^^^ I didn`t like the coupe either , although I wasn`t lucky to see it live , but this looks somehow better.

Indeed the original Stratos it`s a masterpiece , no doubt about it . :)

I didn't like it too, looks like a sort of frog...

[PATo355]

It looks like a toy ...

It looks like a toy ...

just like one of those awful hotwheels die-casts :?
they must be joking with this car. It can't be a stratos

[sads]

Yeah I agree it looks like it belongs at Toy's r us

Anyone roadtested one? With the Stradale powerplant and the SWB chasis it only had to be a snake more than a frog! in a courvacious mountain road for example. I just imagine it powersliding out a hairpin or so.

I love the idea of a new Stratos, as its one of my favorite cars of all time; definately in my deam car garage :)
this to me doesnt look bad, but the colors are all wrong... too flashy.

the original looks WAY better; perhaps it would've been a better idea to do what ford did, and make the original again... just slightly modified; as such a race car shape is timeless.

awfulllll!
they can't make that car....i like much more the original version

[dutchmasterflex]

the coupe looks much much better than this roadster rendering..

[hamlet]

I don't know but I must have something wrong because I find that car pretty fun and the toy aspect does not shock me. Even the colr, I think it fits with the shape of the car.

But for the moment I just saw a few mockups in the car shows and nothing more. Let see the first model in case they built one...

prodrive is studying if there is profit in making the stratos, was told in evo news. prob they will conclude, that there is no sense using ferrari´s fabulous v8 and weight of 746kg is ridiculous. But those numbers are so good starting points, that there is room to give up some of those numbers ;)
