It looks like 6C 2500 SS 'Ala Spessa' (Thick Wing) by Touring Superleggera from around 1939 or later, but could this be perhaps a recreation/replica? I'm not sure if the original models survived to this day.

Edit: let's call it so, until more information surfaces about its authenticity.

It is very likely a recreation, but I wonder what was it based on? Perhaps based on another AR chassis?

The metal plate inside the cockpit reads this :

Is that an actual chassis number or just something related to A.S.I (Automotoclub Storico Italiano), like the serial number of the issued plate or something like that? No results for '11253' were found online, at least relating to this car. Furthermore, I've noticed that chassis numbers of 6C 2500's from 1939 or 1940 have 6 digits (they mostly they start with a '9').

Dino Cognolato seems to be a renowned and well known restorer and not just exclusively for Alfa Romeo.

That's just an ASI number as you say. I thought from the beginning that this is a recreation with some liberties ("restomod" but built from the ground up) but haven't researched. Right about the chassis# too, they start with 8 or 9 Link to "www.alfabb.com"

A replica of a similar, and I think prettier, version of the 6C 2500 CC Spider Corsa, was sold by RM Sotheby's auction to an online bidder for $302,000 in August-2022. From their website:

"According to Angelo Tito Anselmi’s book on the 6C 2500, four cars were originally produced by Carrozzeria Touring to their especially light, dramatic, and appealingly unadorned Spider Corsa design on the competition Tipo 256 version of the 6C 2500 SS, of which the first was the original chassis number 915024. Known as the Torpedino, this car raced for Alfa Corse for the first time at the Targa Abruzzo on 15 August 1939, and with a stylishly dressed Ferdinando Righetti at the wheel, claimed victory. Three more cars with similarly full-figured coachwork then followed for the Alfa Romeo factory team for the 1940 Mille Miglia. Unfortunately none of the original Spider Corsa quartet is known to have survived to the present day, although their influence was long-lasting—inspiring later designs on roadgoing 6C 2500s postwar and the famous Touring-bodied BMW 328s of Mille Miglia renown.

The car offered here is recorded in John de Boer’s The Italian Car Registry as a replica with the same chassis and engine numbers as the lost original Spider Corsa, “bodied in spring, 1989 in Piemonte.” The construction is largely faithful to the original Touring design, differing only in its details. At the time that the Registry was published in 1994, the car was in the ownership of the Fromo Corporation of Japan, which also owned and restored several other significant performance automobiles in this era. It is believed to have been part of the present collection since the early 1990s, and has been largely unshown in that time. The presentation throughout is very tidy and attractive, with comfortable red leather bucket seats, and the engine, equipped with a trio of Weber Tipo 36 carburetors, beckons with the offering of considerable power."
