 Alfa Romeo at Geneva Motor Show 2003







 

Alfa Romeo returns to the International Geneva Motor Show with no fewer than three world premières and lots of additions to the current range.

The world première of the Alfa GT Coupé takes pride of place on the stand. The model was created in conjunction with Bertone and offers original styling and exhilarating performance. It also represents a brand new concept of sportiness that combines comfort and elegance.
The spotlights will also be on another world first: the new Alfa Spider and Alfa GTV, now with a brand new look and a revised specifications and power units. These models have always evoked the satisfaction of travel with a sporty or elegant flavour and their appeal remains evergreen.
The third attraction on the Alfa Romeo stand is Concept X, an innovative motoring concept that is a fusion of different vehicle types. The model combines the off-road performance of an SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) with the dynamic features of an Alfa Romeo saloon while also offering a versatile and functional passenger compartment.

The show continues with the GTA family: compellingly styled sports vehicles that combine a glittering racing pedigree with the cream of contemporary engineering. Two 147 GTAs can be seen on the stand: the fastest, most powerful car in its segment (250 bhp - 184 kW). These are joined by a 156 GTA with a sophisticated robotised Selespeed gearbox. Not far away you can see an Alfa 156 GTA, winner of the FIA European Touring Car Championship 2002.

The last car, in particular, features the sporty TI (Turismo Internazionale) logo that Alfa Romeo once used to designate its high performance cars. Now those two letters, so simple yet so glorious, reappear on a special kit that can be added to Alfa Romeo models on request.

 Alfa Romeo plans a TI versions of its cars

Alfa Romeo plans a TI version of its cars range, TI cars are designed for younger, sporty drivers and offer greater driving satisfaction, more handling and more braking capacity.

From the outside, the cars are still recognisable but simply look meaner with a more vice-like grip on the road, an effect that is enhanced by wide tyres, alloy wheels and sideskirts. Inside, a TI interior can be identified by sporty configuration seats plus leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear knob.
More sporty touches are added by an aluminium sill plate and black facia and ceiling.

 Alfa Brera, into production????

Italdesign's Alfa Romeo badged Brera concept car which will hit production in 2004 and the Carcenaro designed Lancia Thesis based concept car are both to receive official blessing by taking pride of place on the Alfa Romeo and Lancia stand's respectively at the Bologna Motor Show which opens next weekend.

It is a turn of the circle from the Paris Motor Show six weeks ago when both cars were tucked well way from the Fiat Group's display. Since Paris Alfa Romeo have had a change of heart and the Brera four wheel drive 2+2 "Grand Tourer" coupe is to form the basis of an €80,000 sports car which will go head to head with the Porsche 911, hitting the showrooms in late 2004.

Meanwhile the Thesis based "Grandturismo" coupe concept, designed by Carcenaro with significant imput from Lancia Centro Style, which made a low key premiere in Paris, takes, according to a Lancia press release issued today, "pride of place on the Lancia stand".
