The BAT cars

[Steve Webb]

The original Alfa BAT cars were created between 1953 and 1955, but there is a little know of 4th BAT car. This one was created in 2008.
It takes its styling cues from the original 3 BAT cars, the BAT 5,7 and 9. And is surprisingly called the BAT 11

Somehow doesn't have the wow factor that the original 3 car had.

I love the BAT cars...considering when they were built they were really "out there".

You're right, shown alongside the other three, the new one doesn't quite work.

Absolutely, the first 2 in particular look like cars from 'The Jetsons' . Something from a Sci-Fi film you could drive on the road.

I guess its getting harder and harder to create something that gets that sort of reaction these days.
