Not to mention the burnished, mucky-looking aluminium gearshift knob. Still, you would... By Sam Sheehan / . After another 8 years of frustrating delays, the full MAT developed road car arrived. By approaching ten owners of original cars and securing funding from them, he managed to build the Fenomenon Stratos concept car and display it at the Geneva Auto Salon in 2005.It was a huge hit, and one of those initial investors, a German named Michael Stoschek, decided to press ahead and turn the show car into a road car, with plans to build a run of 25. MAT already has at least 12 customers for the New Stratos, according to Automotive News Europe.At a base price around $720,000 before options, the New Stratos is more expensive than some examples of the original model. ... At a base price … Ferrari’s mid-engined supercar built between 2004 and 2009 is in plentiful supply, is blessed with a wickedly sharp engine, and treads that fine line between modern performance, control and excitement and […] The New Lancia Stratos is on display at the Geneva motor show before it is put into limited production by Manifattura Automobili Torino (MAT).. The steering feels like an F430’s in weighting and feedback, but the car reacts so much more quickly to it. But the steering wheel, heater controls and instruments (lifted straight from the F430) and the rudimentary design of the binnacle are disappointing.
Even so, I don’t want to paint a picture of calm fluidity. It’s a huge frustration and just another niggle on this car that oozes so much potential.For all the irksome little details, the Stratos can deliver moments of pure magic. It’s only natural that it has an old-school sensibility about it, but I’m surprised by just how appealing the whole package is.It’s a long way from perfect, and MAT needs to refine and polish the execution to justify the entry price, but the reborn Stratos is an inspired idea that could be inspiring to drive, too.I hope they find a way to fulfil its incredible potential.Ferrari's 1000hp supercar delivers an electrifying performance,Prancing Horse high-fives itself after 45 years of mid-engined V8s,Ferrari F8 Tributo given the Novitec tuning treatment,More power, speed, and attitude for Ferrari’s 488 successor,One of Ferrari’s icons lights up on Enzo’s birthday,By Jethro Bovingdon | Photos: James Lipman, 25 Apr 2020 Reviews.© Copyright Bauer Media Pty Limited. But I continue to enjoy its size, the natural athleticism, which doesn’t tip over into hair-trigger on-limit behaviour, and the fact that people seem to like it but aren’t falling over themselves to take videos on their phone. Despite the shorter length relative to the F430 Scuderia, the MAT Stratos is actually larger than the original Stratos. MAT and New Stratos gbr will have a booth at the Geneva Motor Show where they will show the standard New Stratos, a Safari version, and a GT racer.

Performance is raw and very driver focused, right down to the traditional gated manual gearbox. It feels as though you could reach out and touch all four wheels from the driver’s seat and yet this tiny buzzsaw of a car conveys full-scale intimidation. But what’s really appealing is that, unlike with some modern Ferraris, the dazzling agility feels real rather than conjured up by an artificially quick steering rack. MAT will take the 430 Scuderia and will slice 7.9 inches (200 millimeters) out of the Ferrari's wheelbase. Sure, it’s different, but it doesn’t scream its value and rarity like most bespoke supercar creations. There’s so much natural drama in the shape and sawn-off dimensions. Incidentally, the hypercar comparison is valid because the MAT Stratos costs around $1m plus a donor car.MAT is happy for you to start with either a Scuderia or a standard F430 and will even convert a car with an F1 paddle-shift gearbox to a manual should you so desire. Think about it. The MAT Stratos builds on the F430’s 4.3-litre V8 with a few choice tweaks and a Larini titanium sports exhaust to deliver 397kW; it has a six-speed open-gated manual gearbox; at just 4181mm long and with 201mm chopped from the donor car’s wheelbase, it’s extremely compact, and, thanks to a full carbonfibre body, it weighs 1350kg.Even better, when painted dark blue like this car, it can almost slip quietly into the background.

This car might not be a pureblood, but I’m not sure I can think of a more exciting project anywhere in the world.The story of the reborn Stratos is long, winding and really rather extraordinary.
