Maybe Alfa Romeo should fire its design team and hire the students of IED Torino, the European Design Institute. After penning the Gloria concept, which is said to be the base for the new Alfa Giulia, they’ve come up with this, the imaginary Alfa 6C.
This is just a design study, but it looks pretty damn cool from almost every angle. The designer says the 6C is a rival for the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. It has the same sort of size and profile as the Corvette, but being Italian, it has much drama, and style, and lust.
Being a Corvette-rival, the Alfa 6C is a front-engined, preferably a V8, rear-wheel-drive GT car. Alfa’s own attempt at making such a car, the 8C Competizione, resulted in an incredibly pretty car that was actually shocking to drive. If that’s any indication, the 6C should be even worse to drive, because it is much prettier than the 8C.
A very nice and fluent design. A little idea i think would have worked is if the side profile of the car went from the front wing and went down to halfway of the wheel size and curved around wheel arch following the existing curve to the rear. otherwise its a smashing good design. Would love to see this into production. Alfa is struggling to come out with cars without referencing the 8C design theme. Its been replicated on the Mito,, Giulietta and its getting quite boring. With all these concepts made in the last few years by various designers sand studios, Alfa should really consider using their theme to pursue cars with an individual look and feel.
