Giulietta

Over the course of its history, Alfa Romeo has produced three models with the Giulietta name. The first was the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/alfa-romeo/giulietta/750101/">Giulietta Type 750 /101 (1954-1964)</a>, the second was the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/alfa-romeo/giulietta/116/">Nuova Giulietta Type 116 (1977-1985)</a>, and the third is the modern <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/alfa-romeo/giulietta/940/">Giuletta Type 940 (2010-)</a>. These cars share very little apart from their name as there were each built in different eras for different purposes.

750/101

Alfa Romeo first introduced the Giulietta family of cars in 1954 with the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/alfa-romeo/giulietta/750101/sprint/">Giulietta Sprint</a>. The Sprint was a 2+2 coupe and was the first body style to be released. Later Alfa would also release a <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/alfa-romeo/giulietta/750101/berlina/">Berlina (sedan)</a>, and <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/alfa-romeo/giulietta/750101/spider/">Spider (convertible)</a>, as well as the rarer <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/alfa-romeo/giulietta/750101/sprint/speciale/">Sprint Speciale (two seat coupe)</a> and Promiscua (estate). Giulietta variants were all powered by 1.3L inline four engines. The Giulietta Berlina was in production until 1964, yet the Sprint, Spider, and Sprint Speciale were rebranded as Giulia cars in 1963, essentially still the same cars as before, but fitted with a 1.6L engine.

Sprint Zagato

Zagato

A special run of racing focused <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/alfa-romeo/giulietta/750101/">Alfa Romeo Giuliettas</a> first appeared in 1956. Bodied by famous Italian design house Zagato, these Giuliettas are known as the Sprint Zagato. Three main versions of the Sprint Zagato, or SZ were produced. Originally, Zagato rebodied a crashed <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/alfa-romeo/giulietta/750101/sprint/veloce/">Sprint Veloce</a> for the purpose of racing, and due to this car&#39;s success, a further 18 examples were produced. These Sprint Veloce based Zagatos were known as the SVZ, and were the first Zagato Giullietas. In 1960, a production competition version of the SVZ appeared. Called the SZ, this production version was based on the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/alfa-romeo/giulietta/750101/sprint/speciale/">Sprint Speciale</a> and featured a defining round tail &quot;Coda Tonda.&quot; Near the end of production, a second version was produced, this time featured a short Kamm-style tail known as the &quot;Coda Tronca.&quot; These &quot;Coda Tronca&quot; cars are also referred to as the SZ2, in order to differentiate from the the &quot;Coda Tonda&quot; roundtails. An estimated 220 examples were produced, of those less than 40 are believed to be SZ2 &quot;Coda Tronca&quot; cars. Due to the nature of Zagato&#39;s work, exact numbers are hard to verify as the company often rebodied existing Giuliettas to customer specifications. The Sprint Zagato Giuliettas were in production until 1962.

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Speciale is one of the most sought and desired of all Giullieta variants.

Styled by Bertone and powered by a 99hp 1.3L inline four engine, the SS represented the top of the line for the standard Guilietta range. The first 101 cars made were known as the &quot;low nose&quot; as they featured a lowered front profile and were called the 750 SS. These 750 SS cars were built for the purpose of homologation for FIA racing series. A further 1,261 examples of the SS were built, bringing the total number of Giulietta SS cars produced to 1,366 before the end of production.
