Touring Superleggera – Superleggera Veloce12 Barchetta: See it on our 2025 Concept Lawn
August 17, 2025
The Superleggera Veloce12 Barchetta—where elegance meets the open air—is a tribute to Italian design, engineering heritage, and the raw thrill of manual performance.
The Superleggera Veloce12 Barchetta debuts amidst Pebble Beach Automotive Week, and it is not just a car but an experience. In a world of increasingly automated driving, the Superleggera Veloce12 Barchetta represents a return to something elemental: mechanical engagement, clean yet refined design, inspired by creative legacy and emotional connection. It’s a modern reinterpretation of a timeless concept, born from the Italian tradition of open-top performance and handcrafted excellence. The term barchetta, meaning little boat in Italian, harkens back to the postwar era of motorsport, when lightweight, open-bodied cars ruled the roads of Europe, and is nowadays synonymous with elegance, minimalism, and performance. The Superleggera Veloce12 Barchetta channels this spirit into the 21st century.
At the core of this machine lies a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter F133 V12, delivering power through an iconic open-gate six-speed manual gearbox. This pairing offers an unfiltered driving experience that connects driver and road in a way few modern cars do. The design, as with all Touring Superleggera creations, is both sculptural and functional. Every curve is purposeful, every surface an elegant expression. The body, handcrafted in Milan, reflects a commitment to purity over excess. Stripped of unnecessary technology and distractions, the cabin prioritizes driving engagement above all else. This vehicle is more than a reinterpretation — it is a reawakening.
An Unmatched Tradition of Automotive Excellence since 1950
