What the car is and where it came from
A mid-engine sports car derived from the Autodelta Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 racing car. Designed by Franco Scaglione in 1967. Built by Carrozzeria Marazzi. Eighteen units made between 1967 and 1969.
How it works, in terms someone would actually use
It places the driver behind a 2.0 L V8 engine, mid-mounted for balance, in a street-legal body built by Carrozzeria Marazzi. It was designed for Autodelta to translate Tipo 33 racing hardware into road use.
What it gets right
It gets right the integration of racing chassis discipline with road-going form: low-slung, narrow, light, and purposefully exposed.
What it does not
It does not prioritise comfort, visibility, or ease of entry. It does not offer mass production, dealer support, or long-term service infrastructure.
What it changed
It proved that a factory-backed racing programme could yield a limited-run, road-legal car without diluting its track intent.
Who it is for, and who it is not
It is for collectors and engineers who value lineage over luxury. It is not for daily drivers, families, or anyone needing practicality or resale liquidity.
Is it worth your time
Yes — if you care about how racing logic reshapes road cars, not just how fast they go.
