ALFA ROMEO IS ready with the Geneva bomb – an unbelievable beautiful GT, designed by ItalDesign and powered by a V8 that displaces “more than 4000 cc”.
The Alfa Romeo 'proposition' is for a top class Gran Turismo banking on an all-new Alfa Romeo V8 powerplant that displaces “more than 4000cc” and is due to effortlessly deliver some 400 HP or more.
The engine sits in mid-front position, according a classic front-engine-rear-wheel-drive racing type layout, with the engine moved towards the centre of the car to balance weight distribution on front and rear axle.
The body architecture is that of a classic 2+2 seater configuration, where the rear 2 seats are nominal and good enough to take two children to school…on Sundays.
The latest show car from ItalDesign is based on a racing type chassis with the bodywork entirely made of carbon fibre composite. The interior design, still being finalised, is said to be up to the highest standards of the house of creative design.
