Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 When industrialist Nicola Romeo took over the Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili (A.L.F.A), the name Alfa Romeo was born.
It is a name long been associated with some of the most exciting Italian cars on the road. One of them certainly is the Alfa Romeo 6C 2300.
The sporty car was developed in 1934 and sold from 1935 to 1939. It had a straight 6 engine designed by Vittorio Jano. The Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 was available as Touring, Granturismo and Pescara. The cars were the first in Europe to be fitted with four wheel independent suspension. They also had a single disc dry clutch and transmission with synchronized 3rd and 4th gear.
The 6C 2300 was replaced in 1939 by the 6C 2500 which was produced, except during WW2, until 1952. And besides that, Alfa Romeo will be celebrating its 100th birthday this year.
