it was presented on Villa dŽEste 2014, its was a prototype made by the Frigerio Brothers of Lombardia.
At that moment the prototype had an Alfa Romeo 2000 engine   :o

Indeed, yes.
This is one seriously mouth-watering car, whether or not you like this kind of modern interpretation of a classic (it actually looks much more like a fifties classic than these things usually do).
Its maker was the Frigerio brothers' Officine Fratelli Frigerio, with a sumptuous interior by specialist Matteograssi.
Here are a couple more pictures:

It doesn't really get much better than this, does it?

Just one thing: It's looks deserve a small V12, or at least a twin cam straight six and all it has beneath that glorious bonnet is an Alfa 2 litre. Not a bad engine of course and a lovely crisp exhaust note to boot, but how much better would a sonorous, high revving V12 go with those luscious looks?   ;)

Yes, it would be icing on the cake, but I think I could live with the 2-litre Alfa engine in it!
