Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 B MM Superleggera

Vehicle Overview

This Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 B MM Berlinetta Superleggera Touring finished 4th at the Mille Miglia on 4 April 1937 with Ercole Boratto and Battista Guidotti. It was the first Superleggera car to be produced The aerodynamics has always characterised Touring through a continuous stylistic evolution: even during war, Touring was able to create revolutionary designs introducing this new big Alfa Romeo scudetto (shield) feature, an element that would continue to typify Alfa Romeo from then on.  The 1937 “1000 Miglia” berlinetta is a further confirmation: the streamline design is fully dictated by the aerodynamics. But technically the eye is always on racing: the berlinetta, in fact, is to be considered as a milestone in the Touring’s history: it is the first “Superleggera” built with its tubular framework system on which the aluminium sheet is then hammered, the light weight is guaranteed with only 126 Kg body weight and a top speed of over 170km/h. Not bad for that time!
