GT5 Transcripts/Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint Speciale '63

Alfa Romeo's Giulia series, which became the successor to the Giulietta, was announced in June of 1962 and began mass production the following year. The name Giulia meant "older sister to Giulietta" and this was evident in the engine displacement. In contrast to the 1.3-liter engine of the Giulietta, the Giulia was equipped with an all-around larger 1.6-liter DOHC inline-4 engine. 
The Giulia series with its 4-door sedan, 2-door coupe, and Spider bodies was provided to many large and small carrozzerias (car factories) in Italy, spawning many special custom models. Alfa Romeo purchased some of these popular or mass producible models, and produced them in small numbers as catalog models. One representative example of these is the Giulia Spring Speciale. 
Also called by the abbreviation SS, this car's design was penned by the chief styling of Bertone at the time, Franco Scaglione. While the styling is similar to that of the Sprint Speciale Giulietta, the body size was increased and the Giulia Sprint Speciale had a generally roomier overall feel. 
The 1,570 cc 8-valve twin-cam engine was tuned up to 110 HP, and the lightweight 950 kg body could be driven at a top speed of 124 mph. Distinguishing it at a glance from the Giulietta version Sprint Speciale was the plastic insect screen in front of the windshield. Only a small number of these Giulia Sprint Speciale were produced between 1962 and 1966. As a scarce Alfa Romeo model, the SS has become a treasured collector's item.
