S'il est vrai que la Mercedes-Benz W196R presque rivale a Ă©tĂ© vendue pour 21,7 millions d'euros, on peut estimer pour l'Alfetta si jamais elle est un jour vendue un prix entre 15 et 20 millions d'euros. 11 / 12 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Lungo Spider Touring 1939 - 17,7 millions d'euros Pour revenir au monde des certitudes, on retrouve la reine des Alfa, l'Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Long Spider Touring de 1939, qui a changĂ© de mains en 2016 pour 17,7 millions d'euros, un chiffre record pour la marque italienne.

Estimate$600,000 - $800,000 USD A thrilling Alfa Romeo featuring timeless Zagato Spider stylingPowered by a supercharged twin-cam 6C engine and four-speed gearboxRides on a correct 108-inch wheelbase, with documented period-correct components throughoutAcquired by Oscar Davis in 2009 from the late Myron Schuster Exhaustively evaluated and maintained by George Historic Motorcars In 1926, Alfa Romeoâs Chief Engineer, Vittorio Jano, set to work on a touring car that was centered around the brand-new overhead-cam, inline six-cylinder engine. The 6C 1500 officially entered production in 1927, and the Sport version, which became available a year later, featured a twin overhead cam that raised output by 10 to a brisk 54 horsepower. In 1929, the 6C 1500 Super Sport was introduced, and it featured two-seat spider coachwork and an optional Roots supercharger, which increased maximum power to 76. For the 1929 model year, Alfa Romeo bumped up engine displacement to 1,750 cubic centimeters, and the resulting 6C 1750 was produced in four more series of gradual improvements over the following six years. The model quickly proved to be one of Alfaâs most popular, and expensive, creations. Nearly 2,600 left the Portobello factory through 1933, each one tabbed at a price hovering around 50,000 lireâan incredible cost considering that most orders left the factory as bare examples of the 6C 1750 series were equipped as the single-cam âTurismoâ version. A minority were classified as a âSportâ version, which were built on a 114-inch chassis and equipped with the twin-cam engine. Of the Sport examples, most were clothed with Alfa saloon coachwork and were soon more appropriately renamed âGran Turismo.â A further, compelling addition to the catalogue was the the topless, Zagato-bodied Super Sport, which rode on an even-shorter 108-inch wheelbase and was available with finned alloy superchargers and intake manifolds to further boost power delivery. These high-performance spiders are some of the rarest and most desirable pre-war models available to discerning 1930, the Super Sport name was updated to Gran Sport. Additional modifications featured an ingenious sloping grille that not only gave the car a more rakish appearance, but also functionally increased the surface area of the radiator for improved cooling. The 6C 1750 series was, quite simply, the fastest road-racing car available at the timeâwinning nearly every race it OSCAR DAVIS 6C 1750This 6C 1750 was acquired by Oscar Davis in September 2009 from the late Myron Schuster of Baldwin Park, New York. Little is known of the carâs history; according to research compiled by marque expert John de Boer, the 1930 Alfa Romeo 6C Gran Sport bearing the chassis number 8513032 was originally fitted with a Touring-built body that closely resembled the more frequently seen spider coachwork by Zagato. This car disappeared from the public eye circa August 1950, however, and its eventual fate is uncertain. Some years later, this 6C 1750 surfaced in the possession of an Italian enthusiast. It is believed that he assembled the car from Alfa Romeo components from within his collection; any relationship to the earlier car bearing chassis number 8513032 is, at the present, unclear. Davis, endeavoring to learn more about the composition of this car, commissioned George Historic Motorcars of Cochranville, Pennsylvania to complete a full metallurgical analysis and component sequencing report. As George was already the Davisâ choice for maintenance concerns on this Alfa Romeo, they were the ideal firm to shed light on exactly the sort of components which had been assembled to create this 6C 1750 Gran Sport. According to their report, the car is powered by the correct-type supercharged twin-cam Gran Sport engine that shows the crankcase stamping â6C 8513032;â an original-type Memini carburetor is fitted to the supercharger. It is presently believed that the carâs correct 108-inch wheelbase chassis has been restamped to match this crankcase. George notes that the carâs four-speed gearbox, rear differential, and steering box are likely sourced from a Series IV 6C 1750 Gran Turismo. The full analysis of the carâs composition by George is available on file. The very epitome of an early-1930s race car, the Oscar Davis Collectionâs 6C 1750 is a fitting tribute not only to those who designed, constructed, and drove these magnificent cars originally, but also to the remarkable enthusiasm and sheer tenacity of its late owner. Impeccably presented and painstakingly restored, it offers a splendid driving experience and fascinating insight into the 6Câs illustrious competition-driven history.

The Ex-Fred Stiles â1930s British Alfa Romeo Concessionaireâ Registration FGU 108 Chassis Nr. See text Engine Nr. 10814381 Unique Alfa Romeo 1750 Testa Fissa with exquisitely well-proportioned and handsome Stiles Threesomeâ bodywork by the leading British coachbuilder, James Young Ltd, Not only a well-known car upon the British Vintage motoring scene, it has also been in the past ownership of a leading British Vintagentâ and noted Alfa Romeo restorer for no fewer than 47 years. One Of what are understood to be only 12 original Testa Fissa â Fixed headâ â Alfa Romeo 6C-1750 Engines known to have been manufactured, three were dispatched from Italy to England to compete in the 1930 RAC Tourist Trophy race at Ards in Northern Ireland. These cars were to be driven by the three towering Italian superstar racing drivers of the period; Tazio Nuvolari, Achille Varzi and Giuseppe Campari. The cars were entrusted to the contemporary British Alfa Romeo concessionaire Mr. Stiles of Alfa Romeo British Sales Limited, and one of his mechanics â Bernard Arlidge â recalled to FGUâs previous long term owner that he drove one of these 1750s from Italy without coachwork. Stiles was the official entrant of these cars in the TT race, and he then had the regulation four-seater coachwork made for the cars, which promptly finished first, second and third â having totally dominated the great race. The Alfa Romeo factory at Il Portello, Milan, allowed Alfa Romeo British Sales Limited up to one yearâs credit in providing these cars which Fred Stiles was then expected to sell into private hands. This was often done with the car being offered complete with quality sporting coachwork. The TT Alfa Romeo 1750s were powered by the 6-cylinder âTesta Fissaâ engines with the cylinder head and block cast in one-piece to avoid any cylinder head sealing problems created by the combination of high temperatures resulting from the exceptional mean effective pressure and special fuels used, not to mention prolonged high-speed demand from those notoriously lead-foot works drivers, particularly Nuvolari and Campari! The Testa Fissas produced an additional 17 bhp about 20% more power compared with the Gran Sport engine. This particular car â FGU 108â â is powered by an engine that â in part â might well have begun life as one of those high-performance 1930 TT power units. It was previously thought to have been installed in an un-numbered short-wheelbase 9-foot chassis frame that Stiles had in his stores. However, recent investigation of the chassis has revealed that it is stamped with the frame number 0332975. We can confirm that this frame number not to be confused with the chassis no. relates to being a 3rd Series Super Sport frame of 1929. It first emerged as a complete Alfa Romeo 1750 TFâ in 1938, when it was first registered in Stilesâs own name, receiving its UK road registration and its original buff logbook being issued on 24th September of that year. It would appear that Stiles did not use or even aware of the frame number as he used the engine serial number at that time to provide an acceptable chassis numberâ for the completed car. It then survived the second World War and by February, 1947, was in the ownership of Michael John Palmer, of Pall Mall, London. It then passed to Stubberfieldâs Garage of St Leonards-on-Sea, and on May 24th, 1950, was registered to leading pre-war racing personality Vic Derringtonâs tuning business in London Road, Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey. He appears to have found an eager buyer in Squadron Leader John Kenrick Maw, of New Barnet, Hertfordshire, to whom FGUâ passed on May 26th that year. The fourth ownership change listed in this surviving continuation log book is Rowland Smith Motors Ltd of Hampstead High Street, London, in August 1959. A year later it became the property of John Howard Kettel Jefferson of Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, before passing in April, 1961, to John Harold James of Sudgrove, near Stroud, Glos. Its previous long-term owner recalls how âMichael Sedgwick, the curator of the Beaulieu Motor Museum, had seen the car on a petrol station forecourt in Staveley near Chesterfield and told me about it in early 1962. âI drove there and found the car in a sorry state with its hood upâŠlying in the open. It had no engine. I asked to look at the car and then was told the engine was in the workshop down the street. I recognized the engine just inside the door because it had the words ALFA ROMEO cast into the block. It was in pieces and one of the mechanics showed me the split boreâŠThe car was owned by Mr Turner, the garage proprietor, and I bought the car and broken engine for ÂŁ100âŠâ â and thereby saved the gem we are now offering here When originally purchased by its new owner in 1962, the Testa Fissa engineâs split bore was believed to be irreparable. Alfa Romeo Testa Fissa block/head units do not have individual serial numbers and in essence can be mated to any 4th or 5th series 1750â crankcase. When originally purchased by the present vendor in 1962, FGUâs Testa Fissa block was mounted upon a crankcase stamped with the serial number 0312917â. There is some evidence â as per the old style log book - that this was adopted by FGUâ some ten years previously. A 5th series 1750 Gran Sport engine was then acquired for ÂŁ200 from leading British Alfisti Bill Summers, and fitted into this chassis, thus enabling FGUâ to run happily in that form for some twenty years. The Gran Sport engine was serial number 10814381â. However, a chance meeting with Alfa Romeoâs celebrated former design draughtsman and subsequent marque historian Luigi Fusi resulted in the modern-day Alfa Romeo company agreeing to repair the original split block in return for allowing them to have the engine for the purpose of copying it for their company Museum, in Arese, Italy. By 1985 the original block was fully repaired and it was then used to replace that of the Gran Sport engine numberâ381â in this chassis. The crankcase of engine 0312917â originally acquired with the split block attached, was meanwhile provided to Angela Cherrett, the owner of the appropriate surviving 1930 TT and Le Mans car â Alfa Romeo 1750 and marque authority This restitution was registered with the Licensing authorities on May 2, 1966. Meanwhile, detailed research into FGUâs history resulted in a letter from the Hampshire county register of vehicles in England explaining why the car should bear this 1938 London-issued registration number. It had been assembled by Alfa Romeo concessionaire Stiles upon the Third Series Super Sport chassis, using the Testa Fissa engine and what was described as the Stiles Threesomeâ body â produced by the James Young Coach building company of London Road, Bromley, Kent. It is this high quality body which has always made this such a handsomely proportioned and unusually handsome example of the marque and model. As the carâs previous owner of 47 years â automobile engineer and noted Alfa Romeo restorer David Baylis, observes âWe can surmise that with the second World War approaching, Stiles had these items lying surplus in his stores, and wished to capitalize upon themâŠâ. Fred Stiles had by that time been replaced as Alfa Romeoâs UK concessionaire by Thomson & Taylor Ltd, of Brooklands, and in effect was intent upon capitalizing as many of his remaining Alfa Romeo effects as possible. Angela Cherrett recalls being told that documentation connected with the car did state âStiles Special Alfa Romeo built from partsâ and that it was first registered in 1938. There is no record of the car in the Alfa Romeo British Sales Ltd sales records, but this is perfectly understandable since Fred Stiles plainly assembled the car in later years, and initially for his own personal use. As a summary, we have identified the following number on the motor car. Frame no. 0332975 1929 3rd Series Super Sport; Front axle no. 0161721 1929; Steering box no. 0151179 1929; Gearbox no. 8143463 16x28 ratio, 1930 4th Series; Back axle no. 8173246 11x54 ratio, 1930 4th Series; Engine no. 10814381 1931 5th Series Gran Sport; Crankcase no. 10824380 1931 5th Series Gran Sport. Mr Baylis met former Stiles mechanic Bernard Arlidge in the 1970s, and found that Arlidge remembered Fred Stiles initially using the car â then painted blue, as his regular transport to run to and from his office in Baker Street, London. Writing to the owners listed in the old buff log book which he acquired with the car, Mr Baylis subsequently received a letter from George Baker, of Stubberfieldâs Garage, St Leonardâs-on-Sea, who had owned and raced the car immediately post-war. During this period he had participated with FGUâ in the inaugural Goodwood Motor Circuit race meeting on September 18, 1948. Competing in the programmeâs Chichester Cup race he and FGUâ, now offered here, finished sixth. Many years later, David Baylis and FGUâ would participate in no fewer than four Mille Miglia retrospective events, driving the car from England to Italy on each occasion. The car also won its first Vintage Sports Car Club race as long ago as 1967, and it has since featured in the Eifel Classic at the Nurburgring, Germany, the Nuvolari Rally at Mantua, Italy, a range of events in the Far East and also in others at such evocative British circuits as Silverstone, Oulton Park, Castle Combe, and Snetterton. The James Young Coachbuilding company had been founded in 1863 and turned its attention from horse-drawn carriages to automotive horsepower relatively late, in 1908. Into the mid-1920s the Bromley, Kent, based coachbuilder had already bodied several Alfa Romeo RL SS chassis, and it worked closely with British concessionaire Stiles. In fact James Young bodied so many of the new 6C chassis for him that the company became in effect Alfa Romeoâs officialâ British-market coachbuilder. The Stiles Threesomeâ body as offered here was designed by Stiles for the 1750 SS and GS chassis, and was a particularly successful combination of practicality and attractively-proportioned form. So the incredibly useable and immensely rare James Young Alfa Romeo 1750 now offered here provides the outstanding provenance of no fewer than 47 years in one ownership, plus the extra assurance and cachet of having been preserved and maintained throughout that period by an owner who is not only a lifelong Alfa Romeo enthusiast but also a specialist restorer of these cars. It was assembled originally by the well-known and thoroughly well-documented pre-war British Alfa-Romeo concessionaire âFred Stilesâ for his own personal use. It retains its original body, the only body that has ever been on this chassis. It was first UK road-registered as long ago as 1938, and the original-style buff logbook documentation offered with it confirms previous ownerships. It is a genuinely sporting car that has been well used, and equally well maintained. It is an immensely useable sports car with three-seat capacity, the supercharged Alfa Romeo cachet and charisma, and that rare Testa Fissaâ performance and power. FGUâ is, indeed, a lovely thing. The car is offered with well-presented history files that contain V5 Registration document, old style log books, and much correspondence. Also included in the sale is a copy of Baylisâs autobiography where FGU is prominently featured and illustrated. Added to this, the engine, gearbox, clutch and rear axle have all recently been fully rebuilt by Historic Competition services in Belgium to the highest standards and the car carries a full picture documentation file of all of the work done. A once in a lifetime opportunity to own a Blue Chip investment that you can enjoy as much for its looks and rarity as you can for its driving pleasure. On top of that, you will be able to enjoy an exhaust note that they surely play in automotive Heaven.

In the 1930s, Alfa Romeo still didnât produce their own bodyworks, but they bought In the case of the 6C 1750 GS, the body came from the coach-builder Zagato. This turned out to be a good choice, because again Zagato did a great job with his distinctive design language. The four-meter-long car had two spare wheels that were stowed in a rear well. In the event of bad weather, a textile top offered emergency cover or protection against rain. A striking feature of this car was the removable red plastic covers on the three headlights, which were intended to improve the aerodynamics of the 1750 GS was powered by a 6-cylinder in-line engine that Vitorio Jano, the brilliant chief engineer of Alfa Romeo, had developed. It generated a remarkable 85 hp at 4500 rpm. Several factory race cars had their cylinder heads welded testa fissa so that they could rev up to 5000 rpm, yielding a magnificent output of 102 hp. Whether equipped with 85 or 102 hp, the Gran Sport excelled. Owing to a low total weight of 920 kg and a reduced wheelbase of 2745 mm that improved its handling dramatically, the Gran Sport became the most famous Alfa Romeo of the time. Numerous important victories all over Europe, as in the 1930 and 1931 Mille Miglia and the wet race of the Irish Tourist Trophy â to name just a few â made it the undisputed dominator of that racing era. Only the rigorous endurance race of the 24 Hours of Le Mans proved to be too much for the 6C 1750 GS.AlfaRomeo 6C 1750 - Gran Sport Figoni Roadster : histoire, anecdotes, photos, caractĂ©ristiques, prix historiques - Autopedia, l'EncyclopĂ©die collaborative automobile

Contrairement Ă sa petite soeur, cette derniĂšre est Ă©quipĂ©e d'un compresseur montĂ© directement en bout de vilebrequin ce qui lui permet d'atteindre les 85 chevaux et les 145km/h en vitesse de pointe. La plupart des modĂšles de la Gran Sport seront des spider bi-places, carrossĂ©s par Zagato qui sont aujourd'hui mythiques. Une version "ultime" de la Gran Sport est Ă©galement produite Ă 6 exemplaires. Il s'agit de la version "Testa Fissa" la culasse et le bloc ne forment qu'un seul ensemble et la puissance atteint alors 102 chevaux. Articles 6C1750-Gran-Sport DETAILS Engine Front, longitudinal, vertical straight-six, block and fixed head in cast iron, two valves per cylinder, twin overhead camshafts, layshaft and bevel gear drive. Single twinchoke carburettor, supercharger, distributor ignition, wet sump lubrication. Engine Displacement 1752 cc (65x88 mm) Power and Torque The origins of the legendary 6C 1750 model can be traced to 1923, when Nicola Romeo hired the legendary engineer Vittorio Jano from rival Fiat to design a successful Grand Prix car. Less than a year later, Jano unveiled the P2 â generally regarded as the first modern Grand Prix car. It was an immediate success, claiming the first manufacturerâs championship for Alfa Romeo in 1925. Following this, Janoâs next task was to design a production chassis with great sporting potential. The result was a series of six-cylinder 6C cars built in various specifications. The rarest and most desirable were the short-chassis Super Sport and 1750 Gran Sport, featuring straight-six engines with dual overhead camshafts, hemispherical combustion chambers, and Roots-type superchargers. Lightweight, with excellent roadholding qualities and reliable power, the 6Cs were among the greatest high-performance automobiles of their day. They often challenged Bugattis and Maseratis of greater displacement and proved victorious. The 6C 1750s won nearly every major sports car race of the day, including the Mille Miglia, 24 Hours of Spa, and Brooklands Double Twelve. According to marque expert CristiĂĄn Bertschiâs report on file, this extraordinary 6C 1750, one of the finest examples in existence, and was issued its Certificato dâOrigine on March 18, 1931, making it likely just the 11th of the Series V cars built. The Alfa Romeo was sold new on March 20th to privateer racer Sergio Rusca of Milan, who already owned a 6C 1750 Series IV, so his purchase was likely fueled by a desire to have a brand-new car for racing. He and co-driver Giovanni Minozzi entered the 1931 Mille Miglia, and a photo published in a contemporary magazine shows the 6C 1750 in a dark color with race no. 151. They finished an impressive 13th Overall, an outstanding result for a privateer team, behind the great Rudolf Caracciola and Giuseppe Campari and not far behind Tazio Nuvolari, who came in 9th. Twelve of the top 15 finishers were driving Alfa Romeos, and 10 of those were 6C 1750s. Rusca then entered the Alfa Romeo in a race at the Circuito Tre Province in September and again finished well, placing 3rd Overall. In October 1931, the Alfa Romeo was sold to fellow racer Giovanni Restelli of Como, Italy, and he and co-driver Pieri finished 17th Overall at the 1932 Mille Miglia. Restelli then finished 1st Overall at the Bellagio Guello in June, and 4th in Class that July at the Gaisbergrennen in Austria. The Alfa Romeo was then traded among several Italian owners before coming into the possession of Giacomina Vonwiller of Austria in 1935. The Alfa Romeo remained in Austria until around 1966, when it was purchased by pioneering collector and restorer Bill Pollock of Pottstown, Pennsylvania. Pollock was a highly regarded connoisseur whose cars ranged from the finest pre-1900 Peugeots, to chain-driven Chadwicks, Bugattis, Mercedes-Benz, and Alfa Romeos, including this special 6C 1750. He displayed the Alfa Romeo in his museum, the Pollock Auto Showcase, until it was sold to renowned collector John Mozart of Palo Alto, California, in 1983. It remained in Mozartâs famed collection for four years and photos on file show Phil Hill sitting in the car at the Monterey Historics. Prized for its preservation and originality, the Alfa Romeo was subsequently owned by the finest West Coast collectors, including Tom Price and Tom Armstrong. The current owner, a collector of the worldâs greatest cars and motorcycles, purchased the 6C 1750 through Mark Leonard of Grand Prix Classics in 2003. The Alfa Romeo was immediately sent to Ivan Zaremba at Phil Reilly & Company, who had already been taking care of the car for some years. Zaremba overhauled the carâs engine and replaced its Series VI gearbox with a correct Series V case. The consignor and his father then brought the Alfa Romeo to the Mille Miglia Storica in 2005, and he was invited back in 2008 as part of the official Squadra Alfa Romeo Automobilismo Storico. A testament to the high regard for this example, the team only featured two other cars, both owned by the Alfa Romeo Museum. The consignor finished the event in an impressive 5th Overall. Next, the consignor won the 1000 Millas Sport in Patagonia, Argentina, in 2005, 2008, and 2015, garnering podium positions in other years. These results are testament to the carâs expert preparation by Phil Reilly & Company, which has restored some of the finest six- and eight-cylinder Alfa Romeos, and the consignorâs driving skill and mechanical diligence. In 2016, the consignor returned the Alfa Romeo to Phil Reilly & Company for a body-off cosmetic restoration. The process was closely followed by the consignor and his advisor, noted historian and Alfa Romeo expert CristiĂĄn Bertschi, who documented it with extensive photos. During the disassembly process, the car was taken down to its bare chassis and, according to photographs on file, the original Zagato job no. 913 was found in several places, including trim pieces, where the number was still written in pencil. The numbers were also found on the wooden structure, the doors, and windshield post. Numbers were also found on the hood hinges and each number found on the car was recorded and photographed. The consignor and Zaremba determined during this process that in addition to its original chassis, the carâs body was also highly original, and they believed only the fenders and running boards had been replaced. A 3D fender scan was then taken from chassis 10814356, one of the most original 6C 1750s and a car known to have its original fenders. The Alfa Romeo was sent to the renowned Moal Coachbuilders in Oakland, California, and the scan, among other information, was used to make highly correct fenders and running boards. Since its cosmetic restoration, the Alfa Romeo has been used sparingly and maintained within the consignorâs impressive collection. It is accompanied by two extensive documents by CristiĂĄn Bertschi, restoration photographs, records, copies of Mille Miglia documents, and period photos. This wonderful 6C 1750 is highly regarded by many experts for its rare combination of numerous desirable traits. First, it is extremely rare to find a 6C 1750 with such a known, documented history. It is also a sought-after Series V version of the 6C 1750, a model that dominated racing in the early 1930s and was even more successful in this period than the 8C. This Alfa Romeo also finished the legendary Mille Miglia twice and has a known ownership history in the hands of highly respected collectors. Moreover, for the last 30 years, it has been properly cared-for and restored by one of the worldâs greatest 6C 1750 experts. These factors, combined with the numerous original Zagato markings and other hallmarks of originality found on the car, elevate it to the very upper echelon of surviving examples. Gooding & Company has known this exceptional Alfa Romeo for many years and is pleased to recommend this offering to the most discerning collector. carNous avons le vent en poupe cette anneÌe encore ! En effet nous remarquons avec eÌmerveillement que la presquâiÌle de Saint-Jean- Cap-Ferrat est en train de devenir un lieu de rencontre mythique des plus belles voitures au monde et de leurs proprieÌtaires. Pour la deuxieÌme eÌdition du concours en automobile Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat LeÌgendes, lâun des plus grands collectionneurs, Corrado Lopresto, nous enchantera de sa preÌsence. Mr Lopresto, architecte et entrepreneur, posseÌde une collection de voitures rares, aux carrosseries les plus uniques et au charme ravageur. Ce passionneÌ sâest enticheÌ depuis des anneÌes de ces demoiselles meÌcaniques et recherche aujourdâhui des perles rares et originelles, qui partage souvent ce point commun, le numeÌro de chaÌssis n°0001. Sa collection a deÌjaÌ eÌteÌ primeÌ plus de 200 fois avec 50 Best Of Show. Et les 25, 26 et 27 septembre 2015, il sera au bras dâune voiture exceptionnelle la charmante Alfa Romeo 6C Gran Sport 1750 de 1931 carrosseÌe par Zagato et Aprile.Toutcomme la Gran Turismo, l'Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport apparaĂźt en 1930. Contrairement Ă sa petite soeur, cette derniĂšre est Ă©quipĂ©e d'un compresseur montĂ© directement en bout de vilebrequin ce qui lui permet d'atteindre les 85 chevaux et les 145km/h en vitesse de pointe. Dans les annĂ©es 1930, le 6C 1750 possĂ©dait la capacitĂ© unique de gagner des courses et des prix de design Avec un rapport poids / puissance exceptionnel et un Ă©quilibre parfait, le 6C 1750 a inaugurĂ© des traditions techniques qui se poursuivent aujourd'hui Lâhomme volant de Mantoue 13 avril 1930. Juste aprĂšs 5 heures du matin, les ombres silencieuses au bord du lac de Garde sont secouĂ©es par le grondement d'une araignĂ©e Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport roulant Ă 150 kilomĂštres Ă l'heure avec ses phares Ă©teints. Au volant, se trouve Tazio Nuvolari, de Mantoue, surnommĂ© Nivola». Ă cĂŽtĂ© de lui, Gian Battista Guidotti, chef pilote d'essai d'Alfa Romeo Ă l'usine de Portello. Câest un moment clĂ© dâune course mythique des Mille Miglia. Achille Varzi est le leader de la course et le vainqueur prĂ©sumĂ©. Cependant, quelques kilomĂštres avant le lac, Ă VĂ©rone, Nuvolari et Guidotti avaient eu une idĂ©e incroyable Ă©teindre leurs phares. Leur seul espoir de battre leur rival Ă©tait de le prendre par surprise. L'aube approchait. AprĂšs le lac, la campagne paisible mĂšnerait Ă la ligne d'arrivĂ©e Ă Brescia. C'est ici que Varzi et son deuxiĂšme pilote Canavesi ont dĂ©tectĂ© l'Ă©cho d'un autre moteur. Trop tard... Avant de rĂ©aliser ce qui se passait, ils avaient Ă©tĂ© dĂ©passĂ©s par une voiture identique Ă la leur. Nuvolari a gagnĂ©. Sa vitesse moyenne Ă©tait de 100,45 km / h. C'Ă©tait la premiĂšre fois que la barriĂšre de vitesse moyenne Ă 100 km / h Ă©tait brisĂ©e dans cette course lĂ©gendaire... Un record qui a fait la une de toute l'Europe. Dix minutes plus tard, un Varzi stupĂ©fait arrivait deuxiĂšme. Giuseppe Campari termina Ă la troisiĂšme place, suivi de Pietro Ghersi. DiffĂ©rents types de pilotes ayant un point commun ils Ă©taient tous sur le mĂȘme modĂšle, le 6C 1750. Et ils n'Ă©taient pas les seuls. Dans l'heure et demie suivante, d'autres modĂšles 6C sont arrivĂ©s... Au total, huit des onze premiers roulaient Ă bord de cette voiture. Une suprĂ©matie absolue, qui devait se rĂ©pĂ©ter cette annĂ©e-lĂ avec les trois premiĂšres places aux 24 heures de Spa en Belgique et au Belfast Tourist Trophy. La 6C 1750 Ă©tait tout simplement la voiture ainsi la plus rapide de son Ă©poque. La famille 6C Vittorio Jano avait pris en charge tout le dĂ©veloppement des produits Alfa Romeo en 1926, et la 6C Ă©tait sa premiĂšre crĂ©ation. Sa tĂąche Ă©tait d'inventer une voiture lĂ©gĂšre et brillamment performante» qui gagnerait des courses et des admirateurs, mais conquerrait Ă©galement de nouveaux marchĂ©s. La 6C combinait simplicitĂ© conceptuelle et ingĂ©nierie sophistiquĂ©e... Les vertus typiques des crĂ©ations de Jano. Cependant, elle offrait Ă©galement une chose qui allait devenir une spĂ©cialitĂ© d'Alfa Romeo une puissance spĂ©cifique extrĂȘmement Ă©levĂ©e. Jano avait une capacitĂ© Ă©tonnante Ă extraire une puissance Ă©levĂ©e de petits moteurs, ce que nous appellerions aujourd'hui le downsizing concevoir des moteurs avec une cylindrĂ©e comprise entre 1 litre - par exemple pour les voitures utilitaires - et les 2 ou 3 litres de modĂšles de luxe. MĂȘme Ă l'Ă©poque, Alfa Romeo offrait le meilleur rapport poids / puissance... Et Ă©tait donc le plus rapide. Innovation technologique Ce gĂ©nie technique a prĂ©sidĂ© Ă la naissance de voitures lĂ©gendaires. Merosi avait auparavant dĂ©veloppĂ© des moteurs trĂšs originaux pour le GP de 1914 bloquĂ©s par le dĂ©clenchement de la guerre, qui ont continuĂ© Ă dominer la future conception du moteur Alfa Romeo deux arbres Ă cames en tĂȘte, quatre soupapes par cylindre et double allumage. La 6C 1900 GT et plus tard la 6C 2300 et la 6C 2500 a introduit d'autres innovations une suspension Ă roues indĂ©pendantes et un nouveau chĂąssis avec des composants soudĂ©s au lieu de rivetĂ©s, afin de renforcer la rigiditĂ©. Les performances routiĂšres des modĂšles Alfa Romeo devenaient ainsi un Ă©lĂ©ment clĂ© de lâADN de la marque. La 6C 1750 On pourrait dire que la 6C 1750, prĂ©sentĂ©e en janvier 1929 au Salon de lâautomobile de Rome, exprimait la pleine maturitĂ© de la formule 6C. Le moteur Ă©tait une Ă©volution du prĂ©cĂ©dent moteur en ligne Ă six cylindres de 1500. Il a Ă©tĂ© produit en diffĂ©rentes versions - mono et double arbre, avec et sans compresseur volumĂ©trique.. Et sa puissance variait des 46 CV sur la version Turismo aux 102 CV de la Gran Sport "Fixed Head". Cette derniĂšre Ă©tait une "version spĂ©ciale", trĂšs peu produite la culasse et le carter Ă©taient coulĂ©s en un seul bloc afin d'Ă©liminer les joints et le risque de les brĂ»ler, le poids n'Ă©tait que de 840 kg et la vitesse de pointe Ă©tait de 170 km / h. Le moteur n'est pas le seul facteur qui a fait de la 6C 1750 un sommet de l'innovation automobile. Elle utilisait un systĂšme de freinage mĂ©canique, avec de grands tambours actionnĂ©s par un systĂšme de transmission. Son cadre en acier embouti Ă©tait parfaitement Ă©quilibrĂ© et d'une rigiditĂ© exceptionnelle, avec des essieux renforcĂ©s. Les ressorts Ă lames ont Ă©tĂ© montĂ©s Ă l'extĂ©rieur de la carrosserie de la voiture plutĂŽt que sous les longerons, et le centre de gravitĂ© plus bas a considĂ©rablement amĂ©liorĂ© l'adhĂ©rence dans les virages. Le rĂ©servoir de carburant a Ă©tĂ© placĂ© plus en arriĂšre, afin d'obtenir un plus grand poids sur les roues arriĂšre et d'amĂ©liorer l'Ă©quilibre des essieux. ConformĂ©ment Ă la philosophie de la marque, toutes les solutions innovantes ont Ă©tĂ© appliquĂ©es simultanĂ©ment aux voitures de course et aux voitures de route. Plus elle gagnait de courses, plus la rĂ©putation technique impressionnante de la 6C augmentait. DĂšs son lancement, la 6C 1750 a immĂ©diatement enregistrĂ© une croissance notable de ses ventes. Entre 1929 et 1933, 2 579 modĂšles ont quittĂ© l'usine de Portello pour la vente en Italie mais aussi Ă l'Ă©tranger notamment en Grande-Bretagne et dans le Commonwealth. Un rĂ©sultat exceptionnel, surtout si l'on considĂšre le statut de la voiture comme un produit rĂ©solument d'Ă©lite. En Italie, par exemple, elle coĂ»tait entre 40 000 et 60 000 lires, soit environ sept ans de salaire moyen. LâĂšre de la carrosserie La 6C Ă©tait ultra-rapide mais aussi magnifique. Son succĂšs doit beaucoup aux carrossiers qui ont créé ses carrosseries des maĂźtres artisans capables d'unir les mĂ©tiers de sellier, carrossier, peintre et tapissier des crĂ©ateurs et stylistes artistiques qui ont marquĂ© lâĂ©poque de leur empreinte. Jusqu'aux annĂ©es 1930, il Ă©tait normal que les chĂąssis nus quittent les usines de production, Ă©quipĂ©s uniquement de moteur, boĂźte de vitesses et suspensions. Le client achetait la voiture, puis demandait Ă un carrossier de crĂ©er un design sur mesure pratiquement unique. Le premier dĂ©partement de style Ă l'intĂ©rieur de l'usine de Portello n'a pas vu le jour avant 1933. Il a coexistĂ© initialement avec le systĂšme prĂ©cĂ©dent de vente des chĂąssis directement aux clients et aux carrossiers. La 6C 1750 offrait des opportunitĂ©s exceptionnelles pour les finitions raffinĂ©es de carrossiers. L'extraordinaire base mĂ©canique et d'ingĂ©nierie d'Alfa Romeo s'est prĂȘtĂ©e Ă la crĂ©ation de certaines des carrosseries les plus Ă©lĂ©gantes jamais construites, celles-ci Ă©tant conçues par les meilleurs stylistes et achetĂ©es par les plus cĂ©lĂšbres VIP. La 6C 1750 GS Touring Flying Star » La Flying Star» a Ă©tĂ© conçue pour ĂȘtre aussi irrĂ©sistible que sa propriĂ©taire Josette Pozzo, une femme millionnaire, mannequin et cĂ©lĂ©britĂ© mondaine. Il a Ă©tĂ© conçu spĂ©cialement pour participer au Concours dâĂ©lĂ©gance de la Villa dâEste en 1931, et fut construit par la Carrozzeria Touring de Felice Bianchi Anderloni. L'araignĂ©e 6C 1750 est une crĂ©ation unique un bijou d'originalitĂ©, d'Ă©lĂ©gance et de soin du dĂ©tail. Elle Ă©tait entiĂšrement blanche, y compris le dessous de caisse, les rayons de roue, le volant et la sellerie, la seule exception Ă©tant son tableau de bord noir. La Touring a dotĂ© la 1750 de nouvelles proportions, en lui ajoutant une sĂ©rie de dĂ©tails esthĂ©tiques art nouveau » Ă©lĂ©gants, telles que les marches avant et arriĂšre suspendues qui s'Ă©tendent des passages de roues et traversent sous les portes sans se toucher. Le rĂ©sultat? Lors du prestigieux concours de la Villa dâEste, la 6C 1750 GS Touring remportait la Gold Cup de la plus belle voiture. Et Josette elle-mĂȘme, sa propriĂ©taire, lâa conduite pour recevoir le prix, vĂȘtue de façon magnifique dans une tenue blanche assortie. Bruxelles, le 28 avril 2020 zZbmovA.
