Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint
(1961 - 1966)
Car articles about Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint by year
In 1961, the magazine 'hobby' "cross-examined" affordable sports cars. Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint, Fiat 1500 Spider, MG A, MG A Twin Cam, Triumph TR 3, Porsche 1600 and 1600 S, as well as Sunbeam Alpine and Mercedes-Benz 190 SL were contrasted and compared. And the winner? Read for yourself! Let's just say that although the most expensive car was almost twice as expensive as the cheapest, the best sports car scored just under 3% better than the worst. This report edits the comparison test of the time and supplements it with many contemporary photos and sales brochures of the vehicles involved. To revel in!
In 1962, a good seven years after its first appearance, the Giulietta had collected a thin layer of dust in terms of both construction and design. The rigid rear axle is occasionally noticeable and the poor all-round visibility also shows that the pretty coupé is more in line with the automotive chronology of the 1950s. Thanks to its great twin-cam engine and the Bertone body, the Giulietta Sprint has hardly lost any of its appeal. The original test report from 1962 is accompanied by a wealth of historical images and sales documents.
The elegant coupé that Bertone presented in Turin in 1957 only had an engine capacity of 1.3 liters, but it was capable of a top speed of over 200 km/h. Impressive. A racing career was on the cards, but things turned out differently. With almost 2800 units produced, the Granturismo coupé was certainly a commercial success and it is still popular today and much admired for its unusual design. This report portrays a 1.6-liter Giulia from 1964 and shows it in many current and historical pictures, which also impressively illustrate its predecessors.
Between 1965 and 1969, Alfa Romeo built 500 examples of the Giulia Sprint GTA as the basis for racing. While the "Corsa" versions were responsible for hundreds of international victories and many championship titles, the "Stradale" version offered suitability for everyday use and unrivaled performance in this class. Driving to work during the week and taking part in hill climbs at the weekend was the motto for the GTA. This report portrays an Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA from 1966, goes into the technical concept and shows the GTAs in current and historical images.
The Alfa Romeo 1750 GT Veloce and its relatives Giulia Sprint GT to 2000 GTV are among the most popular classic coupés ever. Between 1963 and 1977, around 225,000 left the Alfa Romeo production facilities. The fast GTA versions caused a sensation on the racetracks for years. This report is mainly dedicated to the version presented in 1967 with the 1.8-liter twin-camshaft engine, but the entire history is also briefly described. The report is supplemented by almost 100 pictures - contemporary and historical - as well as sales brochures, sound samples and technical data.
