Since we've gotten a bit slow here, I will add my last Alfa Woman photo. I think this a concept car built on the same platform as the 8C. It was at the NAIAS but this is a pic I got off the internet somewhere. I like how the models lines match those of the car.

That is the B.A.T. 11 concept car, and it is being built on the 8C underpinnings. Like the three and only B.A.T. cars from the 1950's it was designed by Bertone. Nonetheless, the B.A.T. 11 is lower in height than the 8C. The air filter was relocated from the center of the engine bay to the front and side and the height was lowered by 4 inches. When tested in the wind tunnel the prototype had a coefficient of drag of 0.22! It's a stunning car with cameras, instead of mirrors and front wheel fenders that are connected to the steering system and move out when the car steering wheel turns.

This concept car was at the NY Auto Show this past April, and it absolutely stole the show. The show organizers didn't know much about it, but around 4 PM on Monday they came down to the stand to inquire. They said that the web site hits were through the roof because of the Alfa, and they wanted to upload information about it, as well as more pictures.

Best regards,

Yes, it is the B.A.T. 11; it is also on the home page of the Alfabb website. Just in case you didn't know, NAIAS is the North American International Auto Show. It occurs every January in Detroit. The car was shown there and I talked with a representatives from Alfa Romeo and one of the designers of the car. I also have a picture of myself with the car but did not post it since it is called Women & Alfas but let's not get bogged down with car facts. Bring on the pictures of Women & Alfas.

It would be hard to concentrate on your car with girls like that around! They certainly build 'em in El Salvador!
