Lancia New Stratos: design sketches and updates


The updated information on the Lancia New Stratos, the one-off commissioned by collector Michael Stoschek and inspired by the iconic racing car of the 1970's. The report includes a set of exclusive design sketches.


On last August the publication of several spy shots of a new Lancia Stratos started many rumors about this mysterious project.

Lancia Stratos Design SketchLater, the website new-stratos.com revealed that the car had been commissioned by Michael Stoschek, an entrepreneur in the automotive supply industry and a collector and driver of historic racing cars.

Now we are able to publish a number of design sketches that document the development process of this special one-off.

These images were originally published by UK printed publication Auto Italia Magazine.

According to new-stratos.com, "The construction of the car has been underway since autumn 2008, at Pininfarina in Turin, Italy."

The Design

The decision to develop and build a new Stratos was inspired by a meeting with Chris Hrabalek, with whom Michael Stoschek became acquainted at the 1986 World Stratos meeting organized in Alta Badia by Stoschek.
