Its nice and sleek, but not something I would drive. I know its a concept and all, but I've seen more doable ones.

It's sleek, but nothing groundbreaking.

Somewhat Saturn-Sky-ish from some angles.

The beauty in this design to me is the same as the beauty in most Italian car designs. It's the PROPORTIONS. Italian designers just "get it" where proportion is concerned and when you've got that down then the lines and details just seem to fall into place. But the details that are there, like the design of the wheels, are just exquisite.

can the name get any longer???

since it's a concept, they haven't decided where to put the headlights, unless those lamps are the headlights?

Looks like a BMW Z8.

It's cheating if you don't need to incorporate a top of some kind in your design.

Or you could just go with that nonsense that the Porsche Boxster Spyder calls a top...

It's a concept car (with all the unpractical/illegal aspects), and a beautiful car. Although there are hints of other cars in the design, this one stands out nicely.

I really hope that Alfa Romeo can make a US come back. The cars are so beautiful. Its an older brand than Ferrari and has a old race history. They need a new direction and a better global sales plan

It's gorgeous. Making something so simple and beautiful is very hard to do.

I love the look of this concept. Hopefully they eventually build something close to it.
