PININFARINA’S LATEST DESIGN ON THE ALFA ROMEO 2-LITRE chassis is this Type 33 special prototype, which is expected to be the first of a small series of similar cars built in cooperation with Alfa Romeo. The doors are of the “gull-wing” type, hinged at the top, and the passenger compartment is separated from the rear engine compartment by a double-thickness glass wall which isolates heat and noise but pennits rear vision. The air inlets behind the doors supply the engine and cool the rear brakes. The engine is the 1998 c.c. V8 producing 235 b.h.p. The gearbox has six speeds, and the car will reach 160 m.p.h.
