These are the first pictures of Stile Bertone's Pandion concept, leaked out onto the web ahead of its eagerly anticipated debut at next month's Geneva motor show.

Based on Alfa's breathtakingly beautiful 8C Competizione, the Pandion is a 2+2 seat vehicle whose name is derived from a mythical Greek king (the name is also used to describe birds of prey such as the Osprey). Judging from these low-res photos, the dominating design element is its large glass canopy and characterful DLO that blends into the front and rear wheel arches.

Just as rival design house Pininfarina has created an Alfa Romeo based concept for the forthcoming Swiss show, Stile Bertone's show car will celebrate the Italian carmaker's 100th birthday. We'll bring you more details and our own exclusive images when we see the concept on 2 March.
