The Alfa Romeo Berlina Da Corsa which means 'Sedan From
Race' in Italian is a concept created by Seongjun Ko,
a Transportation Design graduate from Hongik University
in South Korea.
The exterior styling of the Berlina Da Corsa concept was
strongly influenced by Alfa Romeo's rich racing heritage
and sporting models from the 60's and 70's like the GT
1300 Junior and the 1750 GTV. This influence is especially
noticeable in the design of the grille and headlight layout.
The design brief for the concept called for a next generation
sedan, however the Berlina Da Corsa fulfills two roles
thanks to its unique roof system. The rear section of
the roof can be raised or lowered depending on whether
the rear seats are occupied or not. This has the effect
of turning the profile from a coupe to a sedan and back
again, and due to the fact the roof is flexible and not
made of separate metal panels the roofline remains fluid
and unbroken in both positions.
The end result is that the driver can use the Berlina
Da Corsa for dynamic and fast driving on racing tracks,
and when needed the concept can transport four adults
in style and comfort. The only downside to the design
of the concept is the fact the rear seat passengers have
a very limited field of vision and the passenger compartment
would be very dark indeed.
