Stratos Replicas

Replicas have been produced, based mainly on Lancia Beta mechanicals, since about 1986. Many were initally powered by Lancia Twin-cam engines, with a very few boasting Ferrari power-plants, but many replicas are now starting to appear with Alfa Romeo 3 Litre V6 engines.

A good number of kits have been completed around the world, and many owners of such kits are members of the Stratos Replica Club . You can view details of a number of the completed replicas on our Replica Cars page.

Until recently, there were 2 UK manufacturers of quality Stratos Replicas - Hawk Cars and C.A.E.  The HF2000 and HF3000 are produced by Hawk Cars (formerly Transformer) and the CAE Corse was produced Carson Automotive Engineering (formerly Litton/Allora).

Both produce kits which faithfully reproduce the style and mid-engined layout of the original car, and are manufactured to very high standards. Both use fibreglass bodies on a steel spaceframe chassis, and utilise the Lancia/Fiat range for certain donor parts, although both are very comprehensive kits, including the majority of parts needed to complete the build.

These 2 manufacturers have now been joined by a further manufacturer, Hennessy Racing, who is producing a version of the Group 5 Silhouette prototype, especially for racing.
