Spada
Codatronca TS
The
bizarrely styled Spada Codatronca TS was developed by Italian design house
Spadaconcept, and is built by another Italian company, Spadavetturesport.
Although Spadavetturesport (SVS) was setup by the same people who founded Spadaconcept
so it's a little confusing.
The
design of the Spada Codatronca TS was influenced by the styling of the 1965
Alfa Romeo TZ, it also featured a high centre spine running to the rear of the
car, the feature was called the "Kamm tail coda tronca" design -
hence the new cars name.
The
base for the Spada Codatronca TS is the Chevrolet Corvette. Spadavetturesport
perform the transformation and fit the Codatronca TS with a 630 horsepower 7.0
litre V8 sourced from GM. This engine also delivers 668 Nm of torque at 4,800
rpm. The transmission is handled by a close-ratio 6-speed manual gearbox.
A
3-mode traction control system helps keep the car on the road. Although if you
feel you're up to the challenge it can be knocked off completely.
For
drivers who want to hone their skills on the track, the Codatronca is fitted
with a data acquisition system that can record 80 hours of telemetry across 40
different variables including; steering angle, g-force meter, individual tire
speed, lap timer and gps tracker. Although if you had a car like this and were
obsessed with analyzing and correlating the steering angle and the tire speed
it should be legal to remove it from your possession.
The
striking bodywork of the Spada Codatronca TS is modeled after stealth aircraft
and is built entirely from carbon fiber.
