Unless you're Michael Stoschek and have a Ferrari F430 Scuderia turned Lancia Stratos to play in, chances are you won't be able to ride in a brand new Lancia Stratos->ke45 for anything short of an arm and leg.
But all that's about to change thanks to the people over at Montenergy.
The Italian tuning firm has come up with a body kit for the KTM X-Bow->ke2333 called the "Stratosferica." The name alone illustrates the tuning firm's ultimate goal; to make a Stratos from the more affordable street-homologated sports car. This transformation was achieved by putting a top on the once top-less track car and giving it the look, depending on how trained your eyes are to detail, of a Lancia Stratos->ke3738.
On top of the body kit, Montenergy is also offering a performance boost for the X-Bow, one that takes the output of its Audi->ke14-sourced 2.0-liter TFSI four-cylinder engine from the standard 237 horsepower to 310 ponies. For information's sake, that's more powerful than the most powerful X-Bow - the 300-horsepower X-Bow R - in the market.
The whole enchilada of modifications will set you back €12,000, which is about $17,000 based on current exchange rates. Add that to the base price of $88,500 for the KTM X-Bow and the whole shebang will set you back about $105,500. Considering that, as of right now, that's one of the only options for a brand new "Stratos-like" vehicle, the price isn't all that steep. Even if rumors are true and a limited run of Stoschek's new Lancia Stratos are produced - not likely, but stranger things have happened - it would cost around $545,000. That makes this tuning package for the KTM X-Bow that much better.
