2007 FRANKFURT IAA MOTOR SHOW

03.09.2007 STYLIST ENNIO CAPASA GIVES THE ALFA 147 A MAKEOVER

Alfa Romeo returns to the Frankfurt International Motor Show with an exciting stand that highlights the sinuous styling of its cars. The display area is created with innovative, luxurious materials, and black and white alternate which, combined with the simple, straightforward design, helps to create a sophisticated atmosphere that conveys Italian technology and excellence to perfection.

The Frankfurt show will see the debut on the Alfa Romeo stand of the new Alfa 147 C’N’C CoSTUME NATIONAL, the fruit of collaboration between Alfa Romeo and stylist Ennio Capasa. The changes made to the car were inspired by the music world – Pop, Indie, and Garage – by ‘street culture’ and by the multimedia world.

This special series will have a production run of 1000, and will be characterised not only by the exclusive Eldorado White paintwork with its exclusive mother-of-pearl effect (Polar White for the normal output), and by special refined details like the chrome-plated exhaust terminal, glossy black wing mirror cases, darkened rear lights and exclusive painted, sparkle-effect 17” wheels with their aeronautical design. And the ‘147 C’N’C’ logos on the pillars and tailgate add an extra touch of refinement.

The dark shades of the interior create an elegant dynamic environment, with seats upholstered in leather and perforated Alcantara with a jacquard tone-on-tone pattern, and a contrast between the black varnished pillars, ceiling and trims and the white of the bodywork. The sporty personality of the 147 C’N’C CoSTUME NATIONAL is also evident in other details like the red background of the instruments with white lighting, carpeting mats with identity plate and aluminium heel-high strips.

The version on display is a 5-door, equipped with the sparkling 150 bhp 1.9 JTDM engine; the most sophisticated safety features are standard equipment - from VDC to ASR, ABS complete with EBD and 6 airbags - and there is a wide range of options: a Bose® Hi-Fi system with subwoofer, low suspension settings, Xenon headlights, satellite navigator and antitheft system.
