2010 Pininfarina Alfa Romeo Sports Car Spider Concept

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIwTCbVui84W-5p079EV2vnvdc7Or2u-JUjjNR2wLdguj9Rp-t1z5jwL_RjZj4SvPq2KW6lAXbjy5OEvRSavI2eM6_lMX9EFWneFkdtAPHrNqm69vsfW92f3mMxemXxPz3S7w_XT3sqOE/s400/Pininfarina-Alfa-Romeo-Spider-Sports-Car-Concept-4.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Pininfarina,</b> an Italian <b>car</b> design studio, has released to the public the teaser image of their new <b>Alfa Romeo concept</b>. Pininfarina turns 80 years-old this year. As part of celebrating this important milestone the company will unveil this two-seater spider concept pictured here at the <b>2010 Geneva Motor Show</b> in March. It will be presented as a tribute to its long relationship with Alfa Romeo. The unveiling coincides with Alfa's 100th anniversary so it is doubly fitting. The design has been managed by Lowie Vermeersch, head of Pininfarina’s style centre, and the rear reflects the old Alfa Romeo Duetto model, with its cuttlefish-bone inspiration.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ85PCG-PkaUYegEcMs49Pchv9_vGij8rTX_4eyPvxQm5p3-SlGOk1Ly8v2CYWlpyRH1CBXD4snWsIsY6fUV6mPRzLUYEQQZ2W5W2Zp7VaZJhZ0SZWFmb5C385nQOkQCUhcAwzImvdE1c/s400/Pininfarina-Alfa-Romeo-Spider-Sports-Car-Concept-3.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Pininfarina Alfa Romeo Spider Concept </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A revival of the Alfa Duetto is an exciting proposition, and the prototype will be the same two-seater Spider vehicle. It will have a longitudinal engine placed in the front and rear-wheel drive. No production plan has been established as yet, so we can’t say if this could be an eventual replacement to the current Alfa Spider.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp9QWU5t10_RCeiccRX-_Swk0CFCIxj8TRlOpUdSLH9yoiqDvkiwZQwiGSk5mOH77q81RCleVx18Gdk9GHlFl3apL_GDNgUqytFJ0tbiZ5i9us-C2CAgqlxFHsxQovxXiF-KTaK2Pm91k/s400/Pininfarina-Alfa-Romeo-Spider-Sports-Car-Concept-1.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Pininfarina Alfa Romeo Spider Concept </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Apart from the obvious not much else is said or revealed about the car. But from this solitary sketch it can be noted that the current 8C Spider has some serious styling competition. The long sloping bonnet, two-door configuration and short rear overhangs are the main signs of a classic roadster. Whether this traditionalist approach will be kept intact with a soft folding roof remains to be seen.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOiUuA-FTpHMV8RLkbchO-d3orqLS4GJVPYJ3lXxfw3xA8mOYWBd4Jywh8KzbUFSuTxM4GkdZoqDA9KQSivsxRBFM0q2KFjAa-bLRZCJpJ__pLn561W-3i5gL1h8MkeixHOBm3MVM74eo/s400/Pininfarina-Alfa-Romeo-Spider-Sports-Car-Concept-2.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Pininfarina Alfa Romeo Spider Concept </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Perhaps the Pininfarina/Alfa Romeo relationship is about to receive a new life. Hopefully the concept is as good, or even better than this sketch suggests.</div>

SAAB Spyker 9+ Tribute - SAAB Supercar

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEq1Ln5Yw45VPJC_7Fja4DTviNi8PqJQ_9XcejpAUTp2Nl8YTHe5cUEQm-2L9WP_YUBO4jd-9p7SQT5A8mJTEoDMUN7pZq6jcuxp2yOPe-L1TYIo1hwM1Twb7_BX2Kn4IPkxn9qxKmUwQ/s400/2010-SAAB-Spyker-9+-Tribute-1.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Paying his tribute to the SAAB Spyker Automobiles, Swedish designer Eduard Gray has come up with a vehicle concept called the “<b>SAAB Spyker 9+ Tribute</b>” that is not only pleasant to watch but to drive as well. Combining the elements of a mid-engined SAAB with the Spyker platform, the new supercar featuring low down aerodynamics will possibly generate power from an Audi-sourced V8 engine. Touting a big windshield that extends to complete the roof, the Saab Spyker 9+ Tribute allows a wider view to the commuters. His long, lean two-door <b>Saab Spyker 9+ concept car</b> imagines an evolution of Saab's Aero-X enhanced by some of Spyker's exoticism. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7LnsyU9LAU5Bt78CEY5SHwsnhOcR_OummTA45dTlYzktLIZ-K1dbxXRJL54w0Y9m_9YyWdjppFaDXAsvm5PfMRJPt2IXj-ObXk3wFNEqtMS_wb2WeMseiirrwxQtR_j2NsDXIKCYyhVs/s400/2010-SAAB-Spyker-9+-Tribute-4.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>SAAB Spyker 9+ Tribute</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The ink is barely dry on Dutch supercar marque Spyker’s deal to buy Saab, but speculation as to what sort of alluring automotive offspring might arise from the union has already begun. Eduard Gray, an industrial designer educated at Coventry University in the UK and now based in Trollhättan, Sweden, has come up with a concrete vision.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRaeOrjSubBOMckbW1ItA-QzB-R0kFFWWezsFbYlErubZElThCwNuG4VfnZc-2MOGUtHrR_aHjnRqcRPmWRaWwV9nj_x6jGWx2nnFOleIltcV3GkQuT08GIChCLyR5QB976vfcqfIhWkM/s400/2010-SAAB-Spyker-9+-Tribute.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>SAAB Spyker 9+ Tribute</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The union of Saab and Spyker presents a unique opportunity to create a <b>design</b> that takes the best of each brand and distills their qualities into a single product," he said. Gray, who is Dutch and English, points out that a truly unique car can be assembled with the low-slung mid-engine Spyker supercar chassis and the design language at Saab. Spyker lends us its <b>supercar</b> chassis with a mid-mounted engine and low down aerodynamics while Saab contributes with the style, character and engineering making for a design that is as pleasant to look at as it is to drive. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3CfzmPgRIUjFSlMLhvF4_RFKbfsTw2FxfQWpr-PHJbsodg44N2gIR7DqJ-D67naUbHZ0G5Eq2sJ1gMy291Y8-wGgUWGBgPy0nPnlnluJqe8sjS_oXKx5kcQfx6n3NrCMdqCqIZ3WAPWk/s400/2010-SAAB-Spyker-9+-Tribute-3.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>SAAB Spyker 9+ Tribute</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Indeed, his six drawings of the Saab Spyker 9+ Tribute shows elements of both companies. Gray calls the work "a quick expression of my optimism for the future of the brand."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPvXcSlYERUSd0UK5kNWsEnZmKYLBH6HQM5tozqdtUMX3e9g0G87sgsBHWhPfmuRdI1GbG8Uwpuk0tkOow7DI2PEIYPNCsAt3esQoueWugr5q_83kNB6EyuaSMdtLRtCoULFWk3ptthqU/s400/2010-SAAB-Spyker-9+-Tribute-2.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>SAAB Spyker 9+ Tribute</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The distinctly Scandinavian design features a Spyker chassis with a mid-mounted engine and low down aerodynamics, including a system to reduce friction in straight line driving whilst increasing traction in cornering and braking. An enormous panoramic glass roof gives it something of a targa feel as well. Envisioned as a 2+2 model in the storied GT tradition, engine-wise it’s speculated to house a V6 bi-turbo capable of producing over 600 hp, perhaps powered purely by ethanol – we’re talking about the future after all.</div>
