They'll probably take to a company like Dallara. Not sure what they'll use as an engine though.

The chasis for the 360 is aluminum compared to carbon fibre of the mclaren and the chasis was designed by a different company than pininfarina.

@Taylor- U can still use the mcclaren chassis, it would b a strong capable one. They'd just have to find another body supplier other than Pininfarina.

Taylor Anders Jul 17, 2011
Using mclaren chasis would ruin it. The mclaren was designed for functionality. While the mclaren is a good looking car, it's not beautiful like this car or the 360 and 430 it's based off

They should try and get the mclaren mp4 chassis

@Phillip If you're going to insult a company it would make you much smarter if you knew how to spell the name of the company... It's Ferrari, to let you know.

Lol the Mike I was complaining about is right, I was just being a bitch. I just meant the Stratos is an iconic car, and should be appreciated as such, even if it's a bit...odd-looking.

Taylor Holloway Jul 18, 2011
I really like this car a lot. I think it looks really good

Michael Page Jul 17, 2011
I love the old stratos, and I like this one too. I hope it will find a way to be built, even though it wail never come to the us/is way to expensive.

I don't car for the looks I like ares with sexy curves like the 458

Phillip Greene Jul 17, 2011
thing looks a hell of a lot better than any farari

Anthony Villa-Garcia Jul 17, 2011
Well asides from evrything, does anyone think the front looks wide, or at least the lower intake area?

Daniel Lay Jul 17, 2011
Yeah my bad I just get tired of constant bickering that has nothing to do with anything

Ted Fernandez Jul 17, 2011
I liked the look of the original, this revision, not so. But I wouldn't be embarassed to be seen in one.

Michael Palazzo Jul 17, 2011
u know what Tom I think since u like the way the Statos looks I think you obviously don't care about cars.

Michael Palazzo Jul 17, 2011
I go to 3 car shows a week and help manage one of the biggest car shows in the U.S. but I guess since I don't like the look of the Stratos I don't care about cars

Michael Palazzo Jul 17, 2011
oh I know how important the Stratos WAS and I was excited for this one until I saw how ugly it is.

Adam Zarytsky Jul 17, 2011
Nice generalization Tom. When was the last time the stratos was in america?

Jethroll Sarduy Jul 17, 2011
I don't see what's not to like about this car. Looks awesome.

Tom Franquelli Jul 17, 2011
If you don't want to be seen in a Lancia Stratos, you can't possibly care about cars, like at all.

Tom Franquelli Jul 17, 2011
Clearly, you don't understand how awesome the Stratos was. That's why it looks like that.

Michael Palazzo Jul 17, 2011
I agree, looks terrible I'm sure its pretty quick but I wouldn't wanna be seen in one of those.

Ydj Young Jul 17, 2011
I think it just looks awful. Way to much 'stealth' like a Lamborghini, but then much less nice. And the headlights also look very strange.

Jayme West Jul 17, 2011
Kinda looks a like honda prelude if it was a super car!!!!

Rueben J Yslas Jul 17, 2011
That's just fantastic

Kevin Callejas Jul 17, 2011
Looks nice I think it would sell fast
