Alfa Romeo's history is rich in road models built in small series, but at the dawn of the 1990s, it had been a long time since Milan had attempted the adventure. In this context, the SZ coupé (also known as the ES30), designed by Centro Stile Fiat under the direction of the late Robert Opron, struck a chord when its prototype was unveiled at the 1989 Geneva Motor Show. Its distinctive styling, entirely dictated by aerodynamic concerns, caused a stir - all the more so as the production version, marketed a year later, was virtually identical. Beneath this provocative, radical exterior lies a familiar platform and suspension, derived from that of the 75 V6 sedan. Like the latter, the car is powered by the legendary six-cylinder engine by engineer Giuseppe Busso, developing 210 hp. Built in only 1036 examples in its coupé version (a roadster also existed), the SZ occupies a special place in the hearts of aficionados... and in the collections of enlightened enthusiasts!
