Alfa Romeo Nuvola

The Alfa Romeo Nuvola concept from

The Nuvola was designed by the same man responsible for the Alfa GTV

the 1996 Paris Motor Show was a front engined sports coupe with classic proportions and a longitudinally mounted 300 bhp V6. With a 6-speed manual gearbox the Nuvola was capable of reaching 174 mph. The 'Nuvola' name was a tribute to one of the greatest Italian Grand Prix drivers of all time, Tazio Nuvolari.

The Alfa Romeo Nuvola concept was similar in size to the Alfa Romeo GTV. Both the GTV and Nuvola were designed by the same man, Walter de Silva, and both cars feature twin recessed headlights positioned either side of the small triangular Alfa grille.

Inside the Nuvola concept the classical theme continued with the interior trimmed in bare metal and leather, a wood-rimmed steering wheel with polished spokes suits the design perfectly.

Unfortunatley the flowing, rounded design of the Nuvola was never taken to production and the car remained a concept. On the upside however, the equally gorgeous Alfa Romeo 8c Competizione concept from 2003 went into production in 2007.

Lamborghini Canto – What the Murcielago could have been?

Zagato’s offering was the Zagato L147 SuperDiablo, or as it was to be later known, the Lamborghini Canto. The Lamborghini Canto first appeared in 1998, it arrived only two years after another Zagato designed Lamborghini concept had been unveiled, the Diablo-based Raptor. The cars shared a number of similar features, including the wraparound windows, triangular lateral air intakes, and trademark double-bubble roof. However of the two, the earlier Raptor was probably the better looking. Clearly Ferdinand Piech – head of the Volkswagen Group – thought so too. After VW bought Lamborghini in 1999, one of his first decisions was to review the Canto’s development and redesign the concept. The car was re-engineered and the rear extensively restyled to include smaller air intakes. The engine was also up

McLaren P2 by Rakesh

The McLaren P2 is a concept created by Rakesh Bag , a Student of The Aditya Birla Public School , Veraval , Gujarat from INDIA The styling of the McLaren P2 is more attractive and less clinical than the McLaren P1 , but you can bet your entire worldly possessions on the fact every last millimetre of the bodywork has been extensivley analysed in the windtunnel. The front is unique and original, the way lower part of the bumper flows back into the ‘C’ shaped headlights is inspired. And the P2’s rear end has got to be one of the best in the business. Stunning. “the McLaren P1 and P2 will be the result of 50 years of racing and road car heritage. Twenty years ago we raised the supercar performance bar with the McLaren F1 and our goal with the McLaren P1 and P2 is to redefine it once again.” “Our aim is not necessarily to be the fastest in absolute top speed but to be the quickest and most rewarding series production road car on a circuit,” adds McLaren Automotive Managing Director Anton
