Transaxle (alias Toprope)
Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 Monza (1933) coachwork @ Zagato
* 165 CV @ 5400 rpm / 2336 cc * supercharged dual overhead camshaft inline eight-cylinder engine
* four-speed manual transmission
* four-wheel drum brakes
* Wheelbase 2650 mm
* produced in 188 units (also for road use)
While the racing version of the 8C 2300 Spider, driven by Tazio Nuvolari won the 1931 and 1932 Targa Florio race in Sicily, the 1931 Italian Grand Prix victory at Monza gave the "Monza" name to the twin seater GP car.
The Alfa Romeo factory often added the name of events won to the name of a car.
