Even though in recent years Alfa Romeo’s formal presence in the concept scene has been limited to the 4C pre-production study, independent designers and studios alike have tried their best to cover the Italian firm’s absence and capture the imagination of the public with plenty of conceptual proposals.
IDECORE, an Italian studio that bills itself as “independent designers and modelers” and which you may remember from last year’s Monza V8 study, sent us these computer generated images of a new Alfa Romeo concept named Minhoss.
The Minhoss is a study for a smaller Alfa Romeo sports coupe designed by Marco Marchese.
The young Italian designers tells us that his creation “takes inspiration from the ancient Minoan civilization, melting it carefully with style elements from different models of Alfa Romeo’s past and present”.
The concept was penned to be around 4.1-meters in length (approx. 162-inches long) with power preferably coming from Alfa’s 1.75-liter turbocharged four-cylinder TBi engine tuned to develop around 265-ponies.
Marchese says that the Minhoss would feature a traditional layout with the engine mounted up front, and the gearbox and driving axle at the rear.
Take a look at the high-res photos below and tell us what you think.
