The 1960s saw a second golden age in the competition history of Alfa Romeo. Models such as the SZ, TZ, and TZ2, along with the Tipo 33 sports racing prototypes, made Alfa Romeo a potent force on the world’s circuits. The exciting production racing classes were not ignored either, with the 105-series Giulia Sprint GT providing the base for a high..

Following up on the Spider 1750 Veloce and Spider 2000, Alfa Romeo’s svelte and desirable Pininfarina-designed Spider Veloce remains a definitive Italian sports car with a lusty and sonorous DOHC two-liter, four-cylinder powerplant, five-speed manual gearbox, and four-wheel disc brakes. Built with thoughtfully updated details, the Spider Veloce ..

Alfa Romeo’s first all-new postwar model introduced innovations that influenced the Italian automaker’s next half-century of sports car production. The 1900 series paired modern unibody construction with a twin-cam, inline four-cylinder engine featuring an aluminum head with hemispherical combustion chambers. Variants were constructed by Italy’s..

Having previously built large, expensive cars, Alfa Romeo found their bearings for mass production postwar in spectacular fashion by introducing the Giulietta in 1954. It was smaller than its forebear but gave up nothing to earlier Alfa Romeos in terms of technical sophistication or aesthetic character. Compared to the 6C, the Giulietta cost con..

In 1962, Alfa Romeo updated its 101-Series Giulietta Sprint Coupe. While appearing nearly identical to its predecessor, the new model was rebadged “Giulia” and received a number of improvements.

Launched in 1963, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone. The well-proportioned 2+2 coupe carried a distinctive scalino – or “stepnose” – front end where the hood’s leading edge sat above the nose. Largely borrowed from the 105-series sedan, underpinnings included a 1.6-liter, DOHC engine, taut chassis, in..

Presented at the 1950 Paris Motor Show, the Alfa Romeo 1900 was designed by Orazio Satta, a one-time understudy to 1930s Grand Prix engineer Wilfredo Ricart. The marque’s first assembly line-built model, the 1900 utilized unitary construction that specifically allowed coachbuilders to re-body it. Advertised as “the family car that wins races,” t..

Designed by Zagato’s Ercole Spada and debuted at the 1969 Torino Motor Show, the Junior Zagato satisfied Alfa Romeo’s desire for a more sophisticated and upscale alternative to the Giulia GT coupe. Initially powered by a 1,300 cc engine, the 1,600 cc derivative was launched for the 1972 model year, allowing use of the entire Giulia Spider floor ..

The Italian Superturismo Championship was started in 1987 as Italy’s national motor sports series for touring cars. Originally run using FIA’s Group A specification, the series shifted to the new Superturismo category of cars in the early 1990s. Alfa Romeo brought its rich history in racing to the Superturismo series with a variant of its 155 se..

The 6C 2500, introduced in 1938, was the final Alfa Romeo model powered by a Vittorio Jano-designed engine. Jano’s six- and eight-cylinder engines, some of the most revered in the automotive world, powered Alfa Romeo’s finest offerings before and after WWII. At the top of the 6C 2500 range was the Super Sport model, or SS, which benefited from a..
