Eek... We thought we loved the New Stratos. In fact we knew we did, at least until this morning when we saw these two videos on YouTube.
The flicks were filmed at a Rally Legends bash in San Marino by one of YouTube's star turns 'marchettino', and feature several original Stratos HF rally cars with (and we quote) 'LOUD sounds'.
So is it just us, or do those raspy Dino V6-powered originals do things in a way that make the throaty V8 rumble and contemporary styling of the New Stratos look and sound a little bit, well, less awe-inspiring? Or maybe it's just that the original Stratos inspires so much love that its light will never dim...
That's 'classics' for you, eh? But still, like us, we're guessing you'll not be kicking the New Stratos out of your fantasy garage for its throaty tailpipe noises!
