Alfa Romeo is ushering in its new era—not with another SUV, but with a gorgeous GT concept instead. The Italian automaker is unveiling its new performance car concept at the 2026 Paris Motor Show with four doors, four seats, and yes, a real gas engine.

Meet the Alfa Romeo Cuorerosso, a striking concept that previews Alfa Romeo's future design language while offering a glimpse at how the brand could approach performance in an increasingly electrified automotive world.

Alfa Romeo says the concept was developed as a "multi-energy" manifesto, meaning it could eventually be adapted to hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or even fully electric powertrains. For now, the Cuorerosso is built around something enthusiasts should recognize: the brand's iconic twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6.

Some of the early Cuorerosso teasers made it seem like Alfa Romeo was preparing another gorgeous two-door sports car. Clearly, that’s not the case. The finished concept is a four-door performance car with four seats, as shown in the early teasers.

The Cuorerosso isn’t massive, either—it’s about as long as a Lexus IS or Tesla Model 3. Alfa says the dimensions are deliberately realistic, with enough rear headroom to fit two normal-sized adults. Here's what those dimensions look like:

Underneath the bodywork is the same 2.9-liter V6 used by the current Giulia and Stelvio Quadrifoglio. Alfa Romeo hasn't announced an output figure for the Cuorerosso, but the company says electrification could push its power beyond the current high-performance benchmark.

The concept could also feature all-wheel drive as part of its electrified setup.
