The bizarrely styled Spada Codatronca was styled by Italian design house Spadaconcept, and is built by another Italian company, UK Garage.

The design of the Spada Codatronca was influenced by the styling of the 1965 Alfa Romeo TZ, it also featured a high centre spine running to the rear of the car, the feature was called the "Kamm tail coda tronca" design - hence the new cars name.
