The Elegant Badboy Automobile

alfaromero_c18_1

They seem like contrasting terms, don’t they? Elegant and Badboy? They’re however not really opposites. We just haven’t used them together enough.

The Alfa Romeo C18 concept by Antonio Paglia seems to fall into those two categories with its beautifully flow-y yet authoritative and powerful design. It absolutely does away with any glass, be it the windshield or even windows (I guess it’s either autonomous or has screens on the inside), resulting in a form that looks well-integrated and unbelievably sculptural. Plus, can I say I absolutely love the split color/material/texture scheme? The matte black back seems to go well with the metallic colored front, giving the car almost a Bugatti type vibe. Plus the V shaped light pipe on the radiator?? What an absolutely wicked idea!
