Alfa Romeo Sprint Speciale

Alfa Romeo originally developed the Giulietta Sprint Speciale specifically for motorsport in the Grand Tourisme class. The fact that the Giulietta Sprint Speciale ultimately did not achieve the expected success in racing likely contributed to its significant importance in the motorsport history of Alfa Romeo being forgotten and not receiving the recognition it deserves in the Alfa Romeo history books. Interestingly, the Giulietta Sprint Zagato, which later became extremely successful in motorsport, was actually a Giulietta Sprint Speciale that had been fitted with a body by Zagato.
