Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS 256 Coupé

Vehicle Overview

In 1939, Alfa Romeo launched the new 6C 2500, entrusting Enzo Ferrari, at the time head of Alfa Corse, to create a racing version out of it. The chassis was shortened and the engine tuned. Seven cars were assembled in Modena with racing bodywork by Touring. They were called Tipo 256. The racing achievements of the car convinced a few clients to ask for a road version of the Alfa Corse model, now also called 6C 2500 Super Sport. The production thus continued in Modena and a total of around 15 cars were completed in 1939, mainly bodied by Touring. Chassis 915012 is the first Tipo 256 chassis born without a racing coachwork, and is in fact the first ever road car built in Modena by Enzo Ferrari! Now part of the Lopresto Collection.
