Alfa Romeo Giulia Zagato
Alfa Romeo continued the sporting specials of the Giulietta with the Giulia, starting by simply giving some existing models the Giulia 1570cc engine and re-badging them. The Alfa Romeo Tubolare Zagato of 1963 was a pure racing GT car and won its first outing in 1963. Less aggressive was the Junior Zagato of 1969 which was designed more for customers than competitors. In fact the Alfa Romeo Giulia Junior Zagato was too heavy to be as fast as it looked on a 1300 engine, and too pricey for many to buy; the later and longer Junior 1600 Z addressed some of those issues.
