Stola S82 Spyder

The Stola S82 Spyder, shown as the Italia S82 Spyder, was a prototype that Stola presented at the Milan Motor Show in 2001, a week after the Geneva show. It was built on the basis of the Porsche Boxster (986), with the exterior drawn by Aldo Brovarone, the retired Pininfarina chief designer who also styled Stola's 1996 Dedica and 1998 Abarth Monotipo. Stola mainly modified the Boxster's body panels and kept the original headlamps, rear lamps and interior, which would have simplified a possible limited production run. The styling took design cues from the Porsche 550 Spyder of the early 1950s. Stola raised engine output to 450 hp, giving a top speed close to 300 km/h, and fitted a Brembo racing brake system. It was the company's fourth concept car.
