Independent designer Marco Procaccini has come up with a new concept study for a modern day Alfa Romeo sports coupe with a front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout.
The study is named Carlo Chiti after the Italian racing car and engine designer, who was best known for his work at Alfa Romeo’s motorsports division.
Procaccini says the compact size and lightweight coupe has seating for two and measures 4,050mm long, 1,830mm wide, and 1,250mm tall.
While the Alfa Romeo Carlo Chiti study was completed just before we learned about the Fiat Group’s deal to build the Alfa Romeo Spider on the next Mazda MX-5, the concept is very close in dimensions to the current generation of the Japanese maker’s roadster.
Given that, the 4C Coupe will be a more hardcore and pricier mid-engine sports car, we cannot find a reason why Alfa would not want to expand the future Spider’s range with a coupe model to battle the Toyota, Scion and Subaru triplets. What do you think?
