The "33 Stradale" is considered one of the "most-beautiful-design-ever" sportscars, with its superb 2 litre V8-90° engine, for dramatic performance. Its advanced magnesium frame weighs only 54 kg. The "Stradale" represented the return of the 8 cylinder engine for Alfa Romeo. Designed by Franco Scaglione, built by Autodelta, in the factory of Settimo Milanese.

Body:.............Bertone

The 1954 "2000 Sportiva" is one of the most finest example of Italian design (by Franco Scaglione, signed as "Bertone" on the body): it's a "gran turismo" based on "1900" engine, 5 speed gearbox, "De Dion" rear suspension. This technical solution anticipated the 1972 "Alfetta".

Celebrating the 90th anniversary of Le Mans, this unique car was designed and engineered for the 1938 Le Mans 24 hour endurance race, driven by Biondetti and Sommer. The "8C 2900" led for a long time before retiring with a valve breakdown. This "8C" is one of the most outstanding Alfa Romeo cars ever made: the engine is the same of the "P3" single-seater, the beautiful design representing the pinnacle of Carrozzeria Touring.

This model is equipped with the twin cam in-line 4 engine from the US market version, with "Spica" indirect injection. For this reason the "Am" stands for "America". The best race performer with "GT Am" was Toine Hezemans, the "flying Dutch".

With its mechanical philosophy – power and performance – it could be considered a Formula 1 car with covered wheels. The "33 TT 12" was the winner of the 1975 Manufacturers' World Championship, driven by several top drivers: Merzario (the best performer), Andretti, Bell, Laffite, Mass, Pescarolo, Brambilla, Ickx, Facetti, Stommelen, Scheckter.
