Alfa Romeo New York Taxi

The Alfa Romeo New York Taxi is a concept car designed by Ital Design in 1976 at the invitation of New York Museum of Modern Art.[1]

It is based on the front-wheel drive running gear of the Alfa Romeo F12 van, including a 1.3L petrol engine and independent suspension front and rear.[2]

Some of the concepts explored with the New York Taxi were expanded upon with the Lancia Megagamma, a less boxy, more streamlined prototype that gave form to the modern multi-purpose vehicle (MPV).[3]
