The developers of the New Stratos have released some new video footage of their Ferrari F430 Scuderia-based supercar. The first clip shows WTTC and former Formula-1-Pilot Tiago Monteiro fine-tuning the chassis of the New Stratos at Balooco test track, Italy, while the second video is from the final wind tunnel test that took place on September 13th at Pininfarina's plant in Turin. We're still waiting for the full technical specs and performance numbers but for now, head over the jump to watch the two aforementioned videos plus one more with the owner of the one-off supercar, Michael Stoschek, tackling the Arosa hillclimb in his classic Lancia Stratos Group 4. _______________________________ VIDEOS _______________________________

We've been keeping an eye out for video footage of the one-off New Stratos supercar being developed by Pininfarina ever since the news broke out about the build. And today we found the first film showing the car in the flesh doing some rounds on the track. The man you see talking about the reborn Stratos in the video clip is none other than Michael Stoschek, the German automotive parts supply magnate behind the project. Our knowledge of the German language is pretty much limited to certain key phrases such as "Bier, bitte mehr bier" and "Du siehst hübsch aus", so if any of you could translate, we'd appreciate it. The New Stratos has been in development since late 2008. It's based on a shortened Ferrari 430 Scuderia chassis and, as you can see in the video below, power comes from a Ferrari V8 engine.
