    Unfortunately not going into production, as Ferrari won't support a production run:

    Shame, however.......every cloud etc.

    Stoschek have revealed that they are in talks with Renault over the possibility of producing a successor to the Renault Alpine A110 Berlinette. The Alpine was a 98hp, leightweight straight-four capable of 219km/h. We’ll just have to wait and see how that one turns out!

    Re: The new Stratos

    Phwoar, that does look lovely. Not sure if I had a Scuderia I'd be convinced it was worth mutilating it .. but I'll never have that problem!

    Would it have the handling characteristics of the original?

    Don't worry, you can still get a TR7 and no-one will know the difference.

    Here's something that will bring a tear to the eye for those of us lucky enough to have seen these things in action......

    Turn up the sound (and sorry about the advert at the start).

    Not in the same league but I'm pretty sure someone at Goodwood was building replicas.
    Can't find it right now as Google is dominated by this new ferrari one.

    Do you mean these guys?

    I looked deeply in to it several years back with the full intent of building one but it was just going to cost far to much money. Very very high quality though. I have seen two real ones, one up close and two Hawk replicas, one of which I got inside. Both the Hawks seemed much better built to me, if anything it was the original Lancia that seemed more like a bodged together kit car.

    That my friend will take you to over 100 miles per hour. It looks like it has the same doorhandles as well.



    Seriously though the original Stratos was my poster car taking over from the Countach, back in the olden days. I would love an original even if it is a bag of bolts.

    My first grown-up magazine (graduating from Beano and Look In) was bought because it had the Stratos on the cover and a big gatefold poster in the middle 8)

    Closest I ever got was (four ?) X1/9's. :D Very flickable :twisted:
