Unfortunately, none of the tree Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ didn’t manage to complete the 1963 Le Mans competition. It was a compact car with a tiny engine but it was also a light, stream-lined and nimble vehicle. Giulietta SZ was the race version of Giulietta and was prepared by Zagato. It was based on a shortened Giulietta Spider chassis complimented by the mechanics of Sprint Veloce. The design was created by Franco Scaglione at studio Bertone, while the aluminum body was produced by hand at Zagato` workshop. Last 30 of the 200 in total Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ were made with a long tail, known as ‘Coda tronca’ due to achieve better aerodynamic. #34 Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ shown on the picture was racing for Scuderia St. Ambroeus with Giancarlo Sala and Romolo Rossi behind the wheel. Problems in the rear axle forced them to retirement from the race. Their white car with yellow wheels numbered 34 was also featured in the first season of Department S TV series.
