Georg Kacher, CAR Magazine?s usually well-informed European Editor, claims that ?a VW design team has secretly mapped out an alternative Alfa range? at VW?s Advanced Design Studio in Potsdam, Berlin and that, ?according to two independent sources, a small project team has been instructed to create a phantom Alfa line-up.?
Kacher makes the claim on the Insider pages of the September, 2010 issue of CAR Magazine and adds that the project team have ?been designing virtual cars in 3D, rather than full-scale clay models, with Volkswagen Group architectures underpinning each design. The next step is to review the tentative portfolio, and pass them onto Italdesign in Turin, which is now a VW subsidiary owned 90% by Audi and Lamborghini.?
