Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ Berlinetta Prototipo "Vico" 1965

[NART512]

History:
In response to Alfa Romeo’s request for a TZ successor, Autodelta’s co-founder Ludovico Chizzola built this prototype for Alfa Romeo to consider as a replacement. After completion, this unique Alfa Romeo remained the Chizzola family. The car is made mainly out of fiberglass and it have a very low pushed back engine mount allowing for better weight balance.

Very little is known about this car! Additional information is more than welcomed!

Is that really a Alfa Romeo? It's to ugly for that hehe Na I can't lay a vote on this car

Never heard of this before. Proportionally, the styling is way off. It looks like a 'Cut and Shut' with the front from a much smaller car than that of the rear.

Yes, the car looks a little ugly (mainly the front, the rear is fine) , have seen uglier cars but it's a historic prototype and deserves to be preserved.

It says is a TZ, so I suppose that the "Z" stands for Zagato. The "T" for "Tubolare" which refers to Autodelta, after searching seems that the used for this prototype a Giulia TZ and in fact is this car an unofficial prototype.

This car was also known as the "Vico", the name of it's designer Chizzola de Vico.

The car was based on the tube frame chassis of the TZ, the it get a coupe fiberglass with hinged doors and with deeply recessed motor to achieve a better weight distribution. The vehicle remained in the hands of Chizzola until 2000 and then changed hands. The car is later offered for sale.

No further information available about this very rare car.
