k me that is stunning. Pop in a 400bhp V8, take on the R8 = win for Lancia. It isn't like Ferrari have anything in that market space with the cheapest Fezza being about £140K now, so what would Fiat have to complain about?
Not complain, but this is where a Stratos should be a home, and I'd love to see this new made just as capable.k me that is stunning. Pop in a 400bhp V8, take on the R8 = win for Lancia.

Wonderful car... if the new one is half as good as the old one (minus the halfords upgrades please), it'll put a smile on a lot of people's faces!

if they made it to production.. i would conisder buying it.
Given that it will almost certainly be well into six figures, you might have a bit of saving up to do. 
Yes, yes, yes. Rally car, 500ponies, lightweight, etc.
Have you noticed the wheelbase has been kept the same though?
So, even if the car has a detuned Fezza V8, that still north of 400ponies with that short wheelbase and weighing, well, not that much.
The only guy ever to truelly tame a Stratos was Sandro Munari and even then his idea of taming it was to basically drive it sideways on various vectored angles as it was the only way to get decent forward progress in one! This new motor is packing 100ponies+ north of what the old one was in either road or competition form. Its been engineered with just rwd aswell, so it would have to be racing, not rallying unless somebody wants to do an expensive engineering exercise to find a competitive 4wd set up for it.
So then, just how many of you think you have the driving abilities of Sandro?

While not heavily televised, there is a GT class of rally cars still these days.Have you noticed the wheelbase has been kept the same though?

Pop-Up headlight (or lack of) fail. 
IIRC, safety legislation now prevents pop-up headlights, more's the pity... though somebody feel free to prove me wrong...

Looks great apart from:
1 Headlights - need a better shape
2. Its really needs the slats on the rear window
3. Need to make in more numbers with an option for a non Fezza engine, so its affordable for mere mortals to buy, so like the z4MC, 350z etc, Lancia would make a killing.
you got it in one mate.. the slats are a must, and the headlights are too 'sad looking' if this was a mass produced car at say.. £40k (tops) it would be amazing. 1 Headlights - need a better shape
