![Bugatti Bird-gate Followup: Driver identity revealed <b>[*UPDATE:</b> Now with actual crash video!]](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/11/bugatti-veyron-swim-1258147199_143x85.jpg)
Unreal: Spada Codatronca headed for production
Click above for a high-res gallery of the Spada Codatronca concept.
We knew it was true, but we still can't believe it. The Spada Codatronca is slated for production, with 20 examples due to be built in the near future and priced somewhere north of £200,000. As reported previously, the Dark Knight's weekend driver is packing a supercharged LS7 V8, producing 600 hp in "entry-level" TS guise and can be upgraded to a track-ready version producing 700 hp and dropping 0-60 times to a mind-boggling 2.7 seconds. Unfortunately, we've yet to see any photos of the "production" version that was unveiled at the Top Marques show this past weekend, so we'll just have to wait and see if the sinister sled makes a successful transition from concept to production.

There are some details that are interesting on their own, but overall, this thing is way disjointed, and ugly.
good luck selling that albatross.

The front looks like a modern iteration of the stingray corvette. Sexy as hell.

Yes, I love the front.
But the rear is a design exercise in ugliness.
Duders 5:24PM (4/29/2008)
Definitely. I love the front but cannot stand the rear. The "hips" it seems to have look terrible from the front. And the rear fin thing jutting out ruins the bodys flow.

i like it, it's uglier then the murci but also looks cohesive enough to stand on it's own, and the interior’s pretty nice to boot. bring it, esp if the numbers are right.

Hmm...love the front, absolutely hate the station wagon-esque back. Now if they were to pinch the back in (to reduce the station wagon likeness) this would be one nice looking car.
I wish them well though.

Performance aside, I just do not see the appeal of this car. It just doesn't work for me. It is unique though

a little bit of a futuristic stingray front-end with a bit of mark II colonial viper in the read-end.
