Obviously not an official AR design, they never "release" their designs like that.

PS job combining 8C styling with 147 or similar.



Lets hope I'm right at least... :shock:

Barry my first reaction on seeing this photo was Opel Corsa VXR... :oops: I am not crazy about the frontal headlight treatment at all.No wonder they are holding a competition to find a name other than 'Junior' for this car.It would be an insult to the heritage, that is the GT Junior,to have this car be seen as it's succesor in some way.

Ah well ,here's hoping it's dynamics are great. :D

P.S Barry we still on for lunch tomorrow ?

Only difference here is the Alfa is the only one made or close to it and Dino`s are a dime a dozen ,Mike...
The Alfa is an awesome bit of kit though...

Hey Baz, as humble as the Dino is by today's standards, it's worth giving the original design team a huge pat on the back for the work done more than 40 years ago.

This design inspired a zillion copy cat models all over the planet.

Originality never goes out of style...it gets 10/10 from me.

Still feels like a sicilian bulldog on steroids.

And this is supposed to be the official sketch of the car:

Ahso ! The Japs will never buy it. The car doesn't have a front end smile..apparently a consumer must for Japs.Funny thing is, if you take off the Alfa badge, you'd swear it was designed by itchy micke in Tokyo.

The front on this guy looks like it just needs the gills and fins to complete the picture of sea a creature..aaww puke. :(
