burningman

Man that concept car looks alot like it from that angle...same rims and everything

Lalo

It sure does Doug. I hope it is!
I went on the Lancia website and didnt see any news on it

How about this one?

Lalo

Doug- I saw the pic you posted on Top Gear, but I see absolutely no news on it
Maybe they'll have something on it very very soon, hopefully

Edit: I also noticed that the pic has the date of April 1st, and none of the news stories are dated April 1st, so maybe we'll see something tomorrow

Yes it is based on the Stratos, done by a design house out of England. It is supposed to be built in small numbers.

Thanks for the find Mark

So Lancia doesnt own the rights to the name Stratos anymore, Fenomenon LTD does

Lalo

the rear is awesome, but the front isnt too hot (reminds me of a 350Z in a way)

Lalo

Here's a site to pics of the Stratos at the Geneva Show

I'm digging the front on the red/orange stratos with the hidden headlamps (although they arent really hidden, just those rally covers over them), They should have those lights that flip open and close

burningman

Mark thanx for the info mate!

Yeah Lalo I agree the front is a bit "out there"
But overall a good start

That orange onw looks alot better for some reason bur man that vintage one

Lalo

yea, it's a great start. and that vintage one is so cool

future9er24

wow, those are pretty cool

burningman

Lots O pics

Apparently Fenomenon owns the stratos name now

Lalo

Thanks for the pics Doug. They look wesome
yup, they do own the name now

Apologies for bumping an old post, but I ran across this on the Gumball3000 pics page, and remembered this thread.

I've always liked Lancias and that Stratos looks great to me. Neat shot from the Gumball.

Sometimes an old post or even thread is worth bumping!

burningman

it's all good matic..it's related so no worries mate!
