The Disco Volante Spyder Is A Topless Beauty
Milan-based Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera has been producing beautiful coach-built bodies for 90 years. Founded in 1926, the company designed the stunning Maserati 3500, the pioneering Lamborghini 350GT, and the iconic Aston Martin DB5. So to celebrate its incredible 90th anniversary, Touring will be introducing a Spyder version of its Disco Volante Coupe at this week’s Geneva motor show.
The Disco Volante Coupe, based on the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, was first unveiled back in 2013. The stunning design won the coveted Design Award at the 2013 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, and the car received high praise from a certain Jeremy Clarkson. The original Coupé was restricted to eight units, so we’re excited to see it make a return; albeit without a roof.
Seven spyders will be produced, with each receiving their own unique colours. The car on display at Geneva will feature a beautiful ‘Blue Ceruleo’ hue. Performance figures and details on the powertrain have yet to be released, but we can expect the car to remain close to factory 8C specifications. To refresh your memory, the 8C featured a 4.7-litre, 450bhp V8, which powered the car to 62mph in an impressive 4.2 seconds.
The Spyder will be officially unveiled tomorrow, but a video of the car has already surfaced online. Take a look below for some close up footage.

Many people find this car very beautiful and I respect that but in my eyes it’s not that good looking at all. Just what i think
Agree
Agreed lol
Is it me or does the Disco Volante share the same headlights with the Ferrari 599 GTB? I’ve always wondered ever since I’ve seen it.
tweet tweet
It looks like they took them directly off the 599 and removed the transparent cover
Can’t be unseen
And a/c controls and headlight switch
I’ve been thinking that for so long
599 head light lol
I respect everyone’s opinion but imo it’s kind of ugly, right? Also the front looks a lot like the 599, maybe because of those headlights.
I thought that too a while back, but it has really grown on me.
It’s not beautiful, it’s just different and radical.
I think it look likes a boat
I wonder about the price tag….
Looks like z8+599
I think it’s okay to not like its looks (I love it though), but nobody can deny that it’s a very well executed hommage to the ‘52 Model, because it contains all the elements in a modern silhouette.
Looks like a boat but Looks cool
