Alfa Romeo Concept Cars. This page contains concept cars and others that had limited production. Many of them was only made in one example. This page is huge due to a lot of pictures, and with a slow phone-jack modem it will take some time to load. I did it this way because once it's loaded, it is much nicer to browse through all the cars, without having to change page.

ALFA ROMEO BELLA 1999
First shown on the Geneva motorshow in 1999, this is the "bella" which means beautiful, and it is easy to agree. Designed by Bertone and based on the Alfa 166 mechanics with the 3.0 liter V6, 166KW. This could be the coupé version of the 166. I hope it happens.

2+2, very practical. True since only 3% of travels actually uses backseat in normal 4 seat cars

ALFA ROMEO DARDO 1998
Designed by Pininfarina and based on the Alfa 156 mechanics and has the same 2.5 liter V6. Dardo meaning Dart

ALFA ROMEO SPORTUT 1997
Bertone designed this stylish 4x4 4-door SUV that it calls "Sportut." Sport-Ut is apparently SUV pronounced in afrench dialect (?).

ALFA ROMEO SCIGHERA 1997
Italdesign working concept car. Designer: Fabrizio Giugiaro, (son of Giugiaro senior, the man behind the Alfasud 1971, VW Golf 1974 and Fiat Panda 1980). Engine placed in front of rear axle, 3 liter V6, twin-turbo DOCH 24-valve producing 400 HP and 0-100 in 4.9 secs. All-wheel drive system, sequential six-speed gearbox and a weight of 1200 kg. 2 seater w removable side windows. All aluminium body fitted to a super lightweight frame made of an aluminium-carbon fibre composite material. L: 432, H: 115, W: 198 cm.

See how practical it is, all these bags will fit!

ALFA ROMEO NUVOLA 1996
Named after Tazio Nuvolari, one of the greatest racing drivers, L: 429 W: 186 (cm) and their first show-off of the engine to be placed in the 1999 introduced 166, the 24 valve 2.5 liter V6. The Novula version is a 300 hp and 0-100 in 6 secs. Was apparently withdrawn from the 1997 Turin autoshow, otherwise it would have stolen attention from Fiats new Bravo/Bravo series introduced the same year. There is a spider version as well.

Centro Stile (Zagato) Concept car, shares looks with current GTV and Spider series.

ALFA ROMEO 164 PROTÉO 1992

"ALFA ROMEO" MINARI 33 KITCAR 199?
This doesnt really belong here, but I don't know where to put it otherwise. The Minari is a kitcar that can be built on the Alfa 33 (the 83-95 33s...)

ALFA ROMEO CUNEO 1968
Is this car pre-70's or what!? It was probably as stylish as you could get. Like something brought from one of the more cheaper Bond-movies. Cool! this is one of 2 Pininfarina's designstudies based on the Type 33, the other was called "Coupé 33".

ALFA ROMEO TYPE 33 STRADALE 1967
Stradale meaning "road" in italian. This was the "production version" of the type 33 race car. Dispite an order book of 50 cars only 18 were made (including the concepts above). Pricetag of $17 000. All aluminium body, engine was a downtuned version of the racecars, a high-rev 2 liter V8 producing 250hp.

ALFA ROMEO 2000 SPORTIVA COUPÉ 1956(?)
France Scaglione of Bertone designed this car based on the Disco Volante frame. Extremely potent looking. He also designed the spider below.

ALFA ROMEO 2000 SPORTIVA SPIDER 1955(?)
Again, as the Coupé this is based on the Disco Volante frame. Also a France Scaglione of Bertone design. A unique feature for its time was the beneath-the-nose air-intake. All cars have it today...

ALFA ROMEO GIULIETTA BERTONE SPIDER 1955
What could have been... Only one built of this masterpiece by France Scaglione! Alfa Romeo finally selected the Pininfarina design for the prodoction as the Giuletta Spider during the 50's.

Each year between 1953 and 55 at the Turin Auto show, Bertone and Alfa Romeo presented a BAT concept, the BAT 5, 7 and 9. They were all based on the 1900 floorpan and where design studies for aerodynamics. The CV/CD values bacame as low as 0.19. BAT stands for Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica. From left to right: BAT9, BAT5 and BAT7.

ALFA ROMEO DISCO VOLANTE 1952
Disco Volante meaning "Flying Saucer" was based on the 1900 platform. This one is from the Alfa museum in Arese (north of Milan). It looks like this one has a hardtop. There were a number of variants, some looks really nice. I am still looking for pictures.
