In March of 1963, the bigger engine 1.6L Alfa Romeo Giulia series would replace the widely popular Alfa Romeo Giulietta line at the Geneva Motor Show. The word Giulietta means Little Giulia in Italian; naming the new series the Giulia was a wordplay, claiming that the new car was a more grown-up version of the Giulietta. The 1,570cc engine, which made reaching 120mph possible, featured Weber 40 DCOE2 carburetors that were taken from the Giulia Sprint Veloce and gave the Giulia 112hp. Most Giulia Sprint Speciale models were equipped with disc brakes at the front wheels. If youre looking to buy a 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale, one of the easiest ways to distinguish a Giulia SS from a Giulietta SS is by the dashboard. The Giulia offers a leather underside with the glovebox at a different angle, while the Giulietta is painted in one color without a leather underside. In total, 1,400 Giulia Sprint Speciale models were produced prior to the end of production in 1966.

Why We Love The 1963 Giulia SS

The 1963 model year represents a perfect storm of firsts: the debut of the Giulia SS name, cutting-edge aerodynamics, advanced engine technology, and the transition to modern disc brakes – making it one of the most significant years in Alfa Romeo’s history for collectors seeking automotive milestones.

First Year of Production – Alfa Romeo introduced the 1600cc version of the Giulietta at the Auto Salon Geneva in March 1963, and it would now become known as the Giulia SS. The example offered here is from the first year of Giulia SS production, making 1963 cars the debut year models – always highly prized by collectors.

Development on the Turin-Milan Motorway – The 1963 Giulia SS on display in this exhibition was developed using aerodynamic testing carried out on the Turin-Milan motorway. This makes it one of the first cars developed using real-world highway aerodynamic testing rather than just wind tunnels.

Unique Plastic Wind Deflector – The unique plastic air deflector mounted ahead of the windscreen, which was more commonly seen on competition cars of the era, added to the car’s racy flavour. Distinguishing it at a glance from the Giulietta version Sprint Speciale was the plastic insect screen in front of the windshield.

Revolutionary Drag Coefficient – With a drag coefficient of only 0.28, the 1963 Giulia SS was decades ahead of its time aerodynamically – better than most modern cars and exceptional for the early 1960s.

Twin Weber 40 DCOE Carburetors – With its Weber 40 DCOEs on short trumpets and its four-into-one manifold, this is an engine that really ‘sings’. This racing-derived carburetion system was cutting-edge technology for a road car in 1963.

Lightweight Construction Achievement – The lightweight 950 kg body could be driven at a top speed of 124 mph, representing an exceptional power-to-weight ratio that rivaled purpose-built sports cars of the era.

Hemispheric Combustion Chamber Technology – The new 4-cylinder engine was based on the classic Alfa Romeo design of hemispheric combustion chambers and valves controlled directly by twin overhead camshafts – advanced engine technology that wouldn’t become common until decades later.

Transitional Brake Technology – Four-wheel Dunlop disc brakes and a brake servo were phased in during August 1963, after 22–23 thousand cars had been built. Early 1963 cars had drum brakes, making late-1963 models with disc brakes particularly desirable.

Franco Scaglione Design Legacy – The bodywork was designed by Franco Scaglione at Bertone, the same designer responsible for the legendary Alfa Romeo BAT concept cars. This connection to automotive design history adds significant collector interest.

Debut at Monza Autodrome – The first generation of Giulias appeared in June 1962, making its debut at the Monza Autodrome. The connection to this legendary racing circuit adds to the car’s motorsport heritage and collector appeal.

The 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale is a desirable classic car for a number of reasons. During its era, it would become the road-going Alfa model to have. With added engine capacity and an appealing aerodynamic shape, the Giulia SS gave owners effortless high-speed driving experience. The same applies to the classic Alfa Romeo Giulia SS models in todays market. While many buyers prefer a properly restored Sprint Speciale, buyers will find everything from pristine originals to those in need of a complete restoration.
