SPADA CODATRONCA MONZA
Spadaconcept
extend its Codatronca scale, launched with the TS model, by a futuristic sport
car with strong lines and shape; a car without compromise (you love it or you
hate it! No space for "nice") however it seems that this car has
inspired lot of sports car of that segment as well as production supercars,
above all in terms of front design and form language.
Spadaconcept
is a design studio-atelier founded by Ercole Spada (former designer Zagato, BMW
and IDEA institute), by Paolo Spada (ex designer smart and Honda) and Domiziano
Boschi (ex Mc Kinsey).
The
studio combines an original formula of design all over the field with a vision
from the design to the economic feasibility. This mission has brought during
these years to different creations, like the Stilo Helmets for Sebastien Loeb ,
a eco-globe award for best design of an eclectic van, boats, motorsport sport
accessories, watches. However the design studio has rooted its chromosomes in
the world of the sport cars: over the passion of the three founders for the
authentic sport cars, the pencil of Ercole Spada and Paolo Spada include among
their most important realisations one-off and sport cars.
That
is the reason why Spadaconcept returns to present a powerful car with the racing
instinct. Born by the pencil of Paolo and Ercole Spada the Spada Codatronca
Monza, a extreme Barchetta built by SpadaVettureSport s.r.l , originate from a
request of a special client deciduous of having a totally customized version of
Codatronca around his own requirements.
From
this one-off car, SpadaVettureSport is planning to let arise a small series,
making another step forward to the research of aerodynamics, lightness, and
pleasure of driving. Codatronca Monza has the same guide lines that portrayed
most of the project of Ercole Spada, like the mythical tz1 and tz2, were
characterize by the back shape called "Codatronca".
The
Codatronca Monza has mechanic and electronic components developed by
ITALTECNICA, respecting the specification of the project needs, in this way
we've obtained from the V8, in aluminium of more than 7lt with a dry pump, with
a power of 700hp at 6200 rpm, with an incredible torque of 950Nm at 4200 rpm.
The power is transmitted to the ground by the rear wheels thanks to a 6 gear
close ratio transmission with a specific range also at the 6th gear to the
limit of 7000 rpm that push the Codatronca at 340Km/h with an acceleration from
0 to 100Km/h of only 3,0 sec.
The
designers gave more importance to the pleasure of driving instead of speed
record, in the perfect style of the gentleman driver. For support that
performance, the Codatronca is fitted with a traction control on 3 level of
action that progressively excludes only the traction control and after another
push leaving the car to the bare control of its lucky owner. For a better check
of the car's data, Codatronca has an equipment that can record since 80 hours
of telemetry on track, with 40 active channel (steering angle, g meter
longitudinal and lateral, single speed for each tyre, lap timer and gps
tracking system for track trajectories and lots more) The chassis is a light
and stiff aluminium tubular with two roll bar combined for offer the maximum
protection also when it's driven on track. The bodywork is made of light and
resistant fibre that cover the chassis and the mechanics parts.
The
suspension are completely adjustable like the one of the racing cars. A big
news is represented by the possibility of set up the anti-roll bar on the front
and on the rear separately on 4 level of hardness: rain, soft, medium and hard
with an on-board regulation. In that way the wheel can work at its best and the
suspension in every condition, especially when the car is on track due to the
selection of harden or soften the axles for a perfect grip. The wheels are the
Pirelli Pzero Corsa, with size 285/35/19" for the front wheels and
345/35/19" for the back wheels. The rims are of 19" by Oz, these were
chosen to assure that the shoulder tyres transmit best the drive feelings of
this fantastic tyres. The braking system is Brembo with racing 8 pistons
aluminium callipers on the front with discs of 380mm and with 4 pistons
aluminium callipers with discs of 355mm on the rear; governed by an Abs system
of the latest generation.
The
Codatronca shape of the back gave the possibility to create a trunk, with a
suitcase set purposely made by Aznom srl.
