Study in Scarlet – An experiment/study to recreate the spirit of the original Alfa Romeo Disco Volante from 1952 based on a modern day package and dimensions. For the purpose the wheelbase and overall dimensions from Ferrari F12 Berlinetta were used (keeping it all within Fiat Group) and a new modern body was created. The main challenge was to find a good balance between the iconic features from the past and execute them in a modern way – the car was neither to look like a restomod or retro inspired cyberpunk design. While still being an experiment, this project realistic and can be executed as one-off based on the donor car.
