Lancia Stratos
This looks totally hot. I always loved the Stratos. I'm looking forward to the new version very much.

LOVE that third pic comparison.
The one thing that's on my mind is I'm wondering if this new evolution of the Stratos is lending itself to being a mid-tiered "supercar", and perhaps being marketed as such, instead of being a functional, cilivian's rally car. I know it's not the first car to do so (I always regarded the Subaru Impreza to be the first 4WD "Supercar", and that was well over a decade ago) but it still has me tinkering in my head whether they traded off the inherent function that the Stratos has always had, and just added form (and perhaps power) as compensation.

I don't understand why cars can be expensive. Producing that by assembly line couldn't possibly cost more than 10K so why do they have to make like only 8 of them and hand make them simply so they can inflate the price? Why wouldn't GM mass produce vehicles like these? I most certainly would buy one if they did.
