Alfa Romeo is celebrating its 100th anniversary in style. This is the Pandion – a remarkable concept car that will make its worldwide debut at the Geneva Motor Show next week.

Penned by famous design house, Bertone, it's based on the 8C Competizione supercar and features a single door that extends vertically allowing access to the 2+2 cabin.

Named a mythical predatory bird, the Pandion also boasts a transparent roof and side sills that show its inner skeletal structure. Tipping the scales at just over 1,000kg it measure 4.82m long, is 1.28m tall and gets lots of carbon fibre touches throughout.

Fellow Italian styling house, Pininfarina, will also reveal a concept at Geneva, in the shape of a two-seater spider.

I have to admit i am begining to have a soft spot for the alfa's again. at the young age the only cars that stood out in my times were the XJS and the alfa's. These cars were completely different looking in style and design compared to the other slab faced cars of its time. Now from the 159 onwards i think these are really good looking cars. I'd just hope they are now reliable enough to drive without breaking down.

The preferred transport of Cylons?

This looks like it was designed for the Battlestar Galactica TV series. All it needs is a red light on the front scanning from left to right.

It's a concept, snappyuk....and a very interesting one at that. If one forsees all the show car details, overall shape and detailing is very pleasing to the eye and would be a winner if it would ever end up being produced....Bravo!

Beautiful!

The production version will likely need a wider rear window, but I hope they maintain as much of the concept's styling as possible.
