Please note: This is a '2K' paint product, meaning a separate hardener is required. This must be bought separately. As this is a 'direct gloss' paint, it is not suitable for metallic or pearlescent paint colours. As work on the New Stratos continued virtually without pause up until the presentation in Le Castellet, and weather conditions offered no opportunity for performance test runs, these will have be carried out at the next available opportunity. Our high-quality 2k direct gloss paint is VOC compliant and is used for refinishing cars, motorcycles, commercial vehicles and industrial applications, suitable for full resprays or partial repairs. standardised, where possbile, on D65 light with a standard observer according to CIE 1964 which may be

The New Stratos’ quality and performance really comes down to the teamwork and involvement of competent partners. Logos of the companies that were especially supportive were displayed on the New Stratos’ side panels at the Paul Ricard Circuit presentation. The German company Capristo, based in Sundern, deserves particular mention. They developed the New Stratos’ entire exhaust system, continuously optimizing it on an engine test bench and then manufacturing it out of very thin stainless steel, from manifold to sport cats. The exhaust has a guaranteed shelf life of 20,000 kilometers and was installed in the vehicle completely free of charge. The Lancia Stratos’ successor was developed on behalf of and under the direction of Michael und Maximilian Stoschek. Both are associates of the family-owned Brose Group, a global specialist in mechatronic products and electric drives for vehicles. Michael Stoschek, Brose associate and initiator of the modern interpretation of the legendary 70s rally car, will give a lecture entitled, “The New Stratos – Building a Lightweight Sports Car”.or metallic colours cannot be shown adequately. The finished colour, therefore, may not be as shown here. The decision to develop and build a new, ready-to-run Stratos was inspired by a meeting with Chris Hrabalek, with whom Michael Stoschek became acquainted at the 1986 World Stratos meeting organized in Alta Badia by Stoschek. This was also the impetus behind Stoschek’s involvement in the Fenomenon Stratos project, presented at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show, as well as his acquisition of the Stratos trademark rights. Traditional Synthetic Coach Enamel– Maintaining the traditional element of a long wet edge time minimises brush marks whilst maximising its self-levelling ability for a perfectly flat, gloss finish. Our premium formula gives you superb coverage; suitable for the traditional application methods of brushing and rollering. Synthetic Coach Enamel also supports spray application for those who want product originality. This collection of photographs has given rise to the idea for a book, in which more than 200 select photos provide fascinating insight into the development and manufacturing of this super sports car.

The low vehicle weight, the excellent balance and the precision chassis components made possible by the rigid body, were intended not only to provide an exhilarating driving experience, but to provide measurable results in the form of objective data. PNT uses only the highest quality products from industry leaders MIPA to manufacture our paints. Our 2k direct gloss paint requires a hardener mixed 2:1 with HS10 Hardener. Several publications will be reporting on the tests taking place at the Circuito Llucmajor circuit, from March 7th-9th, as well as on the rally from March 10th-12th. 12. Performance The Italian “flying wedge” also enjoyed success beyond its works deployment: top driver Bernard Darniche brought home an incredible 33 victories for the private team Chardonnet of France, in his blue Lancia Stratos Chardonnet.

Paintman Paint take pride in only producing the highest quality, hand-mixed paints. Combining premium tints and resin in our formulas develops a paint with outstanding coverage, build and durability; suitable for the finest of projects. The values optimized via the wind tunnel test will be applied to the calibration of the dampers and springs prior to the next test runs. In the coming days, the team of test drivers will review to what extent these modifications can further perfect the already excellent handling characteristics of the New Stratos on Balocco’s test and handling circuit. 08. Engineering More than 100,000 motorsport enthusiasts made the pilgrimage to Trento this year to experience a terrific hillclimbing race classic: With a length of about 11 miles and over 200 curves and hairpin bends, the FIA Mountain Championship Race at Monte Bondone is not only the longest, but also the most spectacular hillclimbing race in Europe.

The assignment was to find a contemporary interpretation for all the quintessential design characteristics of the Lancia Stratos, including: All those involved in the project were very proud of the media’s expert appraisal of both the concept and implementation of the New Stratos. Virtually every journalist recognized that developing a worthy successor to the Lancia Stratos was not a financially-motivated decision, rather a labor of love. To quote the project’s initiator, Michael Stoschek:

Michael Stoschek found it extremely fascinating to discover that, in addition to Chris Hrabalek, many renowned designers were inspired by the idea of a modern Stratos, and put their time and energies into helping him make his vision a reality. In the more than five years since the beginning of the New Stratos, there have been a great number of impressive photos that seamlessly document each individual phase of development. The New Stratos, like the racing version of its predecessor, has been extensively geared – down to every last detail – towards lightweight design and performance. Not surprisingly, the specification sheet was therefore extremely ambitious in this regard as well.
