They may look like Batmobiles from a bygone era, but what you see here is a trio of Alfa Romeo concept cars dreamed up by automotive designer Franco Scaglione and built by Nuccio Bertone in the mid-1950s. The Alfa Romeo BAT trio, (BAT stood for Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica), or technical aerodynamic sedan, were created to explore the theoretical possibilities of aerodynamic efficiency in automobiles of the time.
