At the Top Marques in Montecarlo on April 24, Damon Hill revealed the Spada Codatronca TS (elected “Most beautiful car of the show” by the New York Times) and now limited production has kicked off. For the occasion La Spada Vetture Sport is publishing the first official shots and technical details of this supercar, anything but conventional.

The car is equipped with a 7.0 V8 in alluminium with E85, and 630 hp. It has an output of 668 Nm at 4,800 revs and crazy performance - 0-100 km/hr in 3.4 seconds and a maximum speed of 340 km/h. Traction can be regulated in three different modes and included is a sophisticated information system capable of holding up to 80 hours of data.

The chassis is a light allumium with composite material for the bodywork. Adjustable suspension, anti-roll, and 19-inch wheels at 380 mm (with eight calipers) on the front and 355 mm (four calipers) on the rear complete the package. Length is 4659 mm, width 1942 mm and height at 1235mm, and the weight is 1360 kg.
