Default Geneva: Touring Superlaggera Disco Volante is a stunning labor of love

Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Geneva Motor Show, Europe, Alfa Romeo, Design/Style, Luxury


If there's one thing Italian coachbuilders are good for, it's turning out lust-worthy pieces of machinery. Touring Superlaggera pulled the sheets back on its very own effort in that category with the Disco Volante. The Alfa Romeo 8C-based creation, which was shown last year as a design study, bowed at this year's Geneva Motor Show and was inspired by none other than the 1952 Alfa Romeo C52 Disco Volante. With the Alfa 8C's 444-horsepower 4.7-liter V8 lurking under that aluminum and carbon fiber bodywork, this modern take on the classic should have no trouble hustling down your favorite Italian Alpine pass.

Looks worth every second.Continue reading Touring Superlaggera Disco Volante is a stunning labor of love
