Alfa Romeo is a legendary Italian brand founded in Milan in 1910. Its history reflects the main stages in the development of the entire European car industry. In the early years, she specialized in the production of expensive cars with high dynamic performance. In the 30s. the company reaches the pinnacle of its fame: at the time, Alfa Romeo was considered one of the best sports cars, but only a few could buy them. Everything changed after the war, when such products were no longer in demand. The company was forced to switch to producing cheaper models, while maintaining racing tradition and prestige. This decision ensured the immense popularity of the Giulietta and Giulia cars during the 50s - 60s. Subsequent developments by Alfa Romeo gradually lost their former attractiveness and led to financial problems, although sales volumes increased due to the entry into the market of compact hatchbacks. In 1986, the firm became part of the Fiat Group and is now its premium division.

In 1976, Concorde embarked on its maiden flight and Cray launched the supercomputer. But science fiction was becoming reality in Italy, too, as Bertone unveiled the second of its Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale-based concepts: the Navajo…

Bertone Design Making its debut at the 1976 Geneva Motor Show, the Navajo became the last in a series of concepts based on the competition-derived Alfa chassis. By this time, the 33 Stradale was all but obsolete – but Nuccio Bertone’s penmanship gave the Navajo a body that pre-empted both the character and colour of the Colonial Vipers from 1978 sci-fi series Battlestar Galactica.

Method in the maths Taking the wedge profile in vogue earlier that decade, Nuccio applied the latest aerodynamic principles. Active spoilers complemented the tapered body; both the front splitter and the top section of the rear wing would adjust automatically according to speed. The latter incorporated an isosceles trapezium when viewed from the side – a feature ‘borrowed’ from Giugiaro’s Alfa Romeo Caimano concept of 1971. But Nuccio developed the use of this shape, the inner of the Navajo’s two rear trapezoids being used to draw hot air away from the 2.0-litre V8 mounted behind the passengers.

Design trendsetter The pop-up headlights becoming trendy at the time could be found at the front – but, being a design trendsetter in his own right, Nuccio had them emerge laterally from the front wings. Further flourishes could be found inside, where a ‘floating’ centre console intersected the pair of fixed glassfibre seats. Comfortable it wasn’t, but innovative it was – hence the reason it can hold its own stylistically alongside its most famous industrial contemporaries, and sci-fi’s finest.

The concept is based on the "stretched" chassis from Tipo 33. The two-liter V8 engine, developing 245 horsepower and 183 Nm, is from it. Weight, due to the widespread use of fiberglass - only 800 kilograms.
