The Alfa Romeo Caimano is a concept car designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Italdesign and presented at the Turin Motor Show in 1971.[1] The car is exhibited at the Museo Storico Alfa Romeo.
Design
The Caimano features many unconventional design elements, one of the most striking being its large glass canopy-windshield, which incorporates the doors as well. The B and C pillars form a trapezoidal roll bar in the rear of the car, which also doubles as an adjustable spoiler which can be controlled from inside the cabin.[1] Other features include two smaller windows on the doors for ventilation or paying toll, pop up headlights, a large Alfa Romeo logo printed on the hood in burnt orange and a cylindrical dashboard.[2]
Specifications
The Caimano is based on the mechanicals of the Alfa Romeo Alfasud, using a 1.3 L (1,286 cc) Boxer H4 engine producing 86 bhp (64 kW) and connected to a 5 speed manual transmission. The chassis is taken from the Alfasud as well, but has been shortened by almost 8 inches.[3]
