Alfa Romeo Giulietta Ti: The Story 1957 - 1964

While the "1900" marked Alfa's first foray into series production, it's the smaller Giulietta that transformed #AlfaRomeo into Italy's second-largest carmaker, overtaking a struggling Lancia.
The #Giulietta was a massively overspecified vehicle for its target market. Powered by a 1290cc all-aluminum twin-overhead-cam inline-four-cylinder, the small Alfa used aluminum casings for the gearbox, differential, and brake drums: the latter had helicoidal fins to further improve heat dissipation.
The Giulietta Ti adopted a slightly different rear-end design, with small, pointy tailfins partly concealing the taillights. But, much more importantly, it came with 65 HP thanks to a higher compression ratio and a double-choke Solex carburetor. Enough to push the Giulietta Ti over 150 Km/h, which doesn't seem like much today, but was almost unheard-of for your average 1950s family saloon. #Story
