The TZ2 (Tubolare Zagato 2) represents the exclusively competition-oriented evolution of the Alfa Romeo TZ — lighter, lower and even more focused in its pursuit of performance.
Built between 1965 and 1967 in only eight examples, the TZ2 featured a lower-mounted engine, 13-inch wheels and a lightweight fibreglass body by Zagato, reducing weight while increasing rigidity and aerodynamic efficiency. Powered by a 1.6-litre twin-cam engine producing 170 bhp, it quickly established itself as one of the most competitive Italian sports cars of its era.
Developed by Autodelta, Alfa Romeo’s official racing department, the TZ2 achieved class victories at the Monza 1000 Km and the Targa Florio, while also competing at the Nürburgring 1000 Km. Among the drivers who helped shape its competition legacy was Florentine racer Romano Martini, who won the 1966 Italian Sports Car Championship in the up-to-1,600 cc class.
Today, it remains one of the most significant and authentic competition Alfa Romeos of the 1960s.
At Anantara Concorso Roma, this extraordinary Alfa Romeo TZ2 Zagato was awarded CLASSE VIII – VESTITE LEGGERE DA ZAGATO.
