New Lancia Stratos at Geneva Motor Show

Unfortunately, probably about as likely to hit production as the new Fulvia. With the way things are at FIAT, no chance. Do you have any pictures?

mmm not convinced. been looking at it for the last couple days and sure it looks pretty good and shows it's lineage, but there's something inexplecibly porky about it, like a hot chick playing "chubby bunnies".

 

waiting back on reports from Geneva about the X1/99 concept. was initially touted as a new X1/9 when stories broke in late January, but in the end it's turned out to be a largely independent project with little to nothing to do with the beautiful X1/9.

still some rumblings going around though, and it's stirred quite a response from the X-community, basically we want a new wedge-shaped affordable Elise.

Fiat X1/99 Concept Forum (Mac the mod is a bit frenetic with the keyboard, but there's plenty of discussion about it there)

where it all started...

 

Remove the center pillar from the windshield give it power from a Ferrari, (430?) then you have my attention.

 

Excellent!

I don't like the split front window though.

 

Actually if it's gonna be a Stratos it should have a transverse V6

Look at the rally-esque version (red w/ white accents)
I like. (Although I like the original better)

 

you have to be kidding, who signed off on that, what a waste.

 

Is it me, or does the Stola S81 look VERY similar? (At least in the window area)

Damn, that looks like a blown up hotwheels car. It really has no place on the road. And it pains me to say it, given that I adore the marque.

Lancia should redo the Integrale to compete in the sporty hatch audi/focus/WV market. I always loved the Integrale's muscular lines.
