More Beautiful Than Alfa Romeo's 8C? The NEW Lancia Stratos

As a rally car, the Lancia Stratos was an impressive piece of kit. Sure, if you're taller than 6'2 you may have to turn yourself into a pretzel to drive one but everyone seems to agree:

It's worth it.

Although this initial, sinister-looking vehicle is a one-off creation for a German entrepreneur, Pininfarina has mentioned it could build a limited batch of 25 vehicles if it wanted to.

Limited or not, 00R thinks that someone in Italy should give this the seal of approval. With Ferrari 430 Scuderia underpinnings and a retro-inspired design, it's hard to drink that haterade.

But am I alone? Should Pininfarina hold off on building a small series of Stratos'

Like the Ford GT - I'm applaud the creators, the benefactors, and the engineers/designers.

Interesting design and evocative of the original Stratos but nowhere near the beauty and symmetry of the 8C, IMO.

the 8c is nice from most directions, but the rear tail lights make it look like a retarded person with their eyes spaced too far apart. And lol! I only know one current production car that isn't symmetric :P
