Alfa Romeo Sprint
-
In the early ’70s, Alfa Romeo introduced the compact model called the Sud. The powerhouse was a flat four engine they mounted deep in the engine bay that sent power to the front wheels. The layout was revolutionary for the time and gave the Sud impressive driving characteristics. But Alfa wanted to explore the concept further, so in 1976, they presented a coupe version they called the Sud Sprint.
The Sprint was an agile compact sports car with 1.3 to 1.7-liter flat four engines that provided power and an exhilarating performance due to the low weight and direct steering. As with all Alfas from that period, the Sprint wasn’t particularly durable, but it was a fun and dynamic little coupe.
