The Alfa Romeo Giulietta SVZ by Zagato.
Vehicle Overview
The The Alfa Romeo Giulietta SVZ: Out of an accident that occurred to brothers Carlo and Dore (Salvatore) Leto of Priolo during the Mille Miglia, where they destroyed a Giulietta Spint in a run off the road, resulting in the need to completely rebody the car, another automotive myth was born. The Leto brothers from Priolo turned to the Zagato coachbuilder for the work, and the Milanese atelier handed the car back to them with a body that was only slightly more aerodynamic, but much lighter as typical of Zagato coachbuilding standards. They won many races with this car, and so it was that almost all the drivers went to Zagato to get cars with the same characteristics, having their Sprints re-bodied, almost all of them different from each other according to the experience gradually accumulated: these cars were called SVZ (Sprint Veloce Zagato). It was a series of limited numerical dimensions, because Zagato did not obtain from Alfa Romeo the “naked” chassis, but only the complete cars, and therefore with burdens of expenses well imaginable and hardly sustainable by the small coachbuilder from Milan.
