Alfa Romeo 2000

The Alfa Romeo 2000, officially the Tipo 102, is a luxury car that the Italian maker Alfa Romeo built from 1958 to 1962 as the successor to the 1900 Super. It was presented at the 1957 Turin Motor Show as a four door, six seat Berlina saloon, and production began the following year with a Spider convertible bodied by Touring alongside it. A Sprint coupe bodied by Bertone and styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro, one of his first designs, was added in 1960. All versions used a 1975 cc inline four engine with twin overhead camshafts and a five speed gearbox. Expensive but not particularly fast, it sold slowly and gave way in 1962 to the six cylinder Alfa Romeo 2600. A Brazilian variant was built by Fabrica Nacional de Motores.
