New Lancia Stratos
The people behind the New Stratos project today revealed the technical specs and performance figures behind the new one-off supercar by Pininfarina, which was produced for one lucky Germany millionaire by the name of Michael Stoschek.

The New Lancia Stratos sits on a 20 cm shortened Ferrari F430 Scuderia underpinnings and measures 4181 mm in length, 1971 mm in width, 1240 mm in height with a 2400 mm wheelbase. Total dry weight of the Startos comes in at 1247 kg (2,749 pounds). Power comes from a 4.3L V8 engine, which produces 540-hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a 6 speed sequential gearbox with mechanical variable differential, the New Lancia Stratos goes from 0-62 mph in 3.3 seconds, 0-124 mph in 9.7 seconds with a top speed of 170 mph.
Stopping power comes from 398 mm front (6 pot) and 350 mm rear (4 pot) Brembo brakes.

The Performance
The New Stratos, like the racing version of its predecessor, has been extensively geared – down to every last detail – towards lightweight design and performance. Not surprisingly, the specification sheet was therefore extremely ambitious in this regard as well.
The low vehicle weight, the excellent balance and the precision chassis components made possible by the rigid body, were intended not only to provide an exhilarating driving experience, but to provide measurable results in the form of objective data.
As work on the New Stratos continued virtually without pause up until the presentation in Le Castellet, and weather conditions offered no opportunity for performance test runs, these will have be carried out at the next available opportunity.
We expect a power-to-weight ratio below 2.3 kg/hp with an acceleration time from 0-100 km/h of 3.3 seconds and from 0-200 km/h of 9.7 seconds. We expect top marks for braking performance and a benchmark position in the 18- and 36-meter slalom and similar handling tests.
After introducing the new rear axle ratio (crown wheel and pinion 9/45), the top speed will be reduced to 274 km/h, in order to achieve even better acceleration values.
