Spirit Evocation, Tubolare Transaxale V6.

I think you've got the car there, yes!  It seems to be called Spirito Tubolare Evolution, which is to say it's a modern interpretation of the Alfa TZ2.
It is based on another car's floorpan etc though; can you tell me which one?

Floorpan isn't the right term, is it? It's based on a self CAD generated tubular frame (-> tubolare). As far as I understand there are (will be?) two possible engines available : an Alfa 75 V6 3,0 liter (-> transaxle) with 190 HP or an Alfa Romeo 147 3,2 liter with 250 HP.

Exccept I don't think it is Tubolare construction, because as I understand it the car is based on another (production) car's floorpan!

It's only an evocation of the Tubolare Zagato, which I think refers to its appearance but not its construction.

This is as I understand it, but of course you are welcome to prove me wrong!

Yes, thanks for that and for those great pictures on the site.
This is obviously the truth and the forum where I got my info from is clearly misleading (it stated the car was Fiat Coupe Turbo-based!)

So a well-deserved point for you!

Has anyone got any idea who actually made this TZ2 replica please? Thanks.
