1970-1977
ALFA ROMEO MONTREAL
Engine derived from:
1967 Tipo 33 sports racing prototype
The Montreal was born a show car with a speedy body that was calling out for an engine to match. Alfa Romeo discarded the Expo 67 show car's underpowered Giulia TI 1600 four-cylinder and slotted in a special engine--the Tipo 33 V-8, fettled by Alfa Romeo's racing arm, Autodelta. Carlo Chiti, Autodelta leader and ex-Ferrari engineer, had designed a 90-degree, dry sump, 1, 995cc DOHC V-8 that was soon enlarged to 2, 462cc; a detuned version, fitted with Spica fuel injection, powered 1967's road-legal 33 Stradale. The production Montreal's dry sump V-8 displaced 2, 593cc and had a 9.0:1 (versus 10.7:1) compression ratio, as well as a single plug-per-cylinder design (versus twin) with two Bosch electronic capacitor discharge systems firing each plug. Power was rated at 200 at 6, 500 RPM, rather than the original 270hp at 9, 600 RPM, but this was sufficient to allow a 137 MPH top speed.
Alfa Romeo contracted Bertone to design an innovative new sports car in 1967 to reveal to the world at the Expo 67 World's Fair in Montreal. Penned by Marcello Gandini, who created the iconic Miura just one year before, the concept featured innovative side gills and retractable slotted headlight shades on a classic, flowing shape this sleek unnamed coupe was met with much acclaim and began to be colloquially referred to as the Alfa Romeo Montreal.
Three years later, Alfa debuted the Alfa Romeo Montreal as a production model at the 1970 Geneva Auto Salon. While strikingly similar stylistically to the Expo 67 concept, the production model abandoned the Giulia's four-cylinder for a high-revving quad-cam V8 based on the 2.0 liter Tipo 33 Stradale engine. This 90° dry-sump V8 redlined at 7, 000 rpm and brought this stylish coupe to a top speed of nearly 140 mph. While the Montreal offers blistering performance and stunning Marcello Gandini good looks.
