    New Lancia Stratos Headed For Limited Production

    Michael Stoschek is a German billionaire entrepreneur who is chairman of car parts supplier Brose and a rallying enthusiast. He has commissioned a limited production run (up to 25 units) of the new Lancia Stratos.

    The bespoke sports car builder, Manifattura Automobili Torino (MAT) announced they will be tasked with the production and it will displayed at the Geneva motor show.

    The model, a homage to Lancia’s legendary sports and rally car, of which 492 examples were built between 1973 and 1978, was first unveiled in concept form in 2010. This design was done by the legendary Pininfarina whereas the original Stratos was the work of Bertone.

    The original concept was based on a cut-down aluminium spaceframe structure from a Ferrari 430 Scuderia and used that car’s drivetrain. However, in 2011, Ferrari blocked Pininfarina and “any other Ferrari-dependent suppliers” from putting the New Stratos into production, prompting the car’s designers to look elsewhere for a base.

    The announcement from MAT also makes mention that “The base platform that MAT will use will allow the creation of a GT racer, a Safari version and a competent supercar for the daily use.”

    So far the only mechanical details revealed is that the engine produces 542 hp, while pictures show the steering wheel-mounted shift paddles of an automatic gearbox.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
