Default Reinterpretation of Lancia Stratos at Geneva show

From the Autovisie site:



A London based design studio independently revives the Lancia Stratos with a reinterpretation of the car that will be shown at the Geneva show. Lancia has always been associated with luxurious and stylish cars, until they made a name in rallying during the eighties, with cars like the Stratos. With the introduction of the Thesis Lancia had announced their strategy was to go back to their old principles. Besides, Lancia doesn't have the funds to develop a platform for a new sportscar. The men behind the British design studio are selfproclaimed Stratos fanatics and with their prototype hope to make Lancia reconsider their strategy. For now, Lancia has no plans for a new sportscar.

I'm really curious what this thing looks like! Judging by the photograph I posted it's instantly recognisable as a Stratos. I think chances of Lancia producing a new sportscar are very very slim. Even the wonderful Fulvia concept on the already existing platform of the Fiat Barchetta didn't get the green light. Then I guess a new platform is even less likely. Still, there's no harm in dreaming, just like those Londoners do...
