[ CODATRONCA TS ]
Un'auto sportiva costruita nello spirito e nella tradizione della "carrozzeria" italiana. Unisce caratteristiche sia racing che turistiche e rappresenta l'ultima evoluzione del concetto di coda tronca. Questa vettura porta agilità, aerodinamica e leggerezza, che sono i cromosomi delle auto di Ercole Spada e dei futuri modelli Spadaconcept. Secondo Paolo Spada, questo modello potrebbe essere l'erede dell'Alfa Romeo TZ ed è costruito in serie limitata su telaio Corvette, sul quale verrà applicata una nuova carrozzeria e sospensioni. Anche la meccanica e il motore della Corvette sono stati aggiornati con alcune soluzioni high tech da Spadaconcept e dai suoi partner tecnici.
The Codatronca TS is a car that evokes incredible emotions. A super-sports coupe, made in a semi-artisanal manner by SVS (Spada Vetture Sport). It was first presented in Italy in September 2008 at the Monza Autodromo, while the absolute preview was at the Top Marques in Monaco in April of the same year. On that occasion, Damon Hill unveiled the car, which was awarded by the New York Times as the most beautiful car in the competition.
The idea comes from the audacity of Paolo and Ercole Spada, illustrious Italian automotive designers. The name Codatronca is a dive into the past for classic car enthusiasts, a tribute to the aerodynamic competition bodies that Ercole Spada applied to models such as the Giulietta SZ and Giulia TZ during his years at Zagato and Alfa Romeo.
The Codatronca TS itself is designed starting from the imposing rear, the most distinctive part due to the tail and the central dual exhaust terminal topped by a glass hood. The lines are few and clear and define a muscular, square and angular profile. The interiors also do not betray the supersports vocation, thanks to the racing-style steering wheel and ergonomic seats. A design of great impact that combines the sports tradition with inspiration absorbed from the world of aeronautics.
From a technical standpoint, the SVS Codatronca TS is powered by a 7-liter aluminum V8 engine, capable of producing a maximum power of 630 CV at a speed of 6,500 RPM. The transmission is six-speed and the engine is capable of pushing the car up to 340 km/h and reaching 100 km/h from a standstill in just 3,4 s.
