Created as part of an ambitious aerodynamic experiment, the 1954 Alfa Romeo B.A.T. 7 quickly came to be seen as the most visually arresting and conceptually daring of the three Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica studies. Conceived by Franco Scaglione for Bertone, it represented a moment when imagination and science moved in perfect synchrony. First unveiled at the Turin Motor Show, the B.A.T. 7 startled audiences with a form unlike anything on the road at the time.

Designer Cheeheon Lee clearly remembers, and his Alfa Romeo Vita Nova concept is a love letter to when the Milanese marque built actual rockets with four wheels. This isn't some half-hearted styling exercise or student portfolio piece. Lee has crafted something that looks like it rolled straight out of a future where Alfa never lost its way, where every car they made could demolish a Nürburgring lap time and look devastatingly gorgeous doing it.
