Author Topic: New Alfa Romeo for PhilO. (Read 681 times)

The Alfa Romeo Bertone BAT 11 may have evaded your senses ( well may be any sense ) when it made an off-site debut at the Geneva Auto Show last March ?
The beautifully-designed ( not my words ) super car was revealed today at the press event ahead of this weekend's 2008 Meadow Brook Concours D'Elegance.

What's most impressive about this already amazing-to-look-at design concept is it's actually being considered for very limited production run

It's built on the same platform as the beautiful Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione !

Anyway if your dinner has fully digested click below for more pictures :

It does actually... or maybe a crap transformer, the kinda one that only appears in 1 cartoon episode then 'dies'...

No doubt Phillis will think its amazing and beautiful and 'sexy' though

Front and Back are quite nice, not fond of the side profile though...

Nope, now looked at all the pics and I still don't like it

fugly.. i'm willing to bet that was more a bertone concept than an alfa one..

this is the next model alfa are bringing out, the utterly stunning 169 (the replacement for my car, the 166)

That looks nicer than your current one... shame you can't afford it

I calculate that if he actually sold his back stock of motors, plus his current one, waited one year for the depreciation to kick in, it'll be his.....

consider this..... my car was just over £30k in '99

by 2000 it was worth £13k.. figure the 169 will be about £36k, in 2 years it should be £10k or less...

yer not far off there... sadly the road tax will absolutely destroy their values..

Had a look round the Alpha stand at the Motorshow... cars were so so

But oh my god! The Girls were definitely the best in show!!

I think the Peugeot girls came second.

And no I didn't manage to get any sneeky pics...
