Replica Alfa-Romeo 6C 1750 GS, 1930

The Gran Sport from 1930 was the most fascinating and successful car from the Alfa-Romeo 6C 1750 series. The original vehicle we used as the source for our high-class replica is located at the Alfa-Romeo Storico museum in Arese, Italy. The extraordinary design of this Spyder was the work of the famous coachbuilder Zagato.

In the 1930s, Alfa-Romeo still did not produce its own bodies but purchased them: for the 6C 1750 GS, the body came from the coachbuilder Zagato. This proved to be a good choice, as Zagato once again did a great job with its distinctive design language. The four-meter car had two spare wheels tucked into the rear recess. In case of bad weather, a textile top offered emergency cover or rain protection. A striking feature of this car was the removable red plastic covers of the three headlights, which were designed to improve the vehicle's aerodynamics.

The 1750 GS was powered by a 6-cylinder inline engine developed by Vitorio Jano, the brilliant chief engineer of Alfa-Romeo. It generated an impressive 85 HP at 4500 rpm. In several factory racing cars, the cylinder heads were welded (testa fissa), allowing them to reach up to 5000 rpm, achieving a remarkable power of 102 HP. Whether equipped with 85 or 102 HP, the Gran Sport was excellent. With a low total weight of 920 kg and a reduced wheelbase of 2745 mm, which radically improved its handling, the Gran Sport became the most famous Alfa-Romeo of its time. Numerous important victories across Europe, such as the Mille Miglia in 1930 and 1931 and the wet Irish Tourist Trophy race — to name just a few — made it the undisputed dominator of that racing era. Only the rigorous endurance race of the 24 Hours of Le Mans proved too challenging for the 6C 1750 GS.
