Extreme Spada roadster revealed

One of the stars of the Top Marques show in Monaco will be the rare Spada Codatronca Monza.

The Spada Codatronca Monza will be revealed officially later this month at the Top Marques show in Monaco, but pictures of the finished car have leaked out.

Using a Corvette Z06 7.0-litre V8 engine, the Monza is an open-top roadster version of Spada's low-volume production coupé. Designed by company boss Ercole Spada, the Monza comes with twin superchargers to take power to about 700hp.

The leaked images show the Monza will come with a cut-down Perspex screen and twin headrest humps to give the Monza a much more aggressive look than the coupé model.

Aimed at wealthy trackday enthusiasts, the Monza is expected to cost from around €400,000. It will have a 0-100km/h time of about three seconds and top speed is reckoned to be 340km/h, which will be more than fast enough in a car without a roof.
