Video: Alfa Romeo Diva Concept

06/09/2006, 12:50 PM

By admin

Italian automaker Alfa Romeo has put together an interesting video showcasing its Diva concept car. The company only quietly exhibited the concept car this year, and never release official images of it. Parts of this video appear to be computer generated — or enhanced — while others show an actual car. Most importantly though, it appears the Fiat subsidiary has put a great deal of research and development into the Diva, which suggests a production model could be planned. Video after the jump…

That’s a very nice looking car to my eyes, but I could never buy a car with the word Diva written on it.

The name is real corny and brings to mind temperamental stars. The last thing you want an italian car to be is temperamental. It wasn’t great looking either. with the edsel horse collar grille and all.

It’s a decent looking car. Kind of reminds me of one of those Mitsubishi models. The sharp edges and “Voltran” straight lines gives it a Japanese feel.

Yeah, it’s not as good looking as the 8c Competizione. I’m sure they designed this thing with aerodynamics in mind, but I think the front needs to be visually improved. The inside “wings” gives the Diva a moustache. I don’t like to date divas with moustaches :)

I guess overall, the car needs more subtle curves. It’s too sharp; doesn’t have that classic Alfa feel to it. I’ll pass on this one. Give me the 8c Competizione please.

It reminds me of that front-end wing they would occationally put on the Lamborghini Countach to get around the bumper-height law in order to keep the euro-spec front end. I like it. Hope you enjoyed the link I earlier posted. I like how the doors open.

Did enjoy that link, Marc, but I haven’t spoken German in the longest time. There was a time when I could read Nietzche, Kant, Klein, and Gauss in German. Now, I just buy German cars. :)

I wish leftlanenews would post links to the original info. Or, have another link WITHIN leftlanenews with a link to the original info, and a copy of the original article. That way, we don’t have to subscribe to another crappy site and get junk email.

You listening up leftlanenews???

its nice but not as nice as the 8c. for one its got huge chunks missing from the front and that name is poor. otherwise its pretty cool.

The name doesn’t translates well from Italina to English well haha. Am i wrong or does Diva mean something like goddess? I guess make it Divo, and then people wouldn’t have anything to say about “god” other than that it sounds similar to the Dino which isn’t a problem. The cars pretty sweet, but it needs bigger and more agressive headlamps so it doesn’t get lost on that agressive front end.

Looks unfinished. I agree, the better choice is the 8C Competizione. I am glad that the 8C will be produced not this “prototype”.
