Angelilli Automobili’s proposed Tipo 829 takes an unusually expansive view of the modern supercar. Rather than being defined solely by road performance or circuit ability, the project is presented as a machine that can be configured around three distinct environments: the street, the track and rally stages.
That split personality places the car in territory long associated with the Lancia Stratos, a compact performance icon whose competition ambition helped shape its identity. The Tipo 829 does not simply pursue a retro theme; its stated premise is to give the owner a choice over how the car is used.
For enthusiasts, the appeal lies in the contrast. Many contemporary supercars offer selectable driving modes, but Angelilli’s concept frames the change more fundamentally, treating road, track and rally operation as central elements of the vehicle’s purpose rather than secondary settings.
The proposal also arrives at a time when specialist manufacturers are looking for clearer identities in an increasingly crowded performance market. A car built around adaptability could stand apart, provided the transition between its intended roles is convincing in real-world use.
Angelilli has so far positioned the Tipo 829 as a proposal, not a finished production car. The available information, reported by Car and Driver, leaves the project’s final technical form and production path to be established.
