Alfa Romeo Torpedino accident

Fast as a torpedo and was still hit

Historical background

The Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Torpedino from 1940 is a masterpiece of Italian automotive art. With its elegant, streamlined torpedo shaped body and powerful 2.5-liter six-cylinder engine with 110 hp, this model embodies sporty elegance and technical excellence. This model is a coveted collector’s item and a historical gem.

Modern technology for originality

State-of-the-art technology was used to restore this collector’s item to its original condition in the best possible way. The intact side of the vehicle was scanned and digitized. Based on this, the fender was mirrored in a CAD file to produce a wooden mold for the damaged side. This served as a hammering form for the subsequent production of replacement parts.

Back to original

First of all, using a hydraulic press the damaged body side was reshaped to as close to the original as possible. The fender was then dismantled and a partial replacement was made for the damaged structures underneath. The damaged part of the aluminum outer skin was then reproduced with the help of the hammering form.

Reproduction of the outer skin

The aluminum partial replacement was integrated into the existing bodywork and then aligned and finished. This created a flawless surface that could then be painted.
