The 1997 Italdesign Scighera, also known as the Alfa Romeo Scighera, is a futuristically styled concept car developed by Italdesign.

Named after "mist” in Milanese dialect, the Scighera's styling has bonnet arosing directly from the grille shield and incorporation of a spoiler derived from Formula 1 cars, emphasised by a "clown-eyed" headlight motif.

The windscreen takes inspiration from cars of the 1950s and 1960s, with windows lifted in a gull wing which can be removed for conversion to an open top.

Its technical components from Alfa Romeo includes a 3 litre, 400 hp mid-longitudinal biturbo V6 engine coupled with a four-wheel drive system.

Games

Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit

The Scighera appears in the PC release of Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit as a class A vehicle.

It has quick acceleration and good top speed, although its steering is not as responsive as the Ferrari 550 Maranello or Lamborghini Diablo SV.

Description

“	The Italdesign Scighera is a stunning interpretation of a road-going Alfa Romeo sports supercar that can also be raced. The road car uses a chassis made from aluminum and carbon fiber with an all aluminum body. The racing version boasts full carbon fiber bodywork for extra lightness. Power comes from an Alfa Romeo three liter twin-turbo V6 putting out a hefty 400 horsepower. A 6-speed sequential gearbox is located between driver and passenger for optimum weight distribution. The Scighera breaks new ground as a mid-engine car by moving away from the single box shape of other cars of this configuration, and embracing dynamic new design influences. Unique front suspension uses just one shock absorber while contributing towards superbly agile handling. Inside, the car features the finest Connolly leather upholstery. The driver's seat is fixed, other than for rake, and pedals in steering column are fully adjustable - this provides for outstanding access and a superb driving position for drivers of all sizes. The Scighera has a top speed of over 185 miles per hour, performance territory most rival supercars can't match.	”
