We've seen the Lancia Stratos in spy photos and official videos, but we haven't seen the spec sheet - until now. The modern day revival packs a 4.3-liter V8 that produces 540 PS (397 kW / 533 hp) and over 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) of torque, thanks to a remapped ECU and a high-performance exhaust system. It is connected to a six-speed sequential gearbox which enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.3 seconds, 0-200 km/h (124 mph) in 9.7 seconds, and hit a top speed of 274 km/h (170 mph).

The latter enables the car have a 44:56 weight distribution and an overall weight of 1247 kg (2,749 lbs). Other highlights include include Brembo carbon ceramic brakes, a roll cage, and 19-inch wheels with Dunlop Sport Maxx tires. Source: new-stratos.com
