The maker’s only sports car of this kind with a one-off bodywork by Touring of Milan. The car’s biconvex profile and flattened shape resemble the wing of an aeroplane.
Later on Alfa Romeo built 10 or so racing-cars mounting 2-, 3- and 3.5-litre engines derived from this experimental prototype, one of which, the 6C 3000 CM, took Manuel Juan Fangio to second place in the 1953 Mille Miglia.
Fangio was also at the wheel of a similar model when he won the 1st Supercortemaggiore Grand Prix held at Merano the same year. |
