Today the Alfa Museum in Arese is closed. That’s fortunate for us, since Lorenzo Ardizio (48) has a lot of time for one. A distinct assisted trip through HIS spiritual halls Understood for quick forward: The very first ALPHA 24 HP from 1910, the fantastic Giulietta from 1954, the lovely Giulia from1962 Lorenzo looks adoringly, then states: “I have 3 Giulia GTs, from 66, 67 and 72.”
An Alpha individual’s mindset modifications just when we are ahead ’68 Carabo stop, this one wedge-shaped research study and Marcello Gandini, where scissor doors Open it and we recognize: “He appears like a Lamborghini number!” Lorenzo takes a look at us as if we are consuming carbonara with a spoon: “No, no, no!” He states, and after that: “The Countach appears like a Carabo.” Due to the fact that Lambo’s research study was composed, Bertone’s primary designer came. 3 years later on, in the year1971 “Lorenzo,” we now state, “prior to it gets far too late, please reveal us the secret cars!”
Two secret floorings loaded with classic Alfas
When the door opens once again, it’s like we’re inside parallel universe highlighted. Lorenzo stands beside the engine: “Our very first hybrid from the 70 s for Alfasud!” They put an electrical motor in the combustion engine, and the cylinders ought to switch off when the gas is launched. We would not rely on Alfa with that concept anymore than we made with the tank, under the cover of which the liquid combines with gasoline in case of a mishap. surges it is difficult strength Which Alfa 156 JTD the the very first diesel series and the common rail needle prior to Bosch purchased the patent– Lorenzo smiles a lot more A happy one
Progress likewise Alfasud: It came out in 1972, 2 years prior to Golf, a year previously He studied Caimano That thing looks like somebody’s little sibling Dam, however it has mass production innovation from Alfasud under the sheet metal, 1.3 four-cylinder and 86 hp. If you wish to get in, you need to fold the dome and the plexiglass windscreen. Difficult, however one murder program! Possibly research study, flat like Holland, pass under the barrier of the toll station; however Giugiaro has actually made holes left wing and ideal side to draw and spend for the ticket.
Wonders of area, one day cars, lessons
For both secret floorings The cars are so compacted that you need to pull them out to appreciate them. That New York Taxi. In 1975, the Museum of Modern Art requested propositions for Taxi smart, really little on the outdoors and huge on the within and not extremely thirsty. Alfa and Giugiaro had something to provide: a square box, except 4 meters, moving doors on each side at the back, area for the driver and 5 travelers. That lessons: Free Time of Z33, for example, another area wonder. The Zagato Designer thing is a little vehicle and dates from 1984, big glass surface areas, just 4 meters high, in brown color and 6 chairs.
We go by cars of the day like the Giulia that transformed to 4 doors in 1966, since President Giuseppe Saragat must not stroll when going to the factory And on musings like the Alfa 164 Procar, which they purchased in the late 1980 s. Formula 1 racing person transformed and thought up a series of exploring cars with racing innovation. The vehicle has a 3.5-liter V10 with 620 hp and it actually need to 329 km/ h i have actually done
Alfa has actually been gathering its history because 1956
286 lorries has an Alpha in it Collection gathered, 180 more in 2 halls. As early as 1956, Italians started to put aside their own history. Lorenzo reveals us 2 more models. He does not smile, he chuckles: “We checked this Giulia in Yugoslavia in 1959 due to the fact that there were couple of reporters there. And we have one in this 1750 Berlina. Writing rover stick to you people too integrate” Well, what can we state? We’re puzzled too, due to the fact that we’re taking a look at a lot of old Alphas at the very same time. caring having.
