Nothing comical

We said the CodaTronca looked like a comic book hero's ride, Spada says no

Spada CodaTronca

Remember the Spada CodaTronca we showed you some time ago?

We rather casually remarked on its resemblance to the Batmobile. Maybe it was the swooping lines and the sinister dark paintjob, and the fact it looked like something a comic book hero would blast around a grungy Gotham city while fighting evil with his free hand.
 
Seems the chaps at Spada have responded to our superhero musings, with this video. It shows the car in resplendent CGI form, blatting noisily around a sci-fi city with big captions showing how wrong we were. “This is not Batmobile!” It says. “This is not Gotham City. This is CadaTronca!”
 
Funny, that. We could have sworn it was Basingstoke. And is that Robin in the passenger seat?

That's a funny way to launch a car vid by saying what it's not. They must have got really tired of people saying it looked like the Batmobile (TG we're looking at you!)

Cool - lets say it´s not the Batmobile - yet!!! They could use it easy in the next sequel. That would be a fun answer and great marketing for the CodaTronca
