Not just a pretty face
The first 50 supercharged cars were given the designation of “Super Sport”, they designated the remaining supercharged series, which continued into the early 1930s, “Gran Sport”. 360 was manufactured. They were an immediate success on a variety of road racing circuits taking part in the Mille Miglia which they won in 1929 and 1930. Light, nimble, easily manageable, they were dominant in a variety of shorter road racing circuits and rivaled their competitors, Bugatti and Maserati in many venues throughout Europe. They won at Spa, the tourist Tourist Trophy, and set several world speed records. This is probably the only 1750 Alfa Romeo ever engaged in a genuine sports car competition in the United States.
