A batch of leaked low-resolution images has prematurely revealed the Alfa Romeo Gloria concept ahead of its scheduled debut at the 83rd annual Geneva Motor Show. Finished in an eye-catching shade of dark red, the sedan is the work of 20 students from the European Design Institute (IED) of Turin.
When the project began, Alfa asked the students to design a four-door sedan that could be sold in North America and in Asia as well as in Europe. The Gloria stretches 185 inches long, 75 inches wide and 51 inches high, dimensions that are roughly on par with those of the 166, Alfa's range-topping sedan from 1998 to 2007.
The leaked pictures reveal that the concept reveals that it borrows styling cues such as its rounded fenders and its triangular grille from current members of the Alfa lineup. It is equipped with suicide rear doors and it sits on 20-inch alloy wheels that were designed by the students and built by OZ Racing.
The Gloria is not functional but Alfa says that either a V6 or a V8 engine can be mounted under its long hood.
Like most other student-designed show cars, the Gloria will likely remain at the concept stage.
