Alfa Romeo Vittoria: A Rare Automotive Masterpiece?

In 1985, the Alfa Romeo 75—referred to as the Milano in North America—was unveiled as a small sports sedan to rival the BMW 3 Series (E30). The Giulietta was superseded by this model, which was manufactured until 1992 and made way for the Alfa Romeo 155. An Italian coachbuilder named Carrozzeria Castagna took a 1987 Alfa Romeo 75 and turned it into the distinctive and eye-catching “Vittoria” coupe in 1994. The next year, the Vittoria made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show.

The Vittoria is a concept car that combines strange yet fascinating automotive art, and it is based on a commercial model. It’s an incredible design that was influenced by the unique SZ (Sprint Zagato). The Vittoria is still street-legal even though it is a concept car, and its 2,500km of mileage is a result of extended storage. Only some rust is noticeable at the locations where the aluminium and steel components link, otherwise the car is in superb shape.

Carefully crafted aluminium body panels were hand-hammered and affixed to a sturdy steel frame by Carrozzeria Castagna. After a thorough redesign, the inside has opulent dark green leather upholstery, tasteful wood trim, and a large Vittoria symbol on the dashboard’s passenger side. A Momo steering wheel and green Alcantara accents on the centre console, door cards, and instrument cluster top are among the other highlights.

The 3.0-litre V6 “Busso” engine, the soul of the Alfa Romeo 75, is housed behind the Vittoria’s distinctive bodywork. Following dyno testing and upgrades, the engine now produces an amazing 255hp. Brembo brakes give dependable stopping power, while a five-speed manual gearbox delivers power to the rear wheels. Koni coaxial shock absorbers at both axles and independent coil springs at the front have also been added to improve the suspension.

A Car & Classic auction will soon be held for the 1995 Alfa Romeo Castagna Vittoria. This one-of-a-kind coachbuilt masterpiece is projected to fetch a hefty price between £125,000 and £135,000 (roughly RM718,046 to RM775,489 ) and comes with complete paperwork. This is an incredible chance for collectors and enthusiasts to possess an amazing piece of automotive history if they’re looking for a rare and valuable treasure.
