Massive respect to those who drove them in the rally. They were a handful!
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.

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.

Nice!
Although I think I slightly prefer the Fenomenon Stratos concept which was availible in Colin McRae dirt:

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.
