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".
