Aug 1 2008Alfa Romeo Concept Actually Being Produced

Welcome to the 70s

this car... i started to get a slight erection then i took a second look and slightly threw up in my mouth. now im half hard and i refuse to spit out or swallow this acidic fluid. damn it, alfa, what is happening to us?

I wonder what the gas mileage is. Is it hybrid? Oh who am I kidding? I can't even afford to fill up my motorized scooter. Damn thing holds half a gallon. Do you know how much Taco Bell $2 could buy me?!

Hotness.

What I meant to say is it looks like the cars from the future as designed in the 1970's.

If I ever own this car I will buy an leisure suit and grow the nastiest set of side burns ever grown by man. And yes I will start my own Death Race...

Zeno, im combing my mustache and my semi-long hair, and putting on my bell-bottom slacks. i am intrigued and would like to compete in this 'Death Race' of yours.

reminds me of the Fiat Coupé

first bitches!!!!

WHAT? Why is that being produced? It is the ugliest car I've ever seen in my life.

AlPHa romeo? i wish it was on purpose..

@8: from a fiat coupè owner: erm... not really!
It' obvious that the Fiat Coupè is way cooler than this car! :)

I think it looks sweet but I don't know shit about cars so whatever.

And... nice one #9.

BUT IT HAS NO HEADLIGHTS

HOW DOES IT SEE??

@10 Clearly you've never seen a 1998 Fiat Multipla. Consider yourself lucky.

That seems to have a massive blind spot in the rear quarters, and that fin blocks the rearview. Apart from that, i like it.

#15 - Oh wow, yeah. That might be the ugliest piece of metal/plastic/composite/whatever I've ever seen.

Any of you don't believe us, Google "1998 Fiat Multipla"

*shudder*

1 - this car looks nice for sure
2 - it's alFa romeo, and not alpha
3 - multipla sure looked like ass, and it was just a fail

looks like a really sleek cell phone, made out of a 70's concept car. bring on the handlebar mustache dudes in tight racing suits and the ladies in short shorts and orange racing striped halter tops that cut off their circulation at the mammories! ...man, i loved those days. i was like six, or seven maybe. ..yeah. ..satisfaction.

signing out for the day,
poop

Wow!

It looks crap and will be a pile of crap!

Alpha make crap cars that cost too much and are as unreliable as hell. Trust me on this one!

You want decent engineering and decent service, get an Audi or a VW

@20

I was about to trust you on that one and then you said Audi or VW as decent engineering and decent service...

Maybe in 1980 but nowadays japanese or even korean cars kick any VAG car's butt.

This auto will not be produced.It was a dream car of a man whom owned a BAT 9. He designed this car himself and commissioned the Bertone factory in Italy to build it. The family went bankrupt before the vehicle was completed.The vehicle you see in the pictures has no engine or drive train or frame.This vehicle was sneaked out of the factory by the factory engineers without the family's knowledge and displayed near a bar outside an auto show in Germany.These are the pictures you see here.
There will be no more than this concept car.

Gary Kaberle, former owner of the B.A.T. 9, and co-innovator and promoter of the B.A.T. 11.

18 February 2008

As we all wait for the famous Italian car styling company Bertone to decide whether or not the B.A.T. 11 concept car will debut at the Geneva Auto Show March 4-16th, I want to release a message of support. The new era B.A.T. 11 is painted and nearly ready for travel to Geneva now.

The B.A.T. 11 was a concept that I came up with to honor two of the most important parts of my life: my wife, Debbie, and the B.A.T. heritage, which when I bought the B.A.T. 9 when I was a 17 year old kid in 1963, was endangered as it is again today. As many automotive aficionados know, I spent the next 28 years restoring and showing the B.A.T. 9. During that time, I became an expert about this extraordinary line of vehicles, and a friend to many of those responsible for creating the original three B.A.T.’s.

As special as the B.A.T.’s were -- and the B.A.T. 9 was to me -- the B.A.T. 11 is far more important. In 1990, Deb, my wife of 12 years by then and the mother our children, was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was told the cancer already had metastasized. Like so many women who face this disease, she was devastated by the diagnosis, but determined to fight. As she faced a certain death sentence, we learned of important new but experimental treatments being offered through the National Institute of Health. They were Deb’s only hope -- but they also cost a small fortune. There was only one way we could pay for them -- for Deb’s very survival.

I sold the B.A.T. 9.

Deb lived another two precious years we never will forget. As I struggled through my mourning -- which continues -- I pondered a way to help women avoid Deb’s fate. And that’s when the idea of the B.A.T. 11 came about.

What if the B.A.T. line was revived -- combining the revered heritage of these vehicles with an exciting new line of B.A.T. cars, equal in aerodynamic beauty but with 21st century technology? And if such a car could be built, and shown around the world, what if I could use that to bring awareness about breast cancer? I call it ‘Dreams and Design for a Cure.’

I began to think about designing and building such a car. But, while my passion and knowledge about B.A.T.’s was formidable, this was my quest, and I wouldn’t give up. Deb wouldn’t have wanted me to. I needed help. I knew the only people to talk to where those at Bertone. I went to Italy, we talked, and the B.A.T. 11 car began in earnest and faster than I ever expected. Alfa Romeo was set to provide a marquee and possibly a chassis as well.

I know certain forces have put into question a final decision on the display of the B.A.T. 11 in Geneva. I do not take sides and I do not judge. But I hope that ultimately the force of faith, hope and survival prevail -- that breast cancer can be prevented and one day healed -- prevails in this controversy. I hope this message of support for all of those who have worked to make this car a reality helps bring the B.A.T. 11 to Geneva and to the rest of the world.

Unless this thing has at least 5 remote cameras to make up for the serious lack of visability, it wouldn't last 15 minutes on any DFW freeway.

well, f*** me... you know how to ruin a party.

lol alpha romeo is made by FIAT, yes FIAT, so go figure......... this looks like crap, was this a guiguiaro desing? doesn't look like it, the ones he designed for Fiat and Alfa Romeo look pretty nice, but still, it's just an expensive ass Fiat, and
Fiat sucks cock!

i love future retro, but this car isn't that hot. looks like a bad batmobile in green, maybe the riddlers car or some shit, but i'd still rather have it than most of whats available to buy

@27

And who are ferrari made by?

I didn't say i liked ferraris!

It looks like Transformers vomit

Wow Tim.

Could you please explain quantum physics now.

@ 30, Fiat own: Alfa, Ferrari, Maserati, and Lancia

Can always trust Bertone to come up with a semi-concept low-volume exotic that is unquestionably Pure Sex. Theirs was the stainless steel wedge car in Moonwalker, by the way.
Can I have one, if I'm good? I might not even drive it. Just leave it parked outside the house and polish it daily.

Mind you, what do I know; I actually like the first-gen Multipla, I think it's an awesome bit of left-field design. Always wanted a Coupe. And there's a special place in my heart for the original Panda, which is just a load of boxes poorly welded together (blame it on growing up in a city which sold its soul to brutalist architects in the 50s and 60s) and a token nod made towards aerodynamics by the windscreen being at a 45 degree slant instead of vertical.
That, and I watched moonwalker several times as a kid, wherein there was a "bad guy" who was actually creepier than michael jackson, even with his ability to turn into a car and a giant metalbot included.
So my judgement may be flawed.
Still, *drool*

@34
WTF, 419'ers are trying to spam comments threads now? Just how desperate ARE you guys?
I'm sure if you just came forward and said "I hate living in Nigeria, I want to ship up as a refugee in France or England but I can't afford passage" (or more realistically, "need money for drugs and organised crime") you'd get more interest.

@21: your a fucking retard jap cars suck ass hole theres too much rice in their shitty motors to do anything all there good for is shitting but even then I think my shit deserves better than some rice burning fuck. #21 I bet you drive Queer Honda Fit you jap jap loving fuck.
