Alfa Romeo BAT 11 concept

The Alfa Romeo BAT 11 concept from 2008 was a continuation of the B.A.T. line of Bertone concept cars from the 1950s which were characterized by dramatic styling wings. BAT stands for Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica.

The Alfa Romeo BAT 11 was based on the Alfa Romeo 8c Competizione platform. The concept was commissioned by car collector Gary Kaberle who previously owned the Alfa Romeo BAT 9.

One of the more unusual features of the BAT 11 concept, aside from the massive rear wings, were the aerodynamic front wheel covers. These can move during low speed corners to allow for full steering lock. The 21 inch turbine styled wheels featured carbon fibre spokes.
