2010 Pininfarina Alfa Romeo Sports Car Spider Concept

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrc_QAUZV8DSy4mgOj1dwz355zsTvmcYoKplC67ZZwFvyrsfUK7fMckrf5v43entxe-3bxdQg0Z4qbBrAEC5gsaVK-fZnRQlP9KKjNyhZREpUSmuv84FVWBx5rcSX8BQG0PpJP_X4wF3I/s400/Pininfarina-Alfa-Romeo-Spider-Sports-Car-Concept-4.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Pininfarina,</b> an Italian <b>car</b> design studio, has released to the public the teaser image of their new <b>Alfa Romeo concept</b>. Pininfarina turns 80 years-old this year. As part of celebrating this important milestone the company will unveil this two-seater spider concept pictured here at the <b>2010 Geneva Motor Show</b> in March. It will be presented as a tribute to its long relationship with Alfa Romeo. The unveiling coincides with Alfa's 100th anniversary so it is doubly fitting. The design has been managed by Lowie Vermeersch, head of Pininfarina’s style centre, and the rear reflects the old Alfa Romeo Duetto model, with its cuttlefish-bone inspiration.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEile3pmzaLGUOUkxUo3cWVU3GfAqkDyPyl_huCS22yg5b_R4W2FMoxwkfWZnIRdcM3QAv7qt3Zs8lO_8nnCxdE7sBEofAm4sQ2GqpX9nu-D1vUhh2mp3YGMYz_bUtbD_rHIc3MrvNgcmc8/s400/Pininfarina-Alfa-Romeo-Spider-Sports-Car-Concept-3.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Pininfarina Alfa Romeo Spider Concept </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A revival of the Alfa Duetto is an exciting proposition, and the prototype will be the same two-seater Spider vehicle. It will have a longitudinal engine placed in the front and rear-wheel drive. No production plan has been established as yet, so we can’t say if this could be an eventual replacement to the current Alfa Spider.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMMlnoc5qPr-biderITKZHFRI3tbVdydQotRnzPfk4ZgK40Qv6jw-yJQdhRSfBte4Zb6RKzZf8qBDAEDsmyg2LIC0IsDoxyYh1t2lSg8WbPR1DExMI8LviPnBtkAGr-Sd4lcNAzFBarGw/s400/Pininfarina-Alfa-Romeo-Spider-Sports-Car-Concept-1.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Pininfarina Alfa Romeo Spider Concept </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Apart from the obvious not much else is said or revealed about the car. But from this solitary sketch it can be noted that the current 8C Spider has some serious styling competition. The long sloping bonnet, two-door configuration and short rear overhangs are the main signs of a classic roadster. Whether this traditionalist approach will be kept intact with a soft folding roof remains to be seen.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1e9kNZBoBcXQilBGvIrpaDKBqFjQbKshPY425FoebxLMnI3vvgVMrWGRcWPUHUDdGOalbfcenRIeoc9uF6ChWe9J9BIsPUWBnJaAZrwEY6KnIK0xYY7yfWf54BKriQdsbnecCmfNAwN4/s400/Pininfarina-Alfa-Romeo-Spider-Sports-Car-Concept-2.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Pininfarina Alfa Romeo Spider Concept </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Perhaps the Pininfarina/Alfa Romeo relationship is about to receive a new life. Hopefully the concept is as good, or even better than this sketch suggests.</div>

"With summer kicking in, the launch of two new cars and our recent scrappage announcement regarding a £2000 reduction on the price of a new MG, the next few months will be a very tempting time for customers to get the new <b>sports car</b> they have always wanted."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2ygnKVBMAvyj_LUCAq04kScuZL6Zl0H0uHwFFMzZHtPa9deTn2-6C6tAWE8dEDQ_-PN_y42kusopIuF42WGuiK2foPmkmElDc6Oq0q8qwRFl6uwoY_MsC8bGb5qDaVO3tVrkd5LXX7RQ/s400/2010-MG-TF-Sport-Cars-5.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The greatly anticipated MG TF 135 will be launched shortly and is sure to appeal to motorists who want sports car fun at a highly competitive price. Good levels of trim and equipment including a Clarion ICE system, combine with a price tag that will broaden its appeal and bring it within the budget of many more people. The TF 135 will hit showrooms shortly, offering all the fun and appeal of a convertible sports car at a highly affordable £13,511 OTR.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeDL7i6uT2paEHJjQZfOmf9M5q7T3O6VSGRZgV32wT1ECno_AmsMMCyeMJo7KBOty-KnJaaK1nAcbK6blEUtxYhVvMx8Q_tDLNsXFy1Z-B4NyN0auuRI2rT1PUIR4P9ihmOv193gH0fN0/s400/2010-MG-TF-Sport-Cars-7.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This special version differs from the conventional in several respects. For the new colors, a central line that runs almost everywhere, by an impressive tires, an air intake of a different design, graphics and a new air intake on the side, a rear reformed, and by a more pronounced spoiler. A unique MG TF is being launched to mark the 85th Anniversary of the MG brand. The MGTF 85th Anniversary will be a great looking car with fantastic handling.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguLpnac7fdc4gufJVp-mMCi_3dFdVJt3w5dZEvW5mPPpF-nB6T1ghj_v7N_8RaQvWp1RFx_jtLPAESDlLBRwQ788cxcdvYwm1ZcjxVrntQy0TvzhQjq1tH_oCak5r1jfbWEZjasNjXl1o/s400/2010-MG-TF-Sport-Cars-4.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is the perfect car for taking out on the highway for a lazy Sunday. The true genius behind the design and engineering of the MG is the small but performance enhanced 1.8L 16v 135bhp 4 cylinder DOHC with its 5 speed manual transmission.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS9KtU0ZfILAPEud_SsQY7cbyaaRKdWlTUmFcjFN6bh9MoLsu2g_cJ5snL4bmmYyqWhUPIUjFgZ_H_Mfq_jQIpvEOchGXGoTV3-XNZBEE9gtZoAb7PzwQzY4CpJzJ4nttShU3Y9T1o3K8/s400/2010-MG-TF-Sport-Cars-3.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It may only pack a four cylinder engine but with performance at the forefront of it’s design, this MG can reach speeds of up to 127mph/205kph. Another cool feature on all MG’s is the patented multi-port fuel injection system. This means that the power is better distributed inside of the cylinder chamber. It’s like having a HEMI enveloped into a smaller package.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk8l7XX0DUlChQfSj4lApjsOQkKHN1j62i_SqWgPy9Nbk2T9MdMhgDynRWBFv-acgfqhKNXZJL_A92EniQFPjMPrYRMCC-xLuAyYp_Kh2b1lg-1CfkCKdvLvpAw_ER4_1NBiLdWLlK87Q/s400/2010-MG-TF-Sport-Cars-2.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Other performance features on the new MG TF include the fact that it can go from 0-60mph in just 8.4 seconds.Available in three special colours overlaid with striking graphics and a new design of alloy wheel, from the outside the car looks sensational. The cabin is stunning too as the specialist graphics continue with monogrammed sill finishers and gear knob which complement new stylish Aubergine leather trim and a high quality ICE system.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbkIaUXax2Ugptdb0-yRw-VWzEgswfHKe2yOt9igbUPDjhXgkFXaKTlL3xS4kZWN5ndTYvx8yqU8RIFOayAsskDe5UZ7hIXzXSzuqjczh-k9cAcg2S_sPRQTFBNW4o8rcZfAZ91hM8RW0/s400/2010-MG-TF-Sport-Cars-10.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Apart from the stunning look, the new TF 85th Anniversary model also benefits from a ride and handling package that's tuned to make this car unique to drive. Bilstein suspension, Eibach anti roll system, lower ride height, an all new anti torsion pack and a modified wheel set up on Rimstock 'Twisted Pepper' style wheels give the 85th Anniversary edition a grown up feel and very precise handling at high speeds.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIptmfuSWeGH7W9jQcLKrLHTUbEp194KDFFNIGvfujOcX2NHM5hePRlyI9WC5m3LyPVkX6UwWU2-9qtxXXDouzezuN6GiObctlL5-_EKWc_RaBtYAjs2YzaI7JrB61unxyYFLmrxw70_A/s400/2010-MG-TF-Sport-Cars-6.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The price is very interesting for Great Britain , is £ 15,664 , but apparently for some skills that made the Government your cost will be in the £ 13,664 </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://designcarbody.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIcRKruoSurmVUBtEZib_3b2VHNeaJoYaBCSl7h2DYaBrJ4DMGanQ3N5FCVh9T9yPoMxm51OprlFr1dMK2kHz-jdfxe7PdQzv8TyhmjlF7ChN9pigCNp27OdvgxK07Ds74_xzuo8_7KJ4/s400/2010-MG-TF-Sport-Cars-8.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">With the fully loaded and highly specified MG TF LE500, the extremely affordable MG TF 135 and the tightly handling MG 85th Anniversary, MG now offers a family of cars that give existing owners looking for something new, as well as prospective customers who just want to enjoy British mid engined, top down sports car driving, some real choices.</div>

The passenger seated behind the driver has less leg-room but there is still enough space even for an adult.<br /><br />Depending on the number of batteries chosen to increase the range of this version, devised with solely plug-in electric traction, the passenger room could drop to three or two seats if necessary, with a large luggage compartment.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A glance at the interiors</span><br />The first aspect that strikes you, even before you discover the car interiors, is the door handle: an ergonomic design that incorporates a set of secondary controls that vary from place to place.<br /><br />The driver can use the handle grip to control all four power windows, door locking and unlocking, the courtesy lights, side mirror adjustment and electrical lowering of the rear head restraint to improve visibility while reversing.<br />The front passenger can also adjust the hi-fi system as well as his or her own window. The rear passengers can also adjust their seats from the handle grip.<br /><br />Two TFT panels dominate the dashboard. They are housed side by side in the centre of the dashboard, at a concave angle.<br /><br />The right-hand monitor shows the speedometer and the main car operating indicators in addition to hybrid system energy flows.<br /><br />The left-hand monitor shows secondary information such as screens for the hi-fi system, telephone and internet access browser plus personalised car set-up parameters.<br /><br />A third display, located beneath the central console, is a touch screen that controls all the car's main and secondary functions. The right part of this TFT screen permanently displays the climate system temperature and air flows.<br /><br />The lower part of the central console, housing the ignition button and gear selector, extends towards the tunnel and can be folded down. When parking in a tight spot, forcing the driver or front passenger to leave the car from the opposite side, this central element can be lowered and the seat moved back so that they can get out on the other side without hindrance.<br /><br />The central console also houses two USB ports to connect digital music players and mobile phones, plus an SD card slot for satellite navigation maps.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Powered by Lotus Engineering</span><br />The drive system is a series hybrid plug-in developed by Lotus Engineering, a Proton Group company. It includes a 3 cylinder 1.2 litre internal combustion engine developing 51 horsepower (38 kW) at 3500 rpm that can run on petrol, ethanol, or methanol.<br /><br />The front transverse internal combustion engine is coupled to a generator and serves exclusively to recharge the 11.5 kWh capacity lithium ion batteries.<br /><br />Drive is assured by an electric motor with continuous power of 45 kW and 75 kW peak power.<br />The high maximum torque, 240 Nm, does not require the use of a gearbox.<br />Acceleration 0-100 km/h takes place in 14 seconds, top speed is 170 km/h and battery range in the hybrid configuration is 50 km. Full recharging of the battery pack takes three hours using a traditional 240-volt outlet.<br /><br /></div>
