1955 Alfa Romeo BAT-9
The BAT 5 was the first of the Bertone-Alfa Romeo BAT project. It was first shown at the Turin Auto Show in 1953. The design of the model was based on a study of aerodynamics. The shape of the front in fact aims to eliminate the problem of airflow disruption at high speeds. The design that Bertone came up with was for an extremely light car (1,100 kg (2,400 lb)), with side windows at a 45 degree angle with respect to the body of the car and a large windscreen which blends in with the almost flat roof.
