Stoschek's Stratos

You're probably familiar with the new Lancia Stratos by now. If not, it's basically one man's dream to create a modern version of the iconic and legendary Stratos. That man is billionaire Michael Stoschek, and the car - an ultra-expensive one-off - is based on the Ferrari F430. Undisclosed (and presumably colossal) sums have been poured into the car's development since late 2008.

Here, rather than grainy spy shots and half-glimpses, we see some official footage of the car's testing.
