01 / THE STORY

History & context

The Stanguellini 1100 TV Spider Cheetah stands as a testament to the collaborative brilliance of designer Franco Scaglione and coachbuilder Bertone, echoing the iconic Alfa Romeo B.A.T. Series that bore the same artistic lineage. This unique spider, a variant of the original Coupé crafted by Bertone and envisioned by Scaglione, captures the essence of automotive artistry with its distinctive features. Drawing parallels to the famed B.A.T. Series, the Stanguellini Cheetah showcases a harmonious blend of Scaglione’s design finesse and Bertone’s masterful craftsmanship. The sleek and compact body is adorned with neat, little tail fins, reminiscent of the aerodynamic enhancements seen in the B.A.T. cars. The integration of headlights seamlessly into the grille, coupled with the fastback styling, further underscores the shared design DNA. One cannot overlook the split rear window, a design element that bridges the Stanguellini 1100 TV Spider Cheetah with its B.A.T. predecessors. This distinctive feature not only adds to the car’s aesthetic allure but also pays homage to the iconic styling choices made by Scaglione and Bertone in the past. The Cheetah is a captivating testament to the enduring legacy of automotive design excellence. The collaboration between Scaglione and Bertone, evident in the common themes shared with the B.A.T. Series, elevates this spider to a realm of timeless beauty and innovation, where each curve and contour tells a story of creativity and craftsmanship.
