The Alfa Romeo Disco Volante (1900 C52) is a series of experimental sports racing cars produced between 1952 and 1953 in collaboration with Carrozzeria Touring. They were available as a 2-door coupe and spider with rear-wheel drive and the engine located in the front. The car featured an aerodynamic body tested in a wind tunnel.

The car was powered by a 2-litre I4 engine with 158 hp (116 kW), mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox. This, combined with aerodynamic shape, allowed it to reach a speed of 220 km/h (220 mph). In addition to this motorisation, a version witha 3.5-litre engine with230 hp (169 kW) was also produced, allowing a speed of 240 km/h (240 mph). Only 5 examples were produced in total.
