The Lancia Stratos Zero was a very small vehicle powered by a 1.6 liter V-4 producing 113hp.

I get it. Mine has a 347 stroker that makes 438hp at the flywheel and 418 lb.ft. of torque. The car weighs about 2,200lbs. I think I'm about at the top of the truly drivable power point. The sweet spot is around 300hp for these cars in my opinion. A lot of builders think they need 500+ hp, but find they can't control the wheel spin at virtually any speed.

The Stratos Zero is what I wanted the Durango 95 from A Clockwork Orange to look like in real life (that night back-road scene was one of my favorites), but in reality the M505 Probe 16 was super ugly. The Stratos Zero, in contrast, was vastly more beautiful.

I admire any and all Ferraris -- particularly one with a four-cam V-12, etc., but when Chevrolet later copied the roofline styling for the Chevy Monza 2+2, I was pretty bummed.

I didn't really see it looking at pictures but it pays to do a little research.

"The Monza 2+2 debuted as a single-model 2+2 hatchback. The Monza is 4 inches (100 mm) longer and weighs 180 lb (82 kg) more than the Vega from which it is derived.[3] General Motors' John DeLorean nicknamed it the "Italian Vega", citing styling with a strong resemblance to the Ferrari 365 GTC/4."

I have to agree, the thing is just too much of too much for me. Having said that, the attached video shows that they have done some very cool engineering with the thing.

What happens when you hire a high schooler to design your next vehicle using freeware CAD software and a 3D printer.
