TURIN, Italy, June 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Alcantara dressed the interior of the Alfa Romeo Tonale, winner of the prestigious 2019 Car Design Award for best concept car of the year at the 2019 Parco Valentino Turin Auto Show.
The awards ceremony, organized by Auto & Design magazine, took place June 19th in Turin, Italy.
The Alfa Romeo concept car's interior featured Alcantara material that offered a combination of aesthetic, technical and sensory qualities. The Tonale had a dark anthracite gray Alcantara headliner. Alcantara, the "Made in Italy" and Carbon Neutral material, is synonymous with sports thanks to its grip, wear resistance under extreme conditions and breathability.
To further personalize the concept car, designers selected a melange gray Alcantara to cover the floor with an innovative surface treatment designed to make it smoother to the touch and also further protect the quality of the material over time, despite its floorboard location.
The award underlines the successful partnership between Alcantara and Alfa Romeo, which has given birth to a variety of exceptional cars.
