Making of the Disco Volante Touring



The Disco Volante Touring is manufactured of a lightweight body: hand-beating aluminium panels are combined with the use of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) as the result of a study conducted to define optimal use of materials for the bodywork in terms of weight, resistance, precision, finish and quality, and ease of repair in case of damage.

Disco Volante Touring



The Disco Volante is a two-seater Gran Turismo. It is based on the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione coupé with its front-central mounted 4.7 litre V8 engine and a transaxle rear drive with unmodified specifications.

Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale.



The TZ3 program managed by Zagato to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Alfa Romeo (1910-2010) ended with the delivery of the TZ3 Stradale.
The initiative started in 2009 with the manufacturing of the “one off” TZ3 Corsa which won the Villa D’Este Design Concept Award in 2010 and followed with nine (9) TZ3 Stradale.
The TZ3 Stradale is a tribute to the Alfa Romeo and Zagato street legal heritage. Just 9 examples in the world.
The TZ3 Stradale celebrates the road legal heritage of Alfa Romeo Zagatos RL SS, 6C 1500,6C 1750,8C 2300 and 8C 2900 Zagato in the 20s and 30s, 6C 2500 Panoramica, 1900 SSZ and the Giulietta SVZ in the 40s and 50s, SZ, 2600 SZ, Giulia TZ and Junior Z in the 60s and 70s, S.Z. and R.Z. in the 80s and 90s.
The TZ3 Stradale is based on the "King of the Ring" Viper ACR mechanical chassis with a carbon fibre body. “Bellezza necessaria” is the inspiration of this car which matches for the first time an USA power train and can represent the first American Alfa Romeo.
The first TZ3 Stradale has been delivered to the US Alfa Romeo and Zagato collector (and Saratoga Automobile Museum’s board member) Eric King. The TZ3 Stradale n°2 and n°3 will be delivered in Japan and Europe.
TZ3 Stradale boast a typical Kamm-tail (K-tail) layout. This solution became famous in Italy with the “Coda Tronca” bodies which were tested by Zagato in the beginning of the 60s. They reached their apex on the Alfa Romeo TZ and TZ2.
Kamm Effect is part of the functional design approach that aims to the aerodynamic efficiency. According to this, the CX can be lowered by keeping compact volumes at the same time. The reduction of the wind resistance is assured with the Kamm Tail design, without any need of a very stretched “drop” shape of the tail.
