History

Rear view

The project began development in June 2022 at the initiative of Jean-Philippe Imparato, head of Alfa Romeo, taking some of its development work from an abandoned Alfa Romeo project that was used to develop the Maserati MC20.[6][7] The car is meant to be an homage to the original 1967 model and a limited production of just 33 units is expected to begin in June 2024. The cars will be produced by the Italian coach building firm Touring Superleggera.[8][9]
