The Spada Codatronca (sometimes called the SVS Codatronca) is an Italian-built supercar introduced by Spada Vetture Sport in 2008. A convertible version, the Spada Codatronca Monza, was introduced in 2012. Both cars used a modified chassis and engine from the Chevrolet Corvette C6, but featured all-new bodywork.
Released in 2008, the Codatronca TS was the first car in the Spada Codatronca line, and featured styling based on that of the Alfa Romeo TZ.[1] The car uses a 7-litre Chevrolet LS7 V8 engine, but with the power output increased to 6300NaN0 at 6,500 rpm, and 6680NaN0 of torque.[2] The chassis was derived from that used by the Chevrolet Corvette C6, but featured all-new bodywork.[3] The bodywork is made from carbon-fibre, whilst the aluminium chassis features a roll cage.[2] The Codatronca TS is claimed to be able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, and reach a top speed of 3400NaN0.[2] It uses Brembo disc brakes all around; 3801NaN1 discs with eight-piston aluminium calipers at the front, and 3551NaN1 discs with four-piston aluminium calipers at the rear.[4] 19" OZ alloy wheels are fitted, and shod with Pirelli P-Zero Corsa tyres; 285/35 R19 at the front, and 345/35 R19 at the rear.[4] A more powerful TSS version was planned, but never produced.[2]
In 2011, Spada Vetture Sport announced that they would be building a convertible version of the Codatronca TS, named the Codatronca Monza.[5] The Monza used a supercharged version of the Codatronca TS' 7-litre V8, and produced a claimed 7100NaN0 and 7010NaN0 of torque.[5] The Codatronca Monza also featured the Italian Air Force roundel on the sides of the vehicle. Spada claimed that the car could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in three seconds, and reach a top speed of 2080NaN0.[5] The Codatronca Monza appeared at the 2012 Geneva Auto Show, where a competition version was also announced.[6]
