Built from all new parts in 2014/2015 from a kit supplied by Lister Bell Automotive. This car is based on the original Lancia Stratos but incorporates many new remanufactured components (supplied by LB) made from stainless steel and anodised billet aluminium. .
The car is built from an extremely rigid, powder coated chassis which includes the integral roll cage. The main floor is laser cut stainless steel as are many of the underbody flooring and cooling channel components. Suspension is manufactured from powder coated, fabricated wishbones and control arms which are assembled using full rose jointed fittings allowing the suspension to be fully adjustable. The brakes are bespoke components manufactured by ‘Hi Spec’ all carrying the Lister Bell logo and are ventilated discs all round with 4 pot calipers. Separate handbrake calipers are also fitted to the rear wheels.
There are gas filled adjustable dampers all round, with progressive rate springs which ensure a compliant ride quality. Anti roll bars, again fully adjustable via stainless steel rose joint linkages, are fitted front and rear and the car sits on Lister Bell’s own replica ‘Coffin Spoke’ alloy wheels.
Following the Stratos concept, the engine is a 2,5 litre V6 24 valve unit with 6 speed gearbox from the Alfa Romeo 156.
This gives the car the performance of a modern sports car whilst retaining all the exciting characteristics of the original Stratos.
