Flying Saucer

Following the introduction of the full-scale styling model in 2012, Touring Superleggera is proud to present the first production model of the iconic Disco Volante at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.

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.
