Beauty is only skin-deep, but the Alfa Romeo SZ is also beautiful underneath its composite skin.
The love-it-or-hate-it design (we lurve it!) was chosen because it was so attention-grabbing, but the SZ's mechanical layout traces back directly to Alfa Romeo's 1938 race car, the 158 "Alfetta." More than a decade later, a small upgrade turned it into the 159 Alfetta, which competed in Formula 1 - and was one of the most successful race cars in history.
Giuseppe Busso did more than design the lusty V-6 in the SZ; it was his dream to put the Alfetta's rear-transaxle and de Dion-suspension layout in a street car. He realized this dream with the original Alfetta (Type 116) in the early 1970s, and that basic layout carried over directly into the SZ, giving this two-door coupe (and the RZ, its roadster twin) predictable, easy handling.
The SZ's styling is polarizing but its driving experience is not - it's universally praised as a driver's car, with great visibility, an incredibly responsive 3.0-liter Busso V-6, and a forgiving, playful rear-drive chassis.
Though its name stands for Sprint Zagato, the SZ was not designed by Zagato. It was instead done in-house by early CAD at Fiat Centro Stile - after proposals from both Zagato and Alfa Romeo's internal styling department were rejected. The SZ was, however, built by Zagato.
Today, it still looks like nothing else - a magnificent period-piece of incredible design with speed and sound to match.
Our many thanks to Marco Marini of EuroClassixCars for allowing us to film and experience this stunning piece of history. (Marco, you're lucky Jason returned it to you. He almost kidnapped it!)

@@JasonCammisa One would also assume that the measuring equipment of that time didn't really handle other than peak loads that well. Anyho related to Alfa. Are 33 Stradales unobtanium even for Big Dogs like yourself and Hagerty? I mean I've never seen any channel or car magazine take on that beauty. And not only it's the sexiest car ever made, it's super interesting as race homolagization special of the Tipo 33. After all they made 30+ examples. Which of course cost tens of millions, but so does 250 series Ferraris and there's tons of stuff regarding those.

@@mcdick Actually it's the other way around - it's far easier to measure sustained G around a skidpad because all you have to do is time the trip around the skidpad and you're done.

Thanks for this vid’! As an owner, just some comments: not precisely the same underneath as a Milano/75. It’s based on the competition 75 - shorter wheel base, race suspension, ground effect, tuned V6 (210 vs 180 PS). I own an SZ, it’s indeed an incredible driving experience. And the design ages surprisingly well: amongst the young 18+ agers (ie my kids), the car is an 80ies design icon. In fact, the car won an award at the 2021 Zurich Classic Car Awards for Youngtimer… One last comment: the best Busso sits in my 147 GTA.

I like the way it looks... Got to the end of the video and the noise is so nice and it looks so settled through all these curves.

There's nothing ugly about this car to me. At all. I'm obsessed with it. It is drenched in 80's Italian swagger. It's perfect.

It's so unique and idiosyncratic, not to mention mechanically bonkers in the best Italian tradition, how would any true gearhead not lust after this car?

I personally love how this looks. It's unique and that big ass only looks bad in the drophead. The SZ looks like a 2-seat F-15 fighter cockpit, and the angular lines a refreshing. Ever since panel makers have figured out multi-vector curves on the cheap every average car has all these insane "emotion" lines. It's the "ugly" ones that care how it drives instead of how it looks. Would daily.

I have to agree! I thoroughly enjoy Jason's Revelations series. It is presented in a very thoughtful manner. The history and reason for the vehicles existence is very well explained. Hey Jason any chance you can do an episode on the vehicles I own? 1985 Alfa Romeo GTV 6 and 1986 BMW Euro Spec M635CSi. Love the show, keep them coming!

Super cool car. #9 on my "wanna have it" list. I've heard about the panel gaps on this car but what is interesting is that THEY MOVE! At 10:52 you can see the hood/fender move some 2 or 3 mm. I can live with that...
