The TZ name has been present in Alfa’s history since the ’60s when it produced several sports and race cars named TZ 1 and TZ 2. The T stands for Turbulare, and Z for Zagato, the designer house (via Supercars).

The Alfa Romeo TZ 3 was the previous generation Dodge Viper ACR-X, a track-prepared version. Alfa only dressed the Viper into Zagato’s body, leaving all important mechanical components and a massive 8.2-liter engine intact. Even the interior was the same with the badges changed from Dodge to Alfa Romeo.
