I wonder if that's with the suspension up at pressure or down in rest position?! :)
seem to remember (not that I ever had a BX thankfully!) that the outer body panels are fibreglass so I recon any speed above 40 or so it would be ripped off, probably with half the tailgate!! what do you all think?....

Wasn't the BX front wheel drive?

Downforce at the rear. Duuuuh!

I think the snowplough is the best explanation!

Thats General Motors concept car for the Flagship Alfa of 2015.


apparently they had read somewhere that the owners of current late model Alfa's didn't have enough turtle wax surfaces or magic tree hanging space,

and this is the result!

enjoy! :P


note - its actually very clever, but very expensive to achieve, but it comes with pre-faded rosso red paint, to give the new owners something to polish and moan about straight away. You see, buying a new Alfa is a lifestyle choice, not just a new car, say the marketing chaps



Moaning,



and polishing.......





the power of the forum :lol:
