(from Carrozzeria
Touring Superleggera Press Release) The fascinating
coachbuilding heritage of the Bianchi Alderloni family has entered
an inspired new chapter in automotive history. Hence the birth of
the actual Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera S.r.l. in Rozzano, on
the outskirts of Milan, thanks to the European holding company Zeta
Europe, owner, among many, of Ruote Borrani, Carrozzeria Touring and
Carrozzeria Granturismo trade marks. Carrozzeria Touring
Superleggera S.r.l. consists of a team of very motivated designers,
body engineers and master coachbuilders in combination with an
international management team. At the occasion of the 2008 Villa
d’Este Concours d’Elegance weekend, they are both thrilled and
honoured to unveil two of their new creations, both as a world
première.
Both projects, although
based on completely different briefings, represent contemporary
interpretations
of very important traditional Carrozzeria Touring parameters:
elegant sportiveness, quality of
design, well-thought proportions and meticolous execution.
The Bellagio Fastback
Touring forms a tribute to Maserati successful Quattroporte model.
The most
luxury Italian saloon car of the post-War period has in fact been
transformed in a sports fastback with
rear door and large loading space, to offer the market a top level
sportcar, never realized before.
The Bellagio Fastback Touring has dimensions and performance
identical to the saloon’s, it weighs
only 50 kg more and doesn’t need particular homologations. It’s the
ideal car for those who need a
high standing and perfomance car also for leasure, able to
accomodate four persons in maximum
comfort and a series of sports equipments, luggages and whatever you
need in your spare time. The
Bellagio Fastback Touring can therefore be made to measure not only
in colours, interiors and desired
accessories, but also in tailor-made solutions for its owner: spaces
for shotguns, ski, golf and all
big objects in general.
The start of the 21st century is witnessing a true renaissance of
special automotive coachbuilding and
custom automotive design. The factor of personal expression is still
of growing importance. The complexity of modern cars seems
contradictory to the profession of special coachbuilders. The
spectrum of possibilities is however fascinating and broad. It forms
a challenge for new generations of automotive designers and
engineers. Modern technologies and materials, in combination with
traditional skills and know-how, open new windows for tailor-made
high quality products. Laptops and hammers, software and steel,
laser and rulers: this is the workfloor of Carrozzeria Touring
Superleggera for 2008.
