Bruce Wayne's loaded, so this really is a perfect fit. The Spada Codatronca made its formal debut at Top Marques in Monaco, which is appropriate since the principality's wealthy residents are the type of clientele SpadaVettureSport will surely be courting when the coachbuilt supercar goes into production. The first flavor to arrive will be the 600-horsepower TS, which will also be available with a flex-fuel mod that allows the car to run on E85. SVS notes that the car will comply with FIA GT1 regulations, too -- can you imagine how wicked a race-prepped version would look?

From the photos, the TS Codatronca looks to be exceedingly well turned-out, especially inside where specialty rides like this can quickly devolve into kit-cardom (see the cabin of the Weber "faster one" sports car for an example). SVS has partnered with a laundry list of big names like Alcantara, Sparco, Aznom, Pirelli, and O.Z. Racing, who will supply various parts for the stealthy-looking sports car. Hopefully, they have someone lined up to furnish these, too. You know... to talk to Commissioner Gordon.

Now that is a hot car... unfortunately for me, what I like about it is how it reminds me of one of my 'must own before I die' cars, a Stingray Corvette

I DOES kinda look like a Stingray... from the front. The rich man's Batmobile?!?!W?!?!T?!?!F!?! The original Batmobile doesn't cost enough?!

Sorry but I gotta disagree ElZorro... it looks like a giant Hot Wheels toy - and not in a good way, either. Agree with Colin - do not want.

Yeah, it is nice but that rear end is crap-lousy!

I still like this bat mobile the best:

Its funny you say that about the giant hotwheel car... thats how the Stingray design was revealed to the public. Hotwheels put out their version two weeks before the car was revealed to the public.

Gotta go with Colin and Alan on this one.

Absolute fail.

[Libra Monkee]

Ew! I didn't notice that before.

Love the front... they need to overhaul the back though!
