A teaser was released for the Stile Bertone concept version of the Alfa Romeo 159.  As we previously reported, Alfa has commissioned three different versions of the 159, each to debut in Geneva.

The other concepts will be created by Fiat's other two major design houses, Pininfarina and Italdesign Giugiaro. Pininfarina has already released their teaser proposal for a two-seater spider concept.

This 2+2 car uses the 444 hp (450 PS / 331 kW) V8 engine from the 8C Competizione, according to Autoblog.it.  In an interview with the blog, the firm's chair, Lilli Bertone, said, "...we are on track to launch the centenary, which we will celebrate in 2012."

The Alfa Romeo 159 concepts will celebrate Alfa's 100th anniversary when they are debuted in Geneva this March.  Bertone's design is expected to be a two-door coupe.

Am I the only one seeing a BMW EfficientDynamics Concept design inspiration here or are my eyes deceiving me? I know which one it is! However, actual clay concept and production version could be more decisive. It's high time we see a new GTV anyway!

I agree the sketch reminds us of the BMW concept. but if you think of the previous designs from Alfa, this suits it. so I'm still be interested in seeing the full concept yb ALfa. I like that idea where the headlight are pushed back. suits the Challanger and the dare I asay it the mustang.

That 'Y' shape reminded me of a couple of Honda concepts, like the FC Sports or that P-NUT thing. I'm sure though that it will end up being the usual triangular grille and some nice narrow headlights. Maybe taking inspiration from the Bertone-styled Montreal?

Bertone seemed to lose their edge long before bankruptcy. I'd like to see them emerge as a strong studio. There is too little attractive and original design available. The existence of any firm that produces true style is positive.

This sketch doesn't yet do it for me. It looks like it could be the front of the upcoming edition of the 147th concept to wear the B.A.T. initials.
