The Alfa Romeo Trionfo is an independent study created to celebrate the Italian brand’s history that spawned a lot of great cars throughout the years.
According to its creator, Sebastiano Ciarcià, the Trionfo was born with the target to evoke the classic Alfa Romeo myth and spirit, retracing the most important stages of its history. And the project doesn’t need an ”Alfista” educated eye to see the resemblances that honor the Italian car maker’s greatest creations and time periods, from the post-war era to the 1950s.
The Trionfo, which translates to triumph in English, was modeled as a one-seat spider, adopting proportions and volumes found on the iconic 1952 Disco Volante, the 6c 3000 CM and 300 CM Zagato Spider, as well as the Duetto and Sport Spider.
But even though the design study is catering to the romantic era of motorsport, which included the famous Targa Florio event, its powertrain was imagined as a state-of-the-art system, composed of 4 electric motors (one in each wheel) drawing energy from a gas microturbine unit. The designer says that the amount of power created by the setup, together with the vehicle’s lightweight construction, makes for a high-performance package.
