Pininfarina reveals New Stratos

Pininfarina has revealed a one-off supercar called the New Stratos for German collector Michael Stoscheck.

The car has a 4.3-liter V8 and is meant to channel the spirit of the legendary Lancia Stratos rally car of the 1970s. It was shown on Monday on the Paul Ricard circuit at Le Castellet.

The project has been under way since 2008. The car is fitted with a roll cage, a six-speed transmission and an aluminum chassis. It also employs carbon fiber and aluminum in the body and the interior.

The original Stratos borrowed parts from Ferrari with the Dino's V6, and this new version uses some parts from the 430 Scuderia. The New Stratos has Brembo brakes, a rear spoiler and air conditioning.
