Title: New Stratos spotted testing, yes, really!
Post by: lee69 on 02 August, 2010, 07:04:51 PM
On Italiaspeed today. Is this the Fenomenon or is it something official?

Anyone know anything?

Coincidentally, the Fenomenon is on display at the Design Museum on London's South Bank from 24th August to 16th September.

ooooh sir !

If they're not going to make the Fulvietta, can I PLEASE have one of these ?

I fear it will be way out of my price range though.

Martin.

Given the general standards of journalism at Auto Express, I'd give as much credence to their readers as to those of the red top newspapers...  Its the magazine which takes motoring journalism as close as any to tabloid style.  Autocar looks erudite by comparison.

I've always loved the Stratos - for its looks and the way it performs.  I was lucky to drive the only one ever in South Africa about 30 years ago.  So I also love the idea of a new model.

More details of the new Stratos have emerged - it is a Bertone design and not the Fenomenon. But will it make series production?

I thought the guy who did the Fenomenom owned the rights to the Stratos' name?

You are correct  Chris Hrabalek owns the Stratos name

The silver car in the Autocar article is a Computer Generated Image. There's usually an accompanying photo showing the rear three quarter view on which you can that the back wheel doesn't have the dish to it that appears on the first photo.

Still hoping to see some form of production for this car though!

Amazingly the new Stratos doesn't appear to be any bigger than the old? Could be a challange getting into it for many modern supercar owners.

Footage of the new Stratos in action, looks good on the move but the 'soundtrack' a bit disappointing IMHO.
