A green supercar that combines history, performance and functionality

A $375,000 prototype coach build will make its North American debut at Supercar Weekend 2009. Supercar Weekend, a platform for new luxury, attracts affluent audiences from around the world who will have the opportunity to place the first orders for the Codatronca. The event serves as a platform for designers and manufacturers to interact with potential customers and clients.

Post war global innovations included the remarkable movement of design oriented cars. Visually stunning designs that have become iconic in the automobile world. Of these original automobile masterpieces include the works of Ercole Spada. Some of his most remarkable designs include the Alfa Romeo TZ1, Aston Martin DB4 Zagato and the Lamborghini GTV. As a progressive designer Spada continues to push the envelope, and upon forging a partnership with son Paolo, the father son duo has created what potentially is the most unique visual excersize to come out of Turin, Italy.

The Codatronca is a revival of the original philosophy that inspired Ercole Spada's past designs. A perfect combination of functional aestetics and racing performance. "Any automobile historian or enthusiast can see that the Codatronca is an ode to the original Alfa Romeo TZ1 and TZ2 designed by Spada," says Scott Levinsohn co-founder of Supercar Weekend. Depending on clients specifications the Codatronca can be ordered with the ability to run on green E85 flex/fuel. In this specification the aluminum V8 is capable of over 630 horsepower and 668 lbs ft of torque which equate to a remarkable 3.4 second 0-100kmh time.

The fourth annual Supercar Weekend, will take place in Palm Beach January 23-25 2009. The main event will be held along the West Palm Beach waterfront where over 500 Supercars along with the Codatronca will be on display for the public Saturday January 24th on Flagler Drive. Supercar Weekend is the worlds largest supercar event and the only one of its kind.

 

Looks like a modern-day interpretation of a Stingray Vette front end with a Jaguar D-type rear. In the sketches it doesn't look too awful, but I'll be waiting to see pics of the real thing before I really speak my mind.

 

It was displayed at Monaco Top Marques to rave reviews. I have heard that the quality and finish its spectacular.

Guess we will see when it arrives at the port sometime in January!

 

Nice Design I like it

 

Alzilla, you got that one exactly right. Your definition of a Stingray front and a Jaguar rear is very true.
