A new approach to the ''extended relativity'' principle proposed by Recami, Mignani, and others, in which the speed of light (c) is invariant with respect to both subluminal (vc) linear generalized Lorentz transformations in vacuum, is presented, in order to take into account some novel nonlinear velocity transformations (v, V) ..-->.. (v', V'), associated with changes in motion at the interface between vacuum and a deformable hadronic medium, envisaged in Santilli's notion of quarks as mutations of physical leptons (''eletons'') inside hadrons. The new approach demands a generalization of the usual ralation (vV = c/sup 2/) between subluminal and superluminal inertial frames or objects to the (Lie-admissible) form (vV = c/sup 2/ = V'/sup 2/-v'/sup 2/), which is tantamount to a principle of relativistic invariance in velocity space.
