The "New Strada" is a concept spawned by a collaboration
between the AADA (African Automotive Design Association)
and an Italian engineering company. The goal is to build
a modern interpretation of a legendary Italian supercar.
The name, and design, of the "New Strada" is
inspired by the 1969
Bizzarrini Strada GT 5300, and the overall shape and
design details of the on-paper-only concept clearly shows
the original cars influence.
The head designer of the New Strada is Jonathan Kasumba.
Kasumba also used traditional African masks as inspiration
for the exterior design of the concept, this has resulted
in a bold distinctive face packed with multiple intakes
and style lines.
While the New Strada is currently in the early stages
of development, the designers have made sure that their
design is feasible and created diagrammatic drawings showing
the New Strada's dimensions and packaging solutions.
The proposed engine for the New Strada is a front mounted
longitudinally positioned supercharged
V8.
