1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 Sprint Speciale

First presented as a prototype at the 1957 Torino Auto Show, using the Giulietta 1,290cc twin cam 4-cylinder, the Sprint Speciale was put into limited production to fit the FIA homologation regulations.

Between 1958 and 1962, a total of 1,366 new version examples of the Speciale were built. The design gained a higher nose, Kamm tail and improved interior appointments.

The Giulietta was replaced by the Giulia in 1963, and 1,400 examples were built through 1966.

At the end of the 1950s amateur drivers wanted something a bit better than the Giulietta Sprint and so Alfa Romeo came up with the Sprint Speciale, with its bold ‘aerodynamic’ body styled by Bertone’s Franco Scaglione. With its low Cd and the Giulietta Sprint Veloce engine it was good for close on 200km/h (124mph). The SS inherited the changes the rest of the range underwent and so in 1963 was given the Giulia’s 1570cc engine, offering more torque and an easier performance. Production was always limited, and just 1366 of the Sprint Speciale were made in total.
