Pics Aplenty: The Spada Codatronca is the rich man's Batmobile

Bruce Wayne's loaded, so this really is a perfect fit. The Spada Codatronca made its formal debut at Top Marques in Monaco, which is appropriate since the principality's wealthy residents are the type of clientele SpadaVettureSport will surely be courting when the coachbuilt supercar goes into production. The first flavor to arrive will be the 600-horsepower TS, which will also be available with a flex-fuel mod that allows the car to run on E85. SVS notes that the car will comply with FIA GT1 regulations, too -- can you imagine how wicked a race-prepped version would look?
From the photos, the TS Codatronca looks to be exceedingly well turned-out, especially inside where specialty rides like this can quickly devolve into kit-cardom (see the cabin of the Weber "faster one" sports car for an example). SVS has partnered with a laundry list of big names like Alcantara, Sparco, Aznom, Pirelli, and O.Z. Racing, who will supply various parts for the stealthy-looking sports car. Hopefully, they have someone lined up to furnish these, too. You know... to talk to Commissioner Gordon.

It's the rich man's Corvette apparently.

Agreed. Not just the rear though, that thing is so ugly it makes me irritable. To qualify to buy one of these I think you have to be a multi-millionaire in addition to retarded and/or blind.

Rich man who wants a fugly ass car maybe. Starts out Lamborghini up front and goes south from there. Rear reminds me of the Mako Shark Corvette and thats not a compliment either. I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

I see a lot of enzo in the body. Front air intakes, those rear wheel shoulders. With a big dash of C30's rear end.
It works though

Looks a little F22 inspired, less batmobile. By the way autoblog, that interior is still pretty kit-carish

Yeah...I was thinking a crossbreed of a gallardo and an F22 with a bit of stingray thrown in...blah. Didn't work out.

Ummm... Can I have the vette back? Looks like some kind of bug or something with those headlights. Those rims are horrible. I still cant believe the kind of stuff that the rich among us spend their money on. I understand that you wanna be unique, but this is just bad. And the MSRP on this is what... 100k? I think that I would take a Viper anyday. Just as much horsepower, its not something that you are going to see very often, and I wont be laughed at by every guy walking down the street. Oh, and on top of that I can avoid that "Trying to live my childhood" persona.

Does it still display your speed to the person behind you, like the mock-up did?

Or was the mental patient that designed that finally caught and sent back to his padded cell?

Heck with you guys, I like it.
The wheels in the new photos look extremely low-rent, though. The concepts had much sleeker rollers. For this kind of money, the wheels had better be big, forged and mean-looking. This set appears better suited to a customized Denali.

Hey, thats ok Will, if we all liked the same thing, life would be SO much easier! My only question is, if you had 100k in your pocket burning a hole, is this where you would put it?
Will 1:40PM (5/14/2008)
Extremely valid point, MajorGeek. My 100k would be better put toward a house than a wonky coachbuilt Corvette.
Still, in the realm of supercars, exclusivity counts more than reason-- and you know everyone would be looking at you, which is another big reason to buy one.

If I was rich (and hopefully I do become rich) I would take a Spyker over this any day

The rear looks like the one on an early 1970s Buick Riviera

I drew this car - exterior - when I was 12 in ...1973. This could be the next Avanti!

Somebody with some skill needs to photoshop some fins and " bat-decals " on this for fun.
