The ultimate italian coachbuilder site

Spada Codatronca

The idea behind the Spada Codatronca was born from Paolo Spada together with his father Ercole Spada, the famous automotive designer who worked for Zagato for many years, creating models that have marked the history of the company such as the historic Giulietta SZ and Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ for the Italian coachbuilder. It is precisely from the aerodynamic research that Zagato made in those years, coming to adopt the truncated tail bodywork, and from the nature of those historic cars, designed mainly for competitions, the tail-tail prototype was born. This concept was unveiled to the public for the first time in April 2007 with an authorization from the FIA for the participation of the specimen in the GT1 championship, the definitive model is presented about a year later, precisely on April 24, 2008 on the occasion of the Top Marques of Monte Carlo, the specimen was presented to the public by former Formula 1 driver and champion Damon Hill. After the official presentation at the Top Marques in Monte Carlo, the New York Times elected the Codatronca TS “the most beautiful car of the show”

The interiors of the Spada Codatronca are decidedly sporty with aluminum and alcantara inserts, however being a handcrafted car and given the targeted customization possibilities provided by the manufacturer, this car does not seem to come with a single type of set-up.
