Review Automotive Carrozzeria Touring Unveils Alfa Romeo Disco Volante Spider

Review automotive Following in the strides of their stunningly wonderful Alfa Romeo Disco Volante car in 2013, plan house Carrozzeria Touring revealed another drop-top variation at the 2016 Geneva automobile fair.

Like the hardtop Disco that appeared in 2013, the new Spider inspires the soul and configuration of the immensely appealing 1952 Alfa Romeo 1900 C52 "Disco Volante" arrangement. These autos were planned in conjunction with both Carrozzeria and Alfa to investigate optimal design and new dashing innovation.

Starting with the bones of an Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione Spider, auto is stripped down to an exposed moving undercarriage, with the 8C's space-outline, cowl, firewall, and the focal carbon cell remaining. Carozzeria wraps this spine close by beaten aluminum, alongside carbon fiber utilized for the front guard, grille, hood, side-skirts, trunk top, windscreen outline, and the removable targa rooftop. The truth is out, the Disco Volante drops the 8C Spider's energy collapsing material rooftop, evacuating both the mechanical many-sided quality and a reasonable piece of weight also.

The new Disco Volante Spider holds the same powertrain as the 8C, with 444 hp pushed out from the Maserati-sourced 4.7-liter V-8 motor. This implies the Disco Spider races to 60 mph in around 4.5 seconds, and on to a top pace of 181 mph.

In this way, now may be the best time to clean off any additional 8C Spiders you have sitting in a shed. Carrozzeria says they will make an aggregate of seven autos, with a six month lead time from when the 8C enters the plant to the Disco conveyance. No words on cost yet, yet figuring the going cost of a giver Alfa 8C Spider, it won't be shoddy.
