Pininfarina 2uettottanta Concept

At the 2010 Geneva Motor Show Pininfarina has revealed the 2uettottanta, a design study of a lightweight two-seater spider which celebrates the 80th Anniversary of the Studio and pays homage to the legendary Alfa Romeo Duetto/Spider, produced from the 1960's until the 1990's.

The 2uettottanta evokes the name of the iconic Duetto and reminds the 80th anniversary of Pininfarina ('ottanta' means'eighty' in Italian).

The car is a 2-seater characterized by an elegant yet modern exterior design, with smooth and flowing lines. The main focus is on elegance and open-air driving experience.

The interior features essential controls, sporty bucket seats and leather and carbon fiber trims.

The main dimensions are a length of 4212.6 mm, a width of 1,797 mm a height 0f 1,280 mm and a wheelbase of 2500 mm.

The powertrain adopts a 1750 cc turbo engine positioned longitudinally, a reference to the “1750 Veloce” of 1968, one of the many versions derived from the 1st generation Alfa Duetto, nicknamed “Osso di Seppia” (Cuttlefish).
