The Alfa Romeo 2300 is an executive car designed in Italy for the Brazilian market and built in Brazil by Fábrica Nacional de Motores (FNM) from 1974 to 1978, then under Fiat until 1986. The project began as 102/12, a prototype was tested in Brazil in 1972, and it was launched in March 1974 as an imported car made in Brazil. Its body resembles the Italian Alfetta saloon but is larger, while mechanically it is based on the older 1900, using a four cylinder twin cam engine of 2310 cc with a claimed 140 hp, a five speed gearbox and a claimed top speed of 170 km/h. Around 600 cars were sent to Europe in 1981 as the 2300 Rio, where quality problems hurt the brand reputation.
