Something more, the Italian brand will be a protagonist of the 2015 edition with the superb "1900 Sport Spider" from 1954.

To be admitted to the event, all vehicles must have been constructed between 1919 and 1961. But there are some exceptional vehicles in certain categories, constructed between 1962 and 1965. Why? Because they will have something special in their construction or because they possess particular historic interest. Just imagine the sight.

The vehicle comes from the renovated Alfa Romeo Museum in Arese and recently won the "Best Car in Show" prize in the "Experience" dynamic competition. This was during the trials for the "XXIV Cesana-Sestriere Avvocato Giovanni Agnelli Trophy". The vehicle itself comes with a "1900" dry sump DOHC 4-cylinder engine, that produces a total of 138 hp (101 kW) and reaches a top speed of 220 km/h (122 mph). Its weight is just 800 kg and comes with nicely done aerodynamic body. The 1900 SS's engine is paired with a 5-speed transmission and a De Dion rear axle: this helps the vehicle to demonstrate some wonderful performance, along with incredible flexibility.

But along with the historic Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS, there will be and another eye-catchers, that are indeed the latest Giulietta and the 4C Spider. The first one, the Giulietta is a compact sedan, that proudly demonstrates the well-known Italian elegance, while the second vehicle is brand's ultimate expression of style and motor excellence.
