The story of the Alfa Romeo 1900 C52 "Disco Volante" flying saucer.
The story of the Alfa Romeo 1900 C52 "Disco Volante" flying saucer.
The flying saucer might not seem like a very flattering nickname for a car. But if you just take the Italian name, it looks completely different. In the case of the extraordinary Alfa Romeo Disco Volante, it is actually an honorary title.
Alfa Romeo 1900 C52 “Disco Volante” is the full name for this charismatic car. But as it is with nicknames, they are used more often than all the official names.
The story of the flying saucer begins in 1952. Alfa development manager Orazio Satta Puliga and designer Carlo Chiti were commissioned to develop a racing car for the sports car class, using the Alfa Romeo 1900 as the basis for the new car. Together with Carrozzeria Touring they created one of the most exciting and wildest models in the history of the Italian brand.

    Lets be honest this was a 1967 Mustang, and by that time there was nothing innovative about this Mustang. It was not powerful with 320hp. A stout Chevy 327 will put out more than that. With most big block performance cars of that time somewhere close to 400hp. Give one to Shelby and it would have be a different animal. Mustang was always an affordable car, and if you wanted to scare the neighbors you had to spend more. A 396 Camaro or if you knew the right dealer a 427 Camaro would make this Mustang piss its pants. Dodge would give you 320 BHP with a 318, and 425 BHP with a Hemi in the Charger. Step up to the Corvette and you got independent rear suspension and 435HP from a 427 in a fiberglass shell. A car that could hang in there with the Shelby Cobra's on the track, but just could not edge them out. However most people never got to see a real Cobra, as Shelby could not build them like the big factories could. As your just reading the Car and Driver report for your AI voice over, I suspect you were not there to see these cars, as some of us were. Trust me the legend of the Mustang was sales numbers not performance. That's not to say some guys took mustangs to the next level in the garage at home, because they did. Hot Mustangs did not exist, they did, but with added cams, intakes and headers. Heck plaining heads or head swaps to up compression made some real monsters. If you put 400+ hp in a Mustang with the right gears it was quick as hell, but that was not how they came from the Ford Dealers most of the time.

    A former buddy had one of these. Same color too. I got an 81 vette, with a blown motor. I built the motor and while I was working on it hickey was always saying how bad he was going to beat me. I spanked that boy hard, then told him he better get his daddy to build him another motor. He tried to lie and say he won but his girlfriend Missy wouldn't let him. He wanted to go on the interstate and go from a 60mph rolling start. That didn't happen as he shotgunnend me going up the entrance ramp to the interstate. I was in front of him before we made it to the interstate. He said he would get me from a red light after that, ironically 2 days later I'm sitting at a red light and hickey pulls up beside me, I busted his ass again. After that he started stealing from me and I didn't want anything else to do with him. Hope you read this Scott.
