Several concept cars have been made by Alfa Romeo:

;1950s – The B.A.T. cars
The ''[[Alfa Romeo BAT|Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica]]'' prototype cars were designed by Bertone as an exercise in determining whether streamlining and wind-tunnel driven designs would result in high performance on a standard chassis and whether the resulting vehicles would be palatable to the public. Alfa 1900 Sprint were the basis of the B.A.T. 5, 7 and 9.<ref name="conceptcarz.com/vehicle">{{cite web|url=http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z4824/Alfa-Romeo-BAT-7.aspx|title=1954 Alfa Romeo B.A.T. 7|access-date=11 June 2009|work=conceptcarz.com/vehicle}}</ref> The later B.A.T. 11 was based on the 8C Competizione.

;1960s and 1970s – Descendants of the Tipo 33
The Tipo 33 racing car, with its high-revving 2000&nbsp;cc V8 engine became the basis for a number of different concept cars during the 1960s and 1970s, two of which ultimately resulted in production vehicles. Most made their appearances at the Auto Salon Genève. Here is a brief list:
* Gandini/Bertone Carabo (1968) – Marcello Gandini expressed ideas that would come to fruition in the Lamborghini Countach.
* Tipo 33.2 (1969) – Designed by Pininfarina using a design already known from a Ferrari concept car.
* Gandini/Bertone Montreal Concept (1967) – making its appearance at the 1967 Montreal Expo, this Giulia-based concept resulted in the production [[Alfa Romeo Montreal]] road car with a variant of the Tipo 33's V8 engine.
* Bertone/Giugiaro Navajo (1976) – A fully fibreglassed vehicle, and in some ways the epitome of Giugiaro's 'Origami' style of flat planes.

;1980s-today – Modern ideas
In general, concept cars for Alfa Romeo have generally become production vehicles, after some modification to make them suitable for manufacture, and to provide driver and passenger safety. The Zagato SZ, GTV, and Spider, Brera, and 159 are all good examples of Alfa Romeo's stylistic commitment in this direction.
