@ Fangio Man: Yeah, I've heard of the Alfa Romeo B.A.Ts, only 3 were ever built, designated B.A.T 5, 7, &9, weird looking cars. ;)

Anyone heard of the 1952 Alfa Romeo Disco Volante prototype or Alfas "Batmobiles"(LOL)?

The old Disco Volante was an excellent looking car with a topspeed of 225 km/h.
It started at several races but only won one of them (Grand Prix Supercortemaggiore).

@Fastestlaps
Could you have a look at this car, please?

It was already added.
But I gave more data.

Sorry.

Before I added it, I had searched it on Fastestlaps.
I typed in "Alfa Romeo Disco Volante".
No results.
So I added this car.

I did not know that it was already added under another name.

@ Fangio Man: LOL I think that's why it has an Italian name, that, and the car is Italian. That's the only thing I don't like about the English language, some words that sound beautiful in another language sound silly in English, on the other hand, I know a lot of silly English words that sound even sillier in Spanish example: Duck in Spanish; Pato. :D
