1956 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce<\/h1>\n
\n

The arrival of the Giulietta Sprint in 1954 marked Alfa Romeo’s entrance into a new market sector – the medium sized car. Launched at the Turin Motor Show of that year, the Giulietta, available in Sprint, Spider and Berlina forms remained on the Alfa Romeo price list until 1965. The car was a racing triumph too, notching up successes in the Coupe des Alpes, the Daytona 3 Hours, the Sebring 12 Hours and the Targa Florio, collecting 500 wins along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

its cylinder capacity and dimensions were small, this Alfa deserves a place in the Alfa Romeo sports hall of fame for its combination of uncluttered, appealing lines reminiscent of a coupe, state-of-the-art mechanicals, good power-to-weight ratio and strong roadholding.<\/p>\n
