Alfa Romeo
75 Turbo Evoluzione

Why it matters

The 75 Turbo Evoluzione was a homologation special: Alfa Romeo built a run of 500 road cars carrying the aerodynamic parts, wide wheels and arches, suspension changes and strengthened engine needed to go touring-car racing. The factory then built six race cars from it for the 1987 World Touring Car Championship. The racing programme was uncompetitive against the BMW M3 and ended mid-season, but the road car became a minor collectible and was never sold in the United States.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

The Alfa 75 replaced the Alfetta saloon in 1985 and was the only Alfa left to race once the two-door GT was dropped. To homologate a race version, Alfa created the Turbo Evoluzione, a 500-car run based on the 1.8-litre turbo, with the engine sleeved down to 1,762 cc so that it fell just inside the FIA 3-litre turbo equivalency class.

Alfa Corse built six race cars, two for the works team and four for independent teams, which ran in the 1987 series. They won the first race only on a technicality and then settled into the midfield; the head of Alfa Corse shut the programme down soon after mid-season and a few cars continued privately.

Identification guide

How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.

The road car is distinguished from the normal 75 Turbo by its air dams, rear spoilers, wide wheels and flared arches, suspension changes and the strengthened, sleeved 1,762 cc block and head. Race cars carry separate chassis designations: the cached RM Sotheby's lots list the works IMSA-style car as chassis AC 022 (sold on a bill of sale only) and a Group A car as AR 10, and warn that another Turbo Evoluzione carries the similar number AR 010, so numbers should be checked against documentation. Sports Car Market notes that documentation for its subject car was unavailable.
