooper would drive.

I reckon the front of the Fenomenon Stratos concept on the Lancia Stratos concept would be the go.

Ferarri prevents the new Stratos from being built. Just when you thought you couldn't hate Ferarri any harder....
