First Video of New Lancia Stratos Supercar in Action


We've been keeping an eye out for video footage of the one-off New Stratos supercar being developed by Pininfarina ever since the news broke out about the build. And today we found the first film showing the car in the flesh doing some rounds on the track. The man you see talking about the reborn Stratos in the video clip is none other than Michael Stoschek, the German automotive parts supply magnate behind the project.

Our knowledge of the German language is pretty much limited to certain key phrases such as "Bier, bitte mehr bier" and "Du siehst hübsch aus", so if any of you could translate, we'd appreciate it.

The New Stratos has been in development since late 2008. It's based on a shortened Ferrari 430 Scuderia chassis and, as you can see in the video below, power comes from a Ferrari V8 engine.
