The project saw Master in Transportation Design students give their “completely independent interpretation of a new Alfa Romeo saloon", according to head of Fiat and Chrysler design Lorenzo Ramaciotti. 

Although merely a styling exercise, the dramatically designed Gloria will be showcased on the European Design Institute display at next month's Geneva motor show.

While taking design features from both modern and vintage Alfa Romeos, the Gloria maintains typical saloon car dimensions with specific focus on passenger comfort and space. Power would come from state-of-the-art V6 or V8 bi-turbo engines.

Lorenzo Ramaciotti said, “During development, we commented, discussed and guided the projects in order to get the most from their spontaneous expressions of creativity. The result was stimulating and marked by professional and creative excellence.”
