Pininfarina’s Alfa Romeo 2uettonttanta Concept breaks cover
Pininfarina has unveiled the Alfa Romeo Spider Concept at the Geneva Motor Show. Called the 2uettonttanta the concept is a revival of the classic Alfa Romeo Duetto of the 60’s. It is strictly a 2-seater and measures 4213mm long, 1797mm wide and 1280mm high.
The design company proposes a 1750cc force-inducted engine to power the 2uettonttanta. Yes the term 1750 refers to the company’s 1750 Veloce of the 60’s. However it did not mention what kind of power figures it should have. The concept looks really sexy and its one concept that should go into production but am I the only one who thinks that it looks like a cabriolet version of Toyota’s FT-86 Concept? As always, more images can be found after the jump. Read the rest of this entry.

The Pandion concept by Alfa Romeo
This is Alfa Romeo Pandion concept that will be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show along with a concept of a 2-seater spider, designed by Pininfarina. The Pandion concept which is designed by Stile Bertone features a very futuristic design and I have no idea what to say about the rear end. The only word I can think of is ‘whoa!’.
The concept is based on Alfa’s 8C Competizione sports car and features a 2+2 cabin. It has a single door that extends vertically as well as a transparent roof. Its weight is figured at 1,000 kilograms and it measures 4.82m long and 1.28m high. Continue reading to view more images of the Pandion. Read the rest of this entry.

Alfa Romeo’s 149/Milano/Giulietta finally revealed
Alfa Romeo has finally revealed the Giulietta hatchback that was previously called the 149 and then the Milano. The Giulietta that will make its public debut at next year’s Geneva Motor Show will be made available with four engine options. These include a 120hp 1.4TB, a 170hp 1.4TB MultiAir, 105hp 1.6 JTDM as well as a 170hp 2.0 JTDM. The JTDM engines are diesel fueled and all engines are force inducted and more importantly, all feature a “Start&Stop” system as standard. You can also expect a high-performance Quadrifoglio Verde variant with 235hp.
The VW Golf fighter will also come with Alfa’s DNA system that offers three driving modes including Dynamic, Normal and All Weather. There will also be a Q2 electronic differential as well as a VDC, which is a stability control system. Other highlight features include LED daytime running lights (for the front and rear light clusters), concealed rear door handles (like the ones found on the 156) and so on.
Design wise, it reminds me of a “grown-up” MiTo and there is nothing I don’t like about it, for now that is. From the single image of the interior, you can see a two-part sun roof and front seats that look like they can hug you nicely. Continue reading to view three images in high-res form.
