The Original: The Alfa Romeo TZ2
The Alfa Romeo TZ2 is an iconic vehicle that was built from 1965 to 1967 and is heavily influenced by the technological and aesthetic expertise of its time. It is the second generation of the TZ model and directly follows the well-known Alfa Romeo TZ1. The TZ2 was mainly developed by Ercole Spada and Carlo Chiti, who played significant roles for the company. The Alfa Romeo TZ2 is particularly known for its lightweight, aerodynamic construction and its powerful 1,570-ccm in-line four-cylinder engine, producing around 170 horsepower. A distinctive feature of the vehicle is its fiberglass and plastic bodywork, reducing the weight to only 620 kg (1,367 pounds) and enabling outstanding racing performance. The car was frequently used in racing competitions and achieved numerous successes.
Historical Background
The year 1965 was a year full of remarkable events. It was the year when the Beatles released their groundbreaking album "Help!" and the Genocide Convention came into force by the United Nations. These historical context examples give an insight into the environment in which the Alfa Romeo TZ2 was developed - a time of cultural and technological change. Alfisti appreciate the TZ2 for its simple elegance, derived directly from this history-rich period. It was introduced as the successor to the TZ1, which significantly contributed to Alfa Romeo's reputation in motorsport.
