Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Coupé Bertone

Chassis

#915.516

The Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Coupe Bertone designed by Mario Revelli di Beaumont.

Vehicle Overview

The Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Coupe Bertone is a truly exceptional piece of automotive history, featuring a design crafted by the talented Roman designer Mario Revelli di Beaumont. This stunning car, part of the Alfa Romeo 6C family, was produced in various displacements by the renowned Milanese car manufacturer between 1927 and 1950. The Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Coupe Bertone, however, stands out as a unique example with its timeless elegance and performance. Unfortunately, the traces of this particular car were lost for many years, leaving its whereabouts unknown until a few years ago when it was discovered in a barn in a small town in Massachusetts. After being brought back to Italy, the car underwent a meticulous restoration by the Lopreso Collection, which returned it to its original, breathtaking beauty. The craftsmanship involved in the restoration was focused on preserving the car’s authentic characteristics, ensuring that it regained the allure and refinement that made it such a special creation in its time. The design by Mario Revelli di Beaumont is a harmonious blend of sleek lines and sophisticated details, with an emphasis on aerodynamic efficiency and elegance. The Bertone coachwork, with its smooth, flowing contours, highlights the car’s sporty nature while maintaining an air of luxury. It’s a perfect example of the Italian design ethos of the era, combining functionality with artistic flair. Interestingly, the same design concept was also employed by Bertone on a Fiat 6C 1500 chassis, now housed in the Museo Nicolis. This serves as another testament to the versatility and timeless appeal of Revelli di Beaumont’s vision, showcasing the car’s adaptability to different platforms while retaining its signature elegance. Today, the Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Coupé Bertone remains a rare and precious gem in the world of classic automobiles, admired not only for its historical significance but also for its unrivaled beauty and craftsmanship.
