Alfa 147 5-door

Exterior Styling

Updating the styling of an acknowledged classic like the Alfa 147 was a somewhat daunting prospect for the team at Centro Stile, Alfa Romeo's design studio in Milan. However, what they have achieved is nothing less than a ‘tour de force’ of automotive artistry - lines, shapes and volumes that combine in visual harmony to give it a radical, bold and up-to-the-minute appearance.

Most noticeable is the front end, which sees dramatic front light clusters that result in a sleek, aggressive appearance for the car. In the centre, a prominent shield is the focal point of two converging bonnet contours that intensify the sense of speed and performance, whilst the spoiler section endows the car with a powerful street presence.

At the side, flared wheel arches and wide wheels confirm the road holding capabilities of the Alfa 147, and at the back there are the perfectly designed rear lights and bumper.
