Introduction
In
1960 The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Zagato was the lightest, smallest, best streamlined, most powerful and therefore the fastest of the entire Alfa Romeo range of cars.
The 1290cc aluminium twin-cam engine was capable of producing speeds of 121.8 mph. The handmade Zagato bodies were extremely lightweight and
aerodynamic. The SZs had a long and successful racing life of almost eight years, which is very long for one model.
The SZs dominated their racing class and won many events, some of them major International rallies and races. Today their strongest competition comes from Lotus Elites, the same car they battled with in the 1960s.
They are much sought after these days by vintage racers and collectors around the world.
