Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint

Vehicle Overview

The portello platform of the two-litre wa snot an easy one, but still a four seater coupé was created that comprised a number of innovative features like the front end with all-in-one radiator grill and headlights, the extremly shot tail, the armonius and extensive roof group, integrated themselves into a complex design of admirable cleanliness and elegance. The creative inspiration fo Giorgetto Giugiaro and the experience of the master carrozziere developped by Nuccio Bertone over the years, constitued a winning duo for a long period in the world of the italian carrozzieri. Between 1960 and 1962, Bertone built and delivered 700 finished bodyshell for the 2000 sprint. When Alfa Romeo replaced the 2000 saloon with the 2600, the 2000 sprint was also updated by Bertone in its mechanics (six-cylinder 2584 cc engine, 145 hp at 5900 rpm) and body, with one particular update clerly evident -an air intake on the bonnet aimed at improving the feed to the three twin-choke carburettors. The car maximum speed was increased from 175 to 200 km/h.
