Pricing is yet to be announced, but considering the Coupé was £500,000, you can expect something in that ballpark. That acceleration s more than enough for something that, lets be honest, would be right at home as an exhibit in the Louvre as it would driving along the French Riviera.

Mechanically identical to its Coupé stablemate, now available sans roof. The Alfa Romeo Disco Volante Spyder – possibly the most evocative (and longest) names in motoring and definitely one of the more beautiful modern cars around.
