<< Prev Page 2 of 2  Just like 60 years ago, Touring Superleggera opted for one of Alfa Romeo's finest sports chassis. The 8C Competizione Spider, chosen for its light yet rigid structure and outstanding dynamic properties, is the perfect basis to receive the totally new, coach-built bodywork, whilst maintaining the rolling chassis, the drivetrain, the electric and electronics systems.The compact front-central 4.7 litre, 450 HP V8 engine coupled to a sequential paddle-shift transaxle gearbox and rear wheel drive layout offers an optimal weight distribution of 49-51% between the front and rear axles. Top class suspensions feature front and rear double-wishbones combined with aluminium forged hub carriers , and additional trailing arms for the rear suspension. This light, stiff and powerful package provides stunning performance together with precise, dynamic and proactive drive. Touring's philosophy of personal commissioning requires that every facet of your Disco Volante Spyder is dictated by your individual taste. This includes materials, colours, appearance, seats, panels and trim. From the brightwork to the diode lighting, redesigning instruments, controls and inner panels, mastering the noblest materials and colours, our designers conceptualise every detail to create your own, singular atmosphere. Touring Superleggera is synonymous with the manufacture of lightweight bodywork. Nowadays, the art of hand-beaten aluminium panels is extensively combined with the use of carbon fibre, as this technology eventually satisfies the high level of quality Touring requires, while providing significant weight advantages. The single-piece windscreen frame and the cross roll-bar member are made from structural carbon fibre giving crucial torsional stiffness advantages and saving weight in the upper section of the car, where it is most beneficial for performance. Carbon fibre is also used for the front bumper and grille, bonnet, skirts and boot lid. Both bonnet and boot lid are sandwich-built with Nomex fillers to obtain a better stiffness/weight ratio and dampen vibrations and noise. The entire manufacturing process is fully documented and digitally logged, to guarantee consistent quality levels and accurate replicability. Touring's test protocols demands compliance to high standard in interstice and surface alignment, paint and coating quality, interior trim and assembly. Dynamic tests on proving grounds concentrate on high-speed runs, cornering, braking and other handling trials on several surface types. As a descendant of many legendary Alfa Romeo high performance cars, the Disco Volante Spyder proudly bears the Biscione emblem. << Prev Page 2 of 2 |
