FIRST LOOK INSIDE THE NEW GENERATION STRATOS

After a deluge of exterior shots over the last 24 hours, the interior of the new-generation Lancia Stratos has finally been laid bare in a CGI image, revealing a minimalist, stark, purposeful cockpit that looks as if it is ready and itching to hit the next ‘special stage’. Just three materials are present: aluminium, carbonfibre and Alcantara. The project’s aims of uncompromising performance and lightness reverberate through every pore of the interior, with a true driver-orientated environment having been carefully created, in accordance with the strict adherence to Stratos tradition that is a hallmark of the ambitious project.

Nothing unnecessary can be seen inside the Stratos. There is no radio, glovebox, airbags, speakers or infotelematic system. No sign of cupholders, either. The project’s brief focused closely on reflecting the model’s stunning competition history on the inside, and the result is truly a ‘race ready’ cabin that makes the likes of the Alfa 8C Competizione look frilly inside. There is no carpet; instead, an aluminium plated floor – similar to that of the Ferrari 430 Scuderia – has a serrated finish to provide grip for footwear. Also referencing the Scuderia, a low-slung aluminium and carbonfibre centre console rises from the floor, and in this respect, the design language is similar to the original Stratos, as well as lightness-focused models such as Ferrari’s F50 and Enzo, and the Lotus Elise. Reinforcing the Ferrari links, round push buttons sourced from the 430 feature on the centre tunnel cover, to one side of the handbrake lever.
The dashboard is finished in stitched Alcantara, with a large hood section to shield the instruments from sunlight coming through the sharply raked windscreen. In front of the passenger there is a vertical map storage mesh (a feature also present on the 430 Scuderia), while the round aluminium dashboard air vents are sleeved within carbonfibre housings. Three switches on a panel in the centre control heating and ventilation. The instruments themselves are a pure reinterpretation of the Stratos’ original units, with round black gauges for the speedometer and tachometer, plus smaller gauges for the oil pressure, oil and water temperature, and an analogue clock all fitted into a rectangular aluminium plate. The speedometer includes an LED screen (drawn from Ferrari) to signal the upshift position. However the most significant gauge is the "G-Force" meter, which will measure the G-forces when the Stratos is an action, an evolution that needless-to-say wasn't to be found on the original car in the 1970s and a feature that once again demonstrates that this is an uncompromising supercar.

The steering wheel in the image, complete with engine start button and upshift lights, is taken from the Ferrari F430 (the Stratos is based on a redeveloped chassis taken from this model, as well as using its V8 engine) and includes the famous ‘Manettino’ button on one side. In this respect, the Manettino’s ‘Race’ setting can be seen in an LCD screen in the instrument panel image, while winter, Sport, CT and CST options will also be offered on the Manettino menu. While the paddles can be seen in the image (which is distinctly photoshopped around the steering wheel area), there is – curiously – no column switchgear shown on the official image. This lends weight to strong rumours that the final production version could be based on Maranello's latest, the 458 Italia, and thus gain its steering wheel, on which the indicator and wiper stalk functions are incorporated.
The door cards are fashioned from a very simple sweep of carbonfibre, and in a nod to history, are hollowed out to replicate the original Stratos’ legendary ‘helmet pockets’. At the front of this recess is a simple aluminium door catch. The two seats are pure race-style items, with carbonfibre frames and featuring six-point competition harnesses. The seats are trimmed with Alcantara and embossed with the original ‘Stratos’ logo on the headrests.

MORE TEST ACTION FOR THE NEW LANCIA STRATOS PROJECT

The ‘New Stratos’ project has taken another stride forward as it counts down to a launch date at Paul Ricard in November, with the reborn Lancia legend this time being put through its paces on a German handling course and the team involved again reporting its capabilities exceeded their expectations.

Following a well-documented test at the Fiat Group’s proving ground at Balocco in June, this latest test session took place at the Wächtersbach complex in Germany, which incorporates a short circuit and handling course. According to the project’s official website: "Wächtersbach’s tight handling course put different demands on the vehicle than the Balocco track had done thus far.”

Once again at the wheel of the new sports car prototype, and leader of the development program, was former F1 driver Tiago Monteiro. The Portuguese driver competed in 37 grands prix with Jordan, Midland and Spyker, and collected a podium finish in the controversial United States Grand Prix in 2005. He currently races in the FIA World Touring Car Championship for a SEAT satellite team, and also piloted the New Stratos prototype during its initial Balocco test. Behind the wheel in Germany, too, was Michael Stoschek, the German automotive sector industrialist and historic rally driver who has brought the ambitious project to fruition, as well as his son Maximilian.

According to the official website, “an enhanced Porsche 911 GT3 RS was used as the reference car”, and, as at Balocco where an insider told Italiaspeed that “all the benchmarks had been exceeded”, this time the sports car seems to have been equally as impressive in what was a very different scenario. “All in all, the test confirmed that the vehicle is both extraordinarily agile and a phenomenally fun drive,” the report stated. Matthias Mohr, a test engineer from Sachs ZF, was also able to try out individual damper adjustments while the sports car was being driven on the track. Following that test the New Stratos will be fitted with harder suspension springs and a more direct steering ratio before its next test takes place, once again at Balocco, in mid-September.

Photos from the test at Wächtersbach also show the cockpit, although the finish is very much still in its prototype phase. Notably, the driver’s helmet can be seen tucked into the door panel compartment – as in the original – but this time around, the legendary ‘helmet pocket’ is made of carbonfibre.

Poglej si cene starih stratosk, drugače pa naj bi se cena verjetno gibala okli cene AR 8C.
