The Alfa Romeo Visconti is a concept car made by the Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. The car was seen for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show in 2004. The car is a four-door fastback coupé/sedan and is almost 5 metres (200 in) long. Under the bonnet is a 3.2-litre V6 JTS biturbo engine, which produces 405 PS (298 kW; 399 hp) at 6000 rpm and 680 N⋅m (502 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 2000 rpm.

The car is front-engined all-wheel-drive assisted with rear-wheel steering,^[2] with a six-speed automatic gearbox and Brembo's composite ceramic brake discs all-round.

The name Visconti comes from old Milanese family ancestry. Their coat of arms, a snake rebirthing a person, is part of the logo of Alfa Romeo.^[2]
