Lancia Stratos gör comeback - igen
Men det är inte Lancia som bygger den
Sedan 2014 ägs Lancia av Fiat Chrysler Automobile och den enda modell de för tillfället erbjuder är Ypsilon, och den säljs endast i Italien. Ägarna har istället lagt sitt krut på Alfa Romeo och Maserati. 2010 började snacket gå kring en ny Stratos, byggd på Ferrari F430 Scuderia. Designen hade förfinats ytterligare och även om den kanske inte gillades av alla fanns det definitivt lite Stratos-linjer här. Men, 2011 kom ett bakslag eftersom Pininfarina som ritat nytolkningen förbjöds av Ferrari att gå vidare med den. I början av 2012 meddelade man att projektet hade lagts ned. Nu blir det dock lite liv i luckan igen då företagen Manifattura Automobili Torino (MAT) och New Stratos Gbr gått samman och ska bygga 25 stycken nya exemplar av bilen. Förutom denna ska man tydligen även ta fram en Safari-version och en GT-racerbil. Vad nykomlingen ska baseras på är oklart för tillfället men man lovar att den kommer att ha en motor som ger mer än 550 hästar. Den ska även ha "specially tuned suspension" och "deliver an experience that no other supercar can assure on tight and twisty roads." Om den kommer att se ut som bilen som visades 2010 är oklart för tillfället.Den nya bilen kommer tillsammans med ett original från 70-talet att ställas ut på årets bilmässa i Genève. Den första kunden ska få sin bil redan i april. Priset ryktas börja på 835.000 dollar. Nedan ser ni en liten del av det Lancia-inslag The Grand Tour körde nyligen. I mitt tycke det bästa inslaget programmet levererat hittills.

Pressmeddelande
NEW STRATOS: MANUFACTURING OF A LIMITED SERIES
Manifattura Automobili Torino and New Stratos Gbr have reached an agreement for the manufacturing of a limited series of the New Stratos.
The car developed by Michael Stoschek, Chairman of the Brose Group and famous German Entrepreneur, together with his son, and originally built by Pininfarina, has been licensed to MAT that will produce and sell a maximum of 25 units.
Paolo Garella, presently CEO of Manifattura Automobili Torino and former Program Manager of the New Stratos Project, has obtained from Michael and Maximilian Stoschek permission to replicate the New Stratos using the same design and technologies of their car.
The 25 units will be offered worldwide, with the customer having a choice of different options and variations. The base platform that MAT will use to build the New Stratos will allow the creation of a GT racer, a Safari version, but also a competent supercar for the daily use.
The striking design of the New Stratos follows the lines of its world-famous predecessor offering a new exciting interpretation of the most famous and successful rally car of the past. Its lightweight design, the engine that can deliver over 550HP and the specially tuned suspensions and the ideal balance deliver an experience that no other supercar can assure on tight and twisty roads. The classic and simple car interior is a perfect example of efficient and bespoke design. It maintains the characteristics of the original car, like the integrated support for the helmets in the doors and enhances the souls and the mission of the car: making it ready to be a new, winning rally car.
Michael Stoschek has commented on the agreement by saying: “I am delighted that other passionate car enthusiasts can experience how successor of the most fascinating rally car from the seventies still sets the bar for design and performance today”.
Paolo Garella added: “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. 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.”
The car in all its variants will be presented at the upcoming Geneva Motorshow at the MAT stand. Prices and terms of delivery will be announced during the event.
