MrsAlfa 58 Report post Posted April 19, 2012 The new Disco Volante 2012 from Touring. The 8C transformed in 4000 man hours. The question is, why mess with perfection? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrsAlfa 58 Report post Posted April 19, 2012 Its not bad but that weird line thing going across the front wheel looks a bit, well, shit now that you mention it, doesn't it remind you of this? In the wheel area, I was thinking! Perfect place for a lot of crud to collect and rust through .... oh wait Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anjenha 44 Report post Posted April 19, 2012 It harkens back to the original, LJ. I think it's beautiful. A hand beaten body... who doesn't want that? and carbon fibre bits... but running the engine of the 8C. It's a touring, rather than a race car, which is probably the major difference between this and the Original It will sell, they will probaby make about 5 and sell them for more than they did the 8C They could use it to model future cars on though.... It's so PRETTY Gosh, how many times can you say 8C in a post Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsAlfa 58 Report post Posted April 19, 2012 Am I right in thinking the 8c has a carbon fibre body? 8c 8c 8c 8c 8c Six. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smaky 73 Report post Posted April 22, 2012 It looks like the lovechild of a Ferrari and a Citroen. It's all wrong, the lines the wheels and the chrome stripe along the length, not whorth the manhours IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smaky 73 Report post Posted April 27, 2012 BACK TO PHOTOS.... I went along today to the photoshoot of 4 special GTA 156s, Know only as the Fantastic Four (from now on) they were the Supercharged 3.2, the 3.8 monster (now on its way to S.P.A., the well once again well presented SAD concours winner 2011 and the Brands Hatch homeboy, out of respect for the magazine who hosted the meeting I shalln't post any of the cars from the feature (you all hate me now and I dont care), BUT after sampling the sound of the new McLarens as they were broken in on track (and yes I did honestly think they were Lotus' when I first saw them) we were about to leave when I spotted a car I hadn't seen since my time in Milan, the Nissan ZAGATO STELVIO hidden behind an SZ, quite possibly the most hideous thing I'd ever seen and todays reunion made me shudder as I though all 80 of them had been sacraficed to the Styling god in an appology for wasting the resources of the planet. So for your disgust I present ZAGATO STELVIO (as they say, a problem shared....) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
