The Alfa Romeo Cuorerosso is a 2+2 concept coupe that previews the brand’s future design and powertrains. It debuted at the Paris Motor Show on October 12, 2026, with a hybrid version of Alfa’s 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6.
Alfa Romeo calls it a manifesto rather than a preview of a production car. Its ideas are meant to shape the models that come next.
Cuorerosso means “red heart” in Italian. The name joins the heart, a symbol of emotion, with red, the color of Alfa Romeo’s racing history.
Alfa built the concept around three pillars: Italy, sportiness and the color red. It also introduces Bellezza Necessaria, or “necessary beauty,” a design philosophy that keeps only what serves a purpose.
Powertrain
Full hybrid, Q4 AWD
Twin-turbo V6 with a torque-converter automatic and a carbon-fiber driveshaft.
Layout
Four-seat coupe
Four individual seats, rear-hinged rear doors, air suspension and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes.
*Concept figures from Alfa Romeo. Width is 78 inches (1,980 mm) and the wheelbase is 115.4 inches (2,930 mm).
The V6 comes from the same twin-turbo 2.9-liter family that powered the 505-hp Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio. Alfa Romeo UK lists the concept’s V6 at around 565 hp, working with a lithium-ion battery system of around 350 kW.
Air suspension and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes with Alfa Romeo calipers handle the chassis side. Our guide to Alfa Romeo Q4 all-wheel drive explains how the system works in today’s models.
The Cuorerosso is shown as a full hybrid, not an electric car. Alfa Romeo calls it multi-energy, meaning future models can use different powertrains without losing the brand’s character.
That future lineup is planned to include full-electric, plug-in hybrid, mild-hybrid and full-hybrid options. Here’s how they differ.
| Powertrain | Electric-only driving | Plugs in |
|---|---|---|
| Mild hybrid Battery assists the engine | No | No |
| Full hybrid Cuorerosso Engine and motor work together | Short distances | No | Plug-in hybrid Larger, rechargeable battery | Yes, longer range | Yes |
| Full electric Battery and motors only | Always | Yes |
General definitions. Alfa Romeo hasn't said which systems each future model will use.
For now, the 2026 lineup is gas-powered. The Giulia and Stelvio use a 280-hp turbocharged four-cylinder, and the Tonale uses a 268-hp 2.0-liter turbo.
Our guide to 2026 Alfa Romeo trim levels breaks down what each model includes.
Concept today. Alfa Romeo now.
The Cuorerosso shows where Alfa Romeo is headed. A Giulia, Stelvio or Tonale shows you why it matters, and we’ll have one ready for a drive.
Alfa’s Centro Stile spent only a week or two on sketches before moving to 3D modeling. Designers sculpted the car as a single solid block, without wheels or glass, and removed material until the form emerged.
The result has a drag coefficient of 0.28, helped by its uninterrupted shape, Coda Tronca tail and a diffuser built into the bodywork. Four of Alfa’s best-known design codes return in new form.
The Scudetto and Quadrifoglio badge both appear in contemporary form. There are no door handles: the doors open with a touch control on the roof, and the rear doors are hinged at the back.
The paint is a new Liquid Ink Red, layered over a fine aluminum base. It looks bright red in direct light and shifts toward black as the viewing angle changes.
The cabin seats four in individual sport seats, and the dashboard takes inspiration from both the 1967 and modern Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. Materials include hand-finished Poltrona Frau nubuck and a regenerated leather made with 60% post-industrial waste.
The centerpiece is the Cannocchiale Vivente, a moving version of Alfa’s telescope-style gauges. As driving gets more engaging, it shows less information and only what matters.
Steering is steer-by-wire, with a three-spoke wheel that keeps physical controls and haptic feedback. A “Magma Display” on the center tunnel combines a touch surface, rotary dial, drive mode selector and toggle switches.
The telescope theme is already in showrooms: the 2026 Tonale’s 12.3-inch cluster uses Alfa’s cannocchiale design, covered in our Alfa Romeo technology guide. For more on Alfa’s driver-first cabins, see our guide to Alfa Romeo interiors.
Not as shown. Alfa Romeo says the Cuorerosso is neither a preview of a production model nor a styling exercise, but a manifesto meant to inspire future cars.
Those future models will cover the market’s key segments at up to 4.7 meters (about 185 inches) long, with room for Quadrifoglio versions. Alfa hasn’t announced pricing, timing or which model will adopt the design first.
You don’t have to wait for the future to drive what the Cuorerosso celebrates. The Giulia and Stelvio offer Q4 all-wheel drive and Alfa’s DNA drive modes, and the Tonale brings the telescope-style cluster to a compact SUV.
The 505-hp Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio aren’t part of our new lineup, so the V6 is a pre-owned search. Check our pre-owned Alfa Romeo inventory for current availability, or start with our new inventory.

A 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 full hybrid, paired with Q4 all-wheel drive, a torque-converter automatic and a carbon-fiber driveshaft.
Alfa Romeo UK lists the V6 at around 565 hp, paired with a battery system of around 350 kW. A combined output hasn’t been published.
No. The concept is shown as a full hybrid, though future Alfa models will offer electric, plug-in hybrid, mild-hybrid and full-hybrid options.
Alfa Romeo hasn’t announced plans to build it. It’s a design manifesto meant to inspire future models, so there’s no price or release date.
