Why was this car named Canguro? This is the 1964 Alfa Romeo Canguro concept car. Canguro is Italian for Kangaroo. Why? Why Kangaroo? I can't seem to find an answer. Do you know?

It must be because of its speed

Maybe the designer has not seen a kangaroo before

Makes sense.

That "speed" explanation is worth exploring especially because this car was crashed by a journalist that took it for a spin for a story. That's one of the main reasons the car never made it into production.

Alfa Romeo and designing masterpieces of art called vehicles should be studied a a full course.

I dey tell u, although most of the credit goes to the actual design firm for each vehicle. the automaker itself is essentially a fabrication or construction company. As for this concept car called Canguro, it was designed by a young talent called Giugiarro. He was working for Gruppo Bertone at that time. Bertone is responsible for most of the fantastic cars, ever, although the company went out of business in 2014.

You do know your car stuff. Keep it up.
You are right. The actual credit goes to the designers themselves. The automakers just sign off on the designs.
Oh! Do watch this video and enjoy..

Thanks for the compliment. I do my best. And thanks for the video. I watched it. Yeah, there's a difference between a work of art and a piece of art. The 8C definitely cuts it.
