Touring Superleggera Flying Star

The Flying Star is a type of body created by Touring Superleggera introduced at the 1931 Milan Auto Show on a Isotta Fraschini 8B chassis which gained a great success. It was also adapted to other chassis maintaining the same basic settings. The trademark elements of this kind of bodywork were basically a thick chrome strip on the side that starts from the radiator, runs along the entire car forming a ‘V’ at the doors and descends on the tail.

The Alfa Romeo Soffio di Satana: Satan’s Breath

“Soffio di Satana” is the moniker coined by Eng. Anderloni, the founder of Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera, for a model of the Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 Turismo. Anderloni meticulously designed and crafted this model with a distinctive, aerodynamic, and exquisitely elegant style. During that era, it was a trend to assign demonic names to exceptionally beautiful, aggressive, and captivating cars, evoking the allure of speed and the mythical notion of the demon.
