Alfa Romeo Giulia GT50 Concept is a Modern Reinterpretation of Bertone's Classic Sprint GT

With the Alfa Romeo Giulia 50GT Concept, Rome-based Italian designers Michele Di Mauro and Claudio Piccioli who run the GetShaped Studio have re-imagined the Giulia Sprint GT penned by Bertone. Apart from bringing the classic Alfa coupe into the 21st century, the two designers wanted to celebrate the studio’s centenary as well as the model’s 50th anniversary (hence the “50” in the name). <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5cHp5YfE4mo/UI8iGccFLXI/AAAAAAAJxsQ/ksmkWWE-i_4/s1600/Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-GT50-Concept-05.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5cHp5YfE4mo/UI8iGccFLXI/AAAAAAAJxsQ/ksmkWWE-i_4/s110/Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-GT50-Concept-05.jpg" width="110" /></a> The two <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/Alfa%20Romeo%20Concepts">studies</a>, a GT-oriented and a sportier, more aggressive version (the red and the grey-colored examples respectively) remain faithful to the overall concept of the original Giulia, retaining its large circular headlamps and oversized Alfa “shield” at the front, as well as the hood air vent. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/10/alfa-romeo-giulia-gt50-concept-is.html#more">Read more »</a>

Which is probably why the VW Group has showed such an interest in the firm. Too bad the Fiat Group never really allocated the sources or the time to rebuild and refocus the famed Italian brand as a real premium automaker.
