The maker’s only sports car of this kind with a one-off bodywork by Touring of Milan. The car’s biconvex profile and flattened shape resemble the wing of an aeroplane.
Later on Alfa Romeo built 10 or so racing-cars mounting 2-, 3- and 3.5-litre engines derived from this experimental prototype, one of which, the 6C 3000 CM, took Manuel Juan Fangio to second place in the 1953 Mille Miglia.
Fangio was also at the wheel of a similar model when he won the 1st Supercortemaggiore Grand Prix held at Merano the same year.
The unique 3.5-liter car is preserved in the Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile in Turin; two 2.0-liter prototypes are preserved in the Alfa Romeo museum in Arese and are regularly used in classic car races. Estimated value of each is between 1 and 2 million Euro.
A bronze sculpture inspired by the Disco Volante was revealed in the Fiera Milano for the 100 Years of Alfa Romeo in Summer 2010.
