Alfa Romeo SZ (Sprint Zagato), 1992

Photo overview Alfa Romeo history Technical data
Video  -  Information

In the year 1989 Alfa Romeo presented the impressive ES-30 concept car on the Salon of Genève. The concept car was designed by Zagato. Alfa Romeo decided to bring the car into limited production by the name Alfa Romeo SZ. Only 1036 were built. De Alfa Romeo SZ can be seen as the successor of the Alfa Romeo Junior Zagato from the early seventies of the twentieth century. The SZ gives a similar sharp and balanced driving experience but it is much more powerful. Also the interior shows design influences inspired by the Junior Zagato.
The Alfa Romeo SZ was based upon the floor section of a group A Alfa Romeo 75 rally car. The body was manufactured of GRP.
The rear wheel drive SZ was propelled by the beautiful three liter Alfa Romeo V6 engine combined with a five speed manual gearbox. The road holding was fantastic and was praised by many drivers and journalists. The design of the SZ was controversial and eccentric yet very powerful. You love it or you hate it, there is nothing in between. Probably the latter group gave the car it's Italian nickname 'Il Mostro' (the monster). We think the SZ is a true piece of automobile art created by Zagato and a perfect example of fine sports car engineering by Alfa Romeo. The complete package is perfect, interior, exterior, road holding and mechanics. Very impressive is the look over the dash and the bonnet when you are in the drivers seat; stunning!
