Alfa Romeo B.A.T. 7 concept (1954)
Concept car · 1954 · Combustion
The most extreme B.A.T., with a stunning 0.19 drag.
The second Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica, again penned by Franco Scaglione for Bertone on an Alfa Romeo 1900 base, the B.A.T. 7 pushed aerodynamics to its wildest extreme. Its lower nose and dramatic inward-curling tailfins yielded a drag coefficient of just 0.19, the lowest of the three B.A.T. cars. It remains the most exaggerated and iconic shape of the trilogy.
