Italdesign's carbon-and-aluminium mid-engined Alfa supercar
Designed by Fabrizio Giugiaro and built by Italdesign, the Scighera ('mist' in Milanese dialect) was a mid-engined supercar concept with an aluminium body over an aluminium-carbon-fibre composite frame. Its 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 produced 400 hp driving a 155-derived all-wheel-drive system, and removable gull-wing side windows could turn it into an open roadster.
