NEW STRATOS SPECS REVEALED

Pub talk is important even for one-off specials, it seems, and Pininfarina, the maker of the New Stratos - the unique recreation of Lancia's iconic supercar - seems to agree, as it has released a full set of technical data for the car. <br><br> The headline figures are thus: 533bhp and 369lb ft of torque from the Ferrari 430 Scuderia-sourced V8. Which is enough to push the 1247kg Stratos to 62mph in 3.3secs, to 124mph in 9.7 secs and on to a top speed in excess of 186mph - although this may be reduced to 170mph after fitting After a new rear axle ratio in the name of even more frenetic acceleration.

Wot'll she do, mister? Quite a lot is the answer, as New Stratos reveals its vital stats

Pub talk is important even for one-off specials, it seems, and Pininfarina, the maker of the New Stratos - the unique recreation of Lancia's iconic supercar - seems to agree, as it has released a full set of technical data for the car.

It's quite quick, then. And a good thing too, because plans are afoot to create a GT2-spec race version of the car. These have been apparently initiated by Chris Hrabalek, the initial instigator of the New Stratos idea, as a thank you to the car's owner Michael Sotschek for helping him make his original dream come true.

If it comes to fruition, the GT2 Stratos could compete in the Nurburgring 24 hours in 2012 - much as Ferrari fan Jim Glickenhaus is planning to do with his Ferrari P4/5C in 2011.
