Student renders Alfa build this ‘6C’ supercar. Should Alfa build it?

It is in fact, a design study by a chap called Alex Imnadze, a student of the highly regarded IED Torino (who were 2005 winners of the Ferrari World Design Contest and runners up in 2011), and proud fan of Alfa and Pininfarina’s rich design heritage.

He says he cooked up this rendering - which is no way real at all, unless you’re in The Matrix - as a competitor for the new Chevrolet Corvette; “an Italian muscle car, if it’s possible to say”, he tells us.

And it certainly looks striking. Front-engined (no word, probably the 450bhp 4.7-litre V8), rear-wheel-drive and with hints of the Alfa Romeo Montreal at the front, together with snippets of the rather delectable Alfa 2uettottanta concept, the gorgeous 8C and of course, the original Alfa Romeo 6C. Shame there’s no whisper of the bite-the-back-of-your-hand beautiful Alfa 33 Stradale, but we’ve always got the upcoming 4C for that.

Have a click through the pictures and let us know: reckon Alfa should build something like this 6C?

Kid walking dog stops to play in the puddle

> I love how careful he was when he set the leash down.

> Enjoy your water, tiny human, but the joke is on you. When you get home with wet paws, the older humans will shout at you for staining their floors.

> Such a good dog.

> The whole time I was watching this I was thinking :

 I hate being an adult.

> Human. What is the tiny person doing?

> Another video showing that kids are just drunk adults.
