And decided to do with the type of car that, by definition, the work of Pininfarina: an Alfa Romeo Spider. A product that is very Italian, who became registered exports, which represent an inexhaustible talent that combines the world with Italy.
Alfa Romeo Pininfarina Concept 2uettottanta lects a determination to look ahead with optimism following tradition, reaffirming excellence in design and innovation capacity acknowledged aesthetics and technology. This concept is an innovative approach, projected into the third millennium, a subject that is deeply rooted in the history of Pininfarina, Spider two-seater. And like the best Alfa Romeo sports cars come from Pininfarina pens, Alfa Romeos concept glorified 2uettottanta driving experience and focuses on the excitement behind the wheel of the car open with a great aesthetic personality. This is a car that can make people dream and excites even after many years. Icon of a lifestyle that dates back to time, tumultuous life. As a duet of the Sixties, which helped shape the trends that are based on the theme of rebellion and escape, thanks to the movie "The Graduate".
Alfa Romeo concept 2uettottanta also a tribute to Alfa Romeo, which celebrates its centenary in 2010: the alliance between Alfa Romeo and Pininfarina is one of the most significant and enduring in the history of the car, one of the men from the passion design solutions, and advanced technology, which produces a number of precious-looking, innovative cars with a great temperament. With the tendency for a sports car and convertible cars. The goal is to reproduce this with the concept Alfa Romeo 2uettottanta. So the line, clean elegant chosen for this "simple two places," which comes with a 1750 cc turbo longitudinal position, a clear erence to the "Veloce 1750" in 1968, one of the many versions derived from the famous in osso Seppia "(cuttlefish) . With a red body, inspired by classical paintings Alfa Romeo, which 2uettottanta is 1797 mm wide, 4212.6 mm, 1280 mm high and has a wheelbase of 2500 mm.
Driving pleasure and feeling in harmony with nature turned into a inery light, elegant, and shapes that seem to slip through the air more easily. This produces the theme of this concept: the expression of a single volume, a few streets from the ground and suspended. Alfa Romeo Concept 2uettottanta seems almost lifted off the ground "more distant". This is an optical effect is achieved with a horizontal line around the car. A continuous sign applied to dynamic, sporty proportions - typical of Alfa Romeo spider - emphasized by the configuration of the cabin, which is significantly shifted to the rear. Design strength lies in its exaltation of simplicity, which does not need to flex its muscles, but only focuses on agility and harmony.
The front 2uettottanta Alfa Romeo concept Alfa Romeo says true character. The design is simple, with a central line that works well on the cars nose, while the performance of more sophisticated surface. At the center, in full view, and all, but purely decorative element, Alfa Romeo is a shield, which seems to arise from the heart of the car and stretch out into the future Pininfarina, three-dimensional approach. Shield made of aluminum and incorporates a floating horizontal flaps. On both sides of a triangle is two-sided ventilation. Two elements impressed on the hood to create a natural link between the logo and the impressive large windshield, which was designed as a ring in hand-beaten aluminum body that emerged from the car without disturbing the flow. Lights, which adopt the latest LED technology is integrated below the line that gives the car a whole character. A strip of carbon in the bottom of the facade acts as a separator of air, channeling air to the rear of the car.
Car side view, where the theme is repeated in a single volume, emphasizing the fluid lines of the whole, with the incorporation of natural form. Line "cut" horizontally to the side to give a sense of great dynamism, he started from the front and back wheels to the rear wheels. As an athlete, to a car, be thin, but also the production of aerodynamic efficiency. Pininfarina has always fought for the natural forms that can convey the effectiveness and respect for the environment, the approach is confirmed by a strong commitment to the theme of eco-sustainable mobility. Alfa Romeo Concept 2uettottanta is in perfect harmony with nature, a formal expression of a response to the needs of our times: it is the arrow that flies in the wind almost without resistance.
Subtle, important, delicate surfaces, even in the back, which echoes the front, but with slightly more emphasis on the muscles. The design combines stylish simplicity with strong characters in the volume and proportion, with details designed to highlight the dynamic car, light personality. Both the lump seems to arise from the volume, into wings floating in a circle in the back seat. At each end, these bars generate an attachment designed to hold a seat belt. Even the rear light clusters are embedded in a thin line that defines the whole piece.
Much attention has gone into the interior design. The result is interior, roomy comfortable, designed with a light, dynamic volumes, which envelop the occupants in the strong arms of convincing. Shapes are sewn into the leather, incorporating touch controls: in the office, Alfa Romeo 2uettottanta faithful to his calling as a concept car designed to treat to drive. Dashboard extends the fluid on the side to blend with the door as a natural continuation of the volume of cars, creating a perfect symbiosis between the exterior and interior. Dashboard features driver-oriented configuration with an innovative approach to the conventional circular Alfa Romeo "tubes" that contain instruments. The tunnel contains the Alfa DNA selector lever in an ergonomic position, which varies the set-up of the car in three modes, Dynamic, Normal and All Weather, adapting the behavior of various vehicle systems (engine, transmission, suspension, steering, brakes, etc.) requirements and drivers different driving conditions. Tunnel through the interior and provide a frame structure, revealing the carbon elements: the choice of material lects Pininfarina constant search for alternative materials that can make vehicles lighter, reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Another powerful element of the interior is the steering wheel, which is a modern interpretation of the three perforated shelves duet, with the addition of paddle shift control for sequential gearbox with double clutch. A pleasant and comfortable drive is guaranteed by the anatomy of a sports site. Everything in the car "floats" ventilation ducts are placed between the cockpit and hull.
The size and design of the tire, which was created specially for the Alfa Romeo 2uettottanta concept in collaboration with Dunlop, accentuating the impression of strong character and strength provided by the car. Tires are low-profile type, right at the extreme edge of the plan view: designed by Pininfarina to incorporate innovative technologies developed by Dunlop, their graphics lect off the car. Their aerodynamic shape and very smooth lateral profile, ensure better handling and less air resistance, thus reducing consumption. Aluminum wheels are treated in line with the rest of the car, and is a free interpretation of the classic Alfa Romeo five circles, revealing a high performance carbo-ceramic Brembo brakes Alfa Romeo.
Alfa Romeo Concept 2uettottanta is not an exercise in pure style, but also a project and research: the goal is to capture the spirit of the spider in the configuration, proportion and design of the car and in his style traces. Working method is one of the genes of Pininfarina. For this project, the creative team at Pininfarina gives carte blanche to express the values inherent in the Alfa Spider "by Pininfarina", the values are considered to have a Giulietta Spider duet or all time classics. To achieve this, the car was given a special introduction, with a low center of gravity and the interior is very open so it does not isolate the residents of the surrounding environment. The result is to bring the road "closer" to the eyes of the driver and increase the sense of dynamism even at low speeds.
What effect 2uettottanta? The desire. Anyone who saw it "should" have it, to drive it, enjoy it. Because 2uettottanta not a dream. Nor does 2uettottanta not want to impress at first, but to achieve a beauty that is not trying just to confirm immediately, but gradually reveals all values and transfers them in the future, making an eternal style. As he did in the case of a duet, which continues to be celebrated as an icon of design after 40 years.
