Alfa Romeo GTV 105 awesome Concept

Saw this on my favourite website and thought... how good would this be if they actually built a new 105 GTV

Thoughts ?

It is very nice. In my opinion, it would be better than new Giulia sedan coming soon. But I realised how the original 105 design is excellent even though these cars are 40 years old. This is why I love them.

I love the white and silver concepts, better wheels. I doubt this will ever get up but how if it had the performance to match the looks, I would buy one for sure.

Anyway, nice dreaming.

Get rid of the bloody trashy led lights. the round headlights don't work with the design, either. Otherwise, great. I'd buy one (and of course keep my original)

The first pic was a little disapointing, but as I scrolled down it improved!
I had hoped there might be some influence from Chrysler on the retro front, a new 105 that did to the original what the modern Dodge Challenger was to it's 70's namesake would be fantastic.

wow, I think it is terrible. My opinion only of course

Not a big fan of trying to rehash a classic design.

I think I just threw up a little. I'm normally pretty open minded to these concept type things, I really really dont like this one though....

I love it. It's got what Alfas should have. A head turning edge as well as nuts to follow through. It's fresh and contemporary. It's not better than the original but it is as good for its time. Good to see some thinking away from that bloody jelly mold crap I have been seeing for years from all makes. I am sick to death of it. Keep it up Bertone.

I threw up as if I sank a bottle of Jack Daniels, followed by a 6-pack of Carlsberg Elephant beer.

Sounds like that night we had before Phillip Island a few years ago....

First thing I thought when I saw the pics was 'gee, Zagato was a few years ahead of his time with the Junior Z'.

Not a huge fan of these pics, but it has potential.

Haha... the last 2 certainly show that the front of the concept needs some work...

In the concept there seems to be an element of life (renderings of it anyway) imitating art (if you call video games art). Iit looks like they ran out of polygons. The broad concept might work if it were made less exaggerated - the rear 3/4 is my favorite, front on is just ugly.
