It can complete the 0-62mph (100km/h) sprint in less than 5 seconds and reach a top speed of 155mph (250km/h). Production is set to start in 2012.

Bertone Alfa Romeo B.A.T. 11 Concept Based on the Alfa 8c Competizione

Italian car styling and coachbuilding house Bertone has released a sketch previewing a new Alfa Romeo sports coupe concept based on the Alfa 8c Competizione platform and mechanics. The concept revives the stunning Alfa Romeo B.A.T. (Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica or aerodynamic technical Berlinetta in plain English) prototypes that Bertone produced back in the 50’s (BAT 5 in 1953, BAT 7 in 1954, and BAT 9 in 1955). -Continued after the jump

Design Proposition: Alfa Romeo Fascino

The Alfa Romeo Fascino is a three-seater sports car (the driver sits in the middle), designed by Om Suthar, a graduate from Coventry University.

Om also supports that, “the concept is targeted to wealthy and famous customers, always looking for original vehicles to stand out from the crowd”. And we thought sports cars were designed and engineered for hardcore petrol headed drivers, duh… Conclusively and even though the Fascino's overall shape kinda brings the words "Bugatti Veyron" into our heads, we find Om's approach on a semi-futuristic Alfa Romeo badged sports car quite refreshening. -Continued after the jump
