Nuvola

The second half of the nineties saw a further strategic rethink in the design and corporate philosophy of Alfa Romeo, focusing on the company's historical and essential sporting background. The first concrete example of this ideological definition was the 1996 prototype, the Nuvola, considered the embodiment of these new ideas. With a highly suggestive character and aerodynamic styling, the Nuvola has rounded, sinuous lines, but subtle, almost imperceptible edges give these lines the feel of tensed muscles. The Nuvola represented the school of thought behind later models, such as the 147, 156 and 166.
