6. Alfa Romeo BAT 7

The Alfa Romeo BAT 7 was designed by Franco Scaglione. Scaglione was known for designing the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale. The BAT 7 was built upon Alfa Romeo’s 1900 chassis and had a drag coefficient of 0.19. The term BAT is derived from “Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica”. The exterior of the BAT 7 looked like something that might have shown up in the 60’s Batman TV show, with sleek curves and fins on the rear fender that resembled the ears on Batman’s mask. The design of the BAT 7 and the other BAT vehicles is based on the study of aerodynamics. The design also aims to do away with any extra resistance generated by the wheels turning, as well as achieving a structure which would create the fewest possible air vortices.
