2010 Alfa Romeo 2uettottanta Concept

Pininfarina has always strived for natural shapes that can convey efficiency and respect of the environment, an approach confirmed by its great commitment to the theme of eco-sustainable mobility. The 2uettottanta is in perfect harmony with nature, becoming the formal expression of a response to the needs of our day.

The design of the 2uettottanta combines stylistic simplicity with a strong character in the volumes and proportions, with details designed to underline the car’s dynamic and light personality. Therefore, the front end of the 2uettottanta underlines its true Alfa Romeo character. With its red profile inspired by the typical Alfa Romeo paintwork, the 2uettottanta is 1797 mm wide, 4212.6 mm long, 1280 mm high and has a wheelbase of 2500 mm. The proposed engine is a 1750 cc turbo which is positioned longitudinally.

The size and design of the tyres of the 2uettottanta are created specifically in collaboration with Dunlop. The rims are treated in aluminium in harmony with the rest of the car, and are a free interpretation of the classic five-circle Alfa Romeo pattern. They reveal the high performance carbo-ceramic Alfa Romeo brakes by Brembo.

The 2uettottanta Concept is also a tribute to Alfa Romeo, which celebrates its centenary in 2010.

Following Zagato’s gentlemen-driver heritage, the car has been commissioned by the Alfa Romeo Zagato collector Martin Kapp, during the Zandvoort Tribute to Zagato event, where more than 130 Alfa Romeo Zagatos were celebrating the 90th Anniversary of the brand.

Even the grandiose Quadrifoglio Verde was placed on the bodies of Zagatos of the Alfa Corse team numerous times. Among the most glorious moments is the victory of the Formula 1 championship of Juan Manuel Fangio, aboard his Alfa Romeo 159 bodied by Zagato, as well as the victorious Alfa Romeo 3000 CM bodied in 3 samples by Zagato.
