BAT 5 (1953)
BAT 7 (1954)
BAT 9 (1955)

Under the name Alfa Romeo Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica , or Alfa Romeo BAT for short , three vehicle studies were created in the 1950s based on drafts by the Italian aircraft designer and vehicle designer Franco Scaglione in cooperation with the body designer "Nuccio" Bertone , the son of the founder of the body construction company Bertone .

The vehicles that could be admired at car shows from 1953 to 1955 were developed for Alfa Romeo on the chassis of the Alfa Romeo 1900 Super Sprint , and should lead to a worthy successor to the legendary Alfa Romeo Disco Volante . The idea for the development of the BAT vehicles came about after a factory visit to the Turin-based bodywork forge Bertone . Four-cylinder in- line engines from our own company were used as drive units . The futuristic -looking bodies of the vehicles with the type designations BAT 5 (1953), BAT 7 (1954) and BAT 9 (1955) were particularly eye-catching due to their optimized streamlined shape ; the numbers 5, 7 and 9 are the factory study numbers assigned by Alfa Romeo . Already the BAT 5 reached due to its aerodynamic shape at c w values from 0.19 to 0.21, a top speed of nearly 200  km / h . The c w values ​​of the BAT 7 presented in the following year were even lower. Visually distinctive for the Type 7 are the oversized, rounded tail fins . An in-line engine with 1975  cm³ and an output of 86  kW was used for the Type 7 . The BAT 9 , which is much more restrained in its design, was equipped with the same basic engine, the streamlined shape of which has been further improved compared to the BAT 7 . Due to their shape and type designation, BAT vehicles are also referred to as Batmobile .

In 2008 a new project type of the Alfa Romeo Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica with the prototype number BAT 11 was presented.
