Carabo 50 years Homage Concept
This is a personal project and quick study over one of my favorites concepts ever, the Alfa Romeo Carabo, designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone in 1968.
This Homage Concept comes in a way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Carabo.
Mixing the old feeling with more modern and dynamic lines, this concept is a balance between the old and the new.
It brings hidden glasses merged with the body paint, which can only be seen through from the inside, creating this way a solid and continuous body shape. The front lights are also hidden underneath the bonet and can only be visible when turned on, recalling the Carabo's sober 'no face'. The rear has a high relief texture composed by thin rectanges, housing the lights in the extremities.
Powered by electric motors, the concept has the battery packs located in the rear.
Sleek and agressive, the Homage Concept brings back the timeless Carabo to the 21st century.
