If you are fortunate enough to own one the 18 (yes one eight) that were built, I think you’ll be the envy of most ‘Alfesti’ as well as a miscellany of other make ‘tragics’. It appears that this model was built by Alfa Romeo primarily for motorsport competition and achieved immediate success, eventually winning a manufacrurers’ championship with it. The wheelbase of the road-going version was slightly longer and the body design by Franco Scaglione (ex Bertone), simply stunning! Other designers’ versions of the same model never quite hit the mark that Scalione’s did. Powered by a 230 bhp V8 unit through a six speed transmission, propelled this beauty to an estimated top speed of 259 k/h.
