The Alfa Romeo Vola is a concept car designed by Leonardo Fioravanti in 2000.[1] The car was presented for the first time at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show. One of its most notable features is a rotating glass roof. The deck lid hinges are concentric with the top, so the trunk access is freely available, as the open roof sits on top of the trunk lid.[2] Originally livered in black with red interior, the Vola was shown at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show with a red paint and brown upholstery.[1] The same idea was later used in the Ferrari Superamerica from 2005, also designed by Fioravanti and patented as a Revocromico roof. In 2008 the rear buttresses of the Vola were remodelled similar to the Superamerica.[3] Fioravanti also refers to the car as the "Alfa Romeo LF."
Technical specifications
The Vola is powered by a front mounted transverse 2,959 cc (180.6 cu in; 3.0 L) V6 with 2 valves per cylinder producing 192 PS (141 kW; 189 hp). The engine is paired to a 5-speed manual transmission sending power to the front wheels. Its chassis is derived from the 916 Spider.
