Alfa Romeo Proteo
The Alfa Romeo Proteo concept car was released at the Geneva Motor Show in 1991. It is a 2-door coupé cabriolet (folding roof) featuring a 3.0 liter quad-cam 24-valve (2959 cc), 60 degree V6 coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission, with a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).[1] The engine used in Proteo produces 260 PS (191 kW; 256 hp). The Proteo uses shortened floorpan used in Alfa Romeo 164 and features four wheel drive and steering.[2] Many of the Proteo's design cues were influenced by the Alfa Romeo 916 series GTV/Spider, which was designed in July 1988.[3]
