Alfa Romeo: Basis of the Carabo is a racing car
PROTOTYP Together with the tradition-steeped Milanese fashion house Larusmiani, Alfa Romeo is showing the Carabo concept car during Milan Design Week, which is based on the legendary Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale.
The famous Bertone Alfa Romeo Carabo body study from 1968 represents the opening of the permanent exhibition The Automotive Gallery of the new Larusmiani boutique in Milan. During Milan Design Week, this legendary car and the traditional Larusmiani fashion house, located in the elegant Monte Napoleone shopping district, are emblematic of the Made in Italy prescriptive.
Race car with road approval
A link between Alfa Romeo and Larusmiani was also created by architect Benedetto Camerana, who in 2015 renovated the Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese and is now responsible for the construction of the Larusmiani boutique.
With the Carabo, designer Marcello Gandhini and the carrossiers Bertone created a study based on the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale, an extremely lightweight road-legal racing car.
Raffaele Russo, Director Alfa Romeo Italy: "I am sure that the futuristic Carabo will cause great amazement among the public. The vehicle should also be an invitation to visit our museum in Arese."
