Pininfarina&#8217;s will be a roadster, Bertone&#8217;s a coupe and ItalDesign&#8217;s a sedan. PF has already <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/29\/geneva-preview-alfa-based-pininfarina-spider-concept-to-make-it\/\">released a sketch<\/a> of its design, but if you thought that was a tease, Bertone&#8217;s (pictured above) gives even less away.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/bertone\">Bertone<\/a> has been in flux these past few years, caught in the middle of a legal battle between members of the family. Alfa Romeo&#8217;s parent company, Fiat, recently acquired the old manufacturing facility, but left Stile Bertone independent. It&#8217;s that design studio &#8211; headed until recently by one Jason Castriota and responsible for such designs as the Alfa 8C-based <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/01\/13\/detroit-2009-stile-bertone-alfa-romeo-b-a-t-11-is-not-the-next\/\">B.A.T. 11<\/a> and the Corvette ZR1-based <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/12\/09\/bertone-mantide-goes-from-blush-to-pale-looks-better-for-it\/\">Mantide<\/a> &#8211; that will be bringing out the concept. <\/p>\n<p>Other than the novel take on the classic Alfa grille shape, expanded outwards to accommodate LED headlamps, there&#8217;s not much else to tell, but we can&#8217;t wait to see what Italy&#8217;s finest have to offer when we get to Geneva&#8217;s Palexpo.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stilebertone.it\/\">Stile Bertone<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.carbodydesign.com\/archive\/2010\/02\/bertone-alfa-coupe-concept-preview\/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+carbodydesign-news+%28Car+Body+Design+-+News%29\">Car Body Design<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/02\/01\/bertone-teases-geneva-bound-alfa-concept\/\">Bertone teases Geneva-bound Alfa Romeo concept<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Mon, 01 Feb 2010 17:30:00 EST.
