Introduced in 1962, the Alfa Romeo 2600 featured a double-overhead camshaft six-cylinder engine which gave it smoothness, flexibility, and a top speed of 200 kph. This 2.6-liter engine fit neatly into the same engine compartment as the 2000’s four-cylinder and had been developed from the Giulietta engine, suggesting that the designers had a six-cylinder in mind for the model from the start. Styling was also Giulietta-derived, as the 2600 added single-piece bumpers, built-in driving lights, and a single air intake perched near the front of the elongated hood. The 2600 was fitted with a smooth five-speed gearbox and also featured four-wheel disc brakes—a first for street Alfa Romeos. In comparison to the smaller Giulietta and then Giulia, the 2600 was a high-speed cruiser. Only 2255 examples of the 2600 Touring Spider were produced between 1962 and 1965, which makes it a very rare Alfa Romeo. 📷 @andreaklainguti . . . #PassioneEngadina #PassioneEngadina2023 #PassioneEngadinaCommunity #alfaromeo #carlover #carsandcoffe #carsdaily #carloversplayground #classiccars #classiccarsdaily
