88 th INTERNATIONAL GENEVA MOTOR SHOW: TOURING SUPERLEGGERA PRESENTS TOURING Sciàdipersia

Touring Superleggera at the 88 th #Geneva Motor Show

At the #Geneva Motor Show Touring presents a new limited edition custom-built car, an innovative interpretation of the gran turismo theme: a car designed for long journeys, where the passengers derive as much pleasure from the journey as the driver. #touringsuperleggera again confirms itself as a paragon of Italian #design, and a master of the fuoriserie, offering a large, powerful, luxurious car, but cleverly designed to disguise its size, demonstrating that mastery of #design and craftsmanship can lighten the appearance, adding an ethereal, diaphanous quality. As it often happens, it was an admirer of Touring Superleggera's portfolio who commissioned the creation of this new model; a car designed to cover long distance with complete ease and in total comfort. Sciàdipersia is a coach built four seater, to be built in maximum ten examples, each intended for the most discerning customers, who appreciate luxury and value their time. Time to indulge in savouring the journey.

Design Touring Superleggera's style is renowned for its perfect proportions, and in the Sciàdipersia the line is that of a quintessential gran turismo, with flowing, elongated shapes that slip effortlessly through the air. In complete contrast to the current trend, Touring has adopted graceful proportions, that hint at a subtle haughty elegance, regal in every sense, exuding dynamism without aggression. Distinctive, refined, svelte, subtle and classy all define Sciàdipersia. The surface treatments portray an arrow about to be loosed from a bow, with a sharp front and a suggestion of the fletches at the rear. “The absence of visible support structures allows light to flood the cabin, allowing a total involvement with the surrounding environment, making the journey not only comfortable, but exciting, satisfying, absolute,” says Louis de Fabribeckers, Head of #design.

Heritage Touring Sciàdipersia celebrates the sixtieth anniversary of the bespoke coachwork designed by Touring in 1958 on the Maserati 5000GT rolling chassis for the ruler of Iran, a demanding and astute collector of fine motorcars, and nicknamed after him. For such a man a grand #design of regal elegance was commissioned, and then as now, the client consented to a very limited production run, resulting in three cars.
