Alfa Romeo has consistently produced some of the
industry’s most beautiful cars throughout the decades. Even today, the Italian
marque has some great lookers in its range, none more so than the sensual
Giulia sports sedan.
Inevitably inspired by the marque’s passion for
styling and its Disco Volante from a few years ago, noted designer Alexander
Imnadze Baldini has decided to imagine what the ultimate performance car with
the cloverleaf badge could look like. There’s (likely) no chance Alfa Romeo
will ever build a car that looks like this for the road, or even the track, but
the creation does makes us particularly eager to see what the Italian marque
cooks up for its eventual successor to the stunning 8C Competizione.
At the front of Imnadze’s creation is a low fascia
and slim LED daytime running lights and headlamps that have been incorporated
subtly into the bodywork. The front of the concept also catches the eye thanks
to the bulging wheel arches and the lack of a windshield. Didn’t we mention?
This concept is a barchetta / speedster-styled model and rather than a
traditional windshield simply features a pair of small pieces of plastic to
protect the driver and passenger from the wind.
The sides of the concept are also particularly nice
to look at. A striking silver body line stretches from the front along both
sides and perfectly divides the sleek and flowing bodywork above it from the
more angular design found lower down on the sides. This more angular design
philosophy is particularly apparent with the squared-off rear wheel arches.
Both the front and sides are absolutely gorgeous and
it is a similar story at the rear where there are two round taillights, a large
diffuser, and a Formula One car-inspired rain light.
