From the original Carlsson C25 differs quite significantly - the first thing to catch the eyes very broad arches with characteristic notches under the air ducts. In general, the car was quite collected, no extra "frills", but definitive conclusions can we do after the official photo. Ultra-lightweight 20-inch wheels, shod in rubber dimension 265/30 front and 325/25 rear, were developed specifically for this car. One wheel weighs only 11.2 kg.

At the motor show in Geneva, which will open its doors on March 2, the Italian design studio Pininfarina concept will double Spider Alfa Romeo.
Currently only available only sketch a car, which premieres timed to coincide with the beginning of the celebration of 80 anniversary of the studio and at the same time, the 100-year anniversary of Alfa Romeo.

The C9 will get its 6.0-litre bi-turbo V12, dropping the old 7.0-litre V12 in the process. The firm is keen to keep this secret – just check out the black coverings on the normally clear engine panels.

Producing around 700bhp and 1000Nm of torque, the C9 should be able to do 0-60mph in under three seconds and accelerate onto a top speed in excess of 225mph.

Making sure all this power goes to the road are bespoke Pirelli P-Zero Rosso tyres – 335/30/ZR20 section at the rear and 255/35/ZR19 at the front – while enormous carbon ceramic brake discs ensure the C9 stops as well as it goes.

In addition, the C9 will use advanced active aerodynamics, following in the wake of Ferrari's 458 Italia. Expect the new model to debut at a major motor show this year, before sales start in 2011 with a price tag of around £750,000.
