The Alfa Romeo Fascino ("Charm" in Italian) is a final year project created by Om Suthar, who graduated from Coventry University.

The concept was primarily aimed at studying the proportions and the fusion between a limousine and a Formula racer in order "to create the ultimate sports luxury vehicle."

The concept is targeted to wealthy and famous customers, always looking for original vehicles to stand out from the crowd.

The concept has an original seating layout with a diamond-shape bucket seats and long vacuum-formed gullwing doors.

The car was designed to be used during social events such as movie premieres: in this case the side seats can accomodate two body guards escorting the owner. The seats can also swivel around to provide space for a quick meeting.

Given the driver's seat center position, the Alfa Romeo Fascinop can be easily transformed from a limousine into a leisure car for the weekends.

Visually all the exterior lines are connected, apart from the side profile. The surface treatment is inspired by the visual trend of pinched surfaces, maintaining at the same time some styling elements typical of Alfa Romeo, especially in the front end.

The rear end is dominated by the centrally mounted carbon fiber exhaust pipe. The windshield is made of plastic in order to obtain the required curvature and to save weight.
