ItalyAlfa Romeo unveiled the Cuorerosso at the Paris Motor Show on 12 October. It is a low 2+2 coupe concept that Alfa says does not preview a specific production car, but sets the direction for the brand’s next design and technology. The one drivetrain Alfa names is “a possible 2.9 V6 full-hybrid”, and it has given no power figure for it.
Size and chassis
The Cuorerosso is 4,700 mm long, 1,980 mm wide and 1,331 mm tall, with a stated weight of about 1,750 kg and a claimed drag coefficient of 0.28. It rides on air suspension, stops on Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes and uses steer-by-wire, where an electronic link replaces the mechanical steering column. These are concept figures, not a specification for a future road car.
The possible V6 hybrid
Alfa describes the top of a future range as a 2.9-litre V6 paired with a full-hybrid system and Q4 all-wheel drive. A full hybrid can move the car on electric power alone for short distances without being plugged in. Alfa has not given an output, a battery size or a date, and says no production powertrain is confirmed.
The same release points to a wider “multi-energy” plan covering fully electric, plug-in hybrid, mild-hybrid and full-hybrid cars. That fits a brand whose only electric model so far is the Junior, launched in 2024 as the first battery-electric Alfa. Alfa is part of Stellantis, whose sister brand Lancia previewed its Gamma ahead of the same show in our May report.
Inside
The cabin is a red, minimal space with bucket-style seats and a narrow strip of controls in place of a large touchscreen. The instrument display can switch between a conventional pair of dials and a single, simplified one.
