Buying a 1966 Alfa Romeo 2600

Offering a new engine and consequently a superior power-to-weight ratio, the Alfa Romeo 2600 series was considered by many to be more entertaining and enjoyable than the previous Alfa Romeo 2000 range. Launched in 1962 at the Geneva Motor Show, the Alfa Romeo 2600 saw some problems being commercially successful, however. The main problem was that the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, which ran alongside the 2600 range, cost about half as much and was lighter and more fun to drive. Nevertheless, the 1966 Alfa Romeo 2600 and other model years is considered an excellent cross-country touring car, giving drivers and passengers a quiet, comfortable and roomy driving experience. The 1966 Alfa Romeo 2600, which was available as a Spider, Sprint and Berlina, also offered four-wheel disc brakes. While this advancement would improve safety via shorter braking distances, it would also be a major advancement in competition and sport driving. In fact, the Alfa Romeo 2600 would see great success on the racetrack. During this time, two special edition models were also available: the Berlina De Luxe and the Sprint Zagato.
