Last night, we lost Ercole Spada, and with him, one of the sharpest pencils ever to sketch an Alfa Romeo.
From the featherlight Giulia TZ to the radical Junior Z, from the elegant 2600 SZ to the angular 155, Ercole Spada designed cars that were destined to become memorable Alfa Romeo silhouettes.
At Zagato, he redefined what it meant to slip victoriously through air with the TZ/TZ2 pair. At IDEA Institute he helped shaping the 155, a road car born of clean lines and aerodynamic logic that would go on to dominate DTM with the Alfa Corse development.
That’s the Spada paradox: his work was maybe understated, but it definitely left its mark. No flamboyance, just velocity, drawn with restraint.
He never chased fame in his private life either, he just kept working. And somehow, he always made Alfa look fast even when it stood still.
Grazie Maestro for drawing the wind, for shaping our dreams and for giving the Biscione its edge!
