Concept car introduced at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show.
Country of origin: Italy

To give the car comfort of a saloon Kamal was designed with double wishbone suspension all round. This layout makes driving extremely enjoyable, combining the complete control typical of front wheel drive with exceptional sportiness and pinpoint accuracy, exploited in full on mixed routes. What is more Kamal suspension has height adjustable air springs which are lowered automatically when a certain speed is reached: the effect is that of a car that really grips the road. That is not all. The driver can adjust the suspension height according to the type of use: higher off the road, lower on the road.

Kamal was designed to tackle any situation on the road and any climatic condition. Without cutting corners. This is borne out by the reinforced live axle as well as the adoption of 4 wheel drive with electronic control, with three differentials and Torsen system, which splits the torque variably between the front and rear wheels. Kamal's 'all-terrain' temperament is enhanced by the aluminium protection around the chassis and engine, and 20" Pirelli Scorpion tyres, with mix and tread designed specifically for Alfa Romeo.
