Officine Fioravanti has done what Alfa should've done from the start—fitted a proper manual to the modern Disco Volante, the 2000s homage to Touring's aerodynamic masterpiece. It's the difference between owning a car and piloting one. Values on these have been creeping up; a manual example will only accelerate that trajectory.

Officine Fioravanti has done what Alfa Romeo wouldn't—dropped a manual into the modern Disco Volante to mark Touring's centennial. It's a 2000s revival that gets the transmission question right, because some cars demand three pedals regardless of what the spreadsheet says.

Alfa's dropping a special edition Giulia Quadrifoglio, but don't mistake this for a swan song. The 505-hp 2.9L twin-turbo V6 sedan is already rare enough on European roads; this variant will be scarcer still. Values on clean examples have been climbing steadily as enthusiasts finally recognize what Alfa engineered here.
