Alfa Romeo Vola

The Alfa Romeo Vola is a concept car designed by Leonardo Fioravanti of Pininfarina. Most interesting feature is a rotating glass roof, designed by Fioravanti. The deck lid hinges are concentric with the top, so the entire trunk volume is available and accessible, top up or down. The same idea was later used in Ferrari Superamerica from 2005, also designed in Pininfarina. Originally livered in black, Vola shown at the 2005 Geneva Motorshow with a coat of red paint.
