Italian coachbuilder, <\/span>Carrozzeria Touring Superleggera<\/span><\/a>, has been in the business since 1926 and they have big plans to celebrate their 95th anniversary.

According to <\/span>MotorAuthority<\/span><\/a>, the Milan-based company is said to be releasing a two-seater with a mid-engine – the first-ever mid-engine vehicle to come from the coachbuilder. The new car will likely be based on an Italian car.
