The flying saucer
Hardly offers more space with a drag coefficient of 0.30, extremely Streamlined Disco Volante. The only two times built “flying saucer” is one of the most extravagant cars from Alfa Romeo. The four meters and 1.06 meters short flat 1900 C52, as it is officially does, from a two-liter four-cylinder makes 158 hp and the flounder 225 km / h fast. Remarkable is also the arrangement of the transmission. By distorting the position of the first course is on the right front, which added together with the right-hand-at least in our test laps on the Italian Balocco confusion.
Less confusion, the Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM (Competizione Maggiorata), which ranked Juan Manuel Fangio in 1953 to second place at the Mille Miglia. The drilled out to 3.5-liter six-cylinder hoarding up to 275 horsepower under the hood and makes elegant coupe and spider about 260 km / h fast.
Beautiful image prototypes
Alfa Romeo built only two specimens from the picturesque Sportiva 2000. It was planned as a limited edition, but neither made it out as a coupe or as a spider on the prototype stage. Here, both the high-revving four-cylinder as well as the DeDion chassis ahead of its time.
Almost daily use even today proves the Giulia TI Super 1600 from the year 1963. Limited to 500 copies super version was around 100 kilograms lighter than the better-known TI-variant. If one day connect the occupant’s eyes, they would hardly notice that they are traveling in a 50-year-old car. The five-speed manual transmission is crisp, the suspension from today’s perspective, extremely comfortable, although it then so was the sportiest quite what it was in the sedan class. When the brakes are familiar from the 1964 discs all around, except for the usual time. Who are the 113 hp (from 1.6 liters) of less than 1000 kg fully utilizing light Giulia, was up to 190 km / h fast. The space of 4.11 meters short dream car was enough for four people. The trunk is measured at the driving part of huge size.
