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>

The Giulia that was launched in the early 1960s is one of those cars. Weighing just 1,000 kg (2,205 pounds), it was powered by an alloy DOHC four-cylinder petrol engine in 1.3- and 1.6-liter displacements with power outputs ranging from 74 to 100HP, coupled to a four or five-speed manual gearboxes. At the time, the trend of updating models nearly three years after launch and then releasing a replacement in another two to three years was non-existent. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/10/memory-lane-classic-1970s-alfa-romeo.html#more">Read more »</a>
