1967 Alfa Romeo Gran Sport Quattroruote (more pics below 👇)
A deliberate homage to the celebrated 6C 1750 Gran Sport Spider Zagato of the 1930s, the Gran Sport Quattroruote traces its origins to an article in the Italian motoring magazine of the same name, which prompted Alfa Romeo to partner with Milan coachbuilder Zagato for the bodywork.
The first prototype appeared in 1965, with the production version debuting at the 1966 New York Auto Show.
Production was limited to 92 left-hand-drive examples alongside 10 right-hand-drive cars, for a total of 102 built between 1965 and 1967.
Each was built on the 101-series Giulia Spider platform, with drivetrain components drawn from the 105-series Giulia TI, including a 1,570cc twin-cam four-cylinder producing 109 hp (SAE gross), paired with a five-speed manual.
The lightweight Zagato aluminum coachwork kept curb weight to around 1,984 pounds (900 kg), giving the Quattroruote noticeably quicker responses than comparable Alfas of the period.
