40 years ago, on November 3, 1971, the premiership of the first mass small-scale Alfa Romeo Alfasud was held at the Turin Auto Show. With a view of the sea. Alfa Romeo Alfasoud 1200 (internal code 901) in basic performance (1972-1976). ). Under the bonnet-oppositing four-cylinder motor water cooling with the upper distribution intervals. Working capacity is 1,186 cubic metres. see , capacity is 63 l. c. The gear box is a four-step. The speed is 150 km/h, the fuel consumption is 8,0 l/100 km, the car received its name ... from the plant where it was released. The Milan company did not without influence of the authorities opened a leading enterprise in the area of Poligliano del Arco, in the environ of Naples, one of the poorest regions of the Apennine peninsula. This place with the view of Vesuvius has been abandoned since the war of the Alfa Romeo aircraft factory. Here, on 240 hectares, new shops were erected and the former factory airfield turned into a modern test track. When they announced a set of workers, a huge crowd of over 100,000 applicants was gathered outside. The new factory provided employment to 16,000 local farmers. Alfa Romeo Alfasoud Rudolf Grushka (2. 6. 1915-4. 12. (...) (...) -The last of the "great Austrians", the representatives of the Vienna technical school, the appearance of Alfasud escalated the relations between Alfa Romeo and Fiat, since the companies had an unspoken agreement not to enter the classes where they could compete with each other. But Fiat has released a luxury 130, which Alfa Romeo has responded with a littlest. The car was designed by Austrian engineer Rudolf Grushka, whose shoulders were the cooperation with Ferdinand Porsche himself and participation in the creation of the Tiger tank. Building Alfasud. The three-door modification of the upgraded Ti (Turismo Internazionale) model was shown from 1973 to 1978. She's got an engine with a 68 l capacity motor. and a five-speed gearbox that led to a significant reduction in fuel consumption -- after the 1973 energy crisis, it was more than relevant. A version of 1.3 l was 6.3 l/100 km, version 1.5 l-8.4 l/100 km Creation of Alfasud marked the triumphant return of Gruška to Alfa Romeo, where it had already started mass models 1900 and Giulietta in the mid-1950s. Later, due to the controversy with the leadership, Gruška went to SIMCA and then to Fiat. Alfasud Salon. These armchairs were easy to get up, for example, in "Jugouli"-although Fiat was only controlled by the company in 1986, however, in 1967, a phone call from the new Alfa Romeo Giuseppe Lorraga was heard in his house. He made the engineer a tempting offer: not to limit itself, to design a completely new model. Possibly, Grushka thought about Porsche and his legendary beetle. Anyway, the car got an oppositing four-cylinder engine! But since the engine was at the front and rotated the front wheels, it is a comparison with the very popular Citroen GS in those years. The Ti version was presented as sporty, which was emphasized by military headlights, wheels without caps and interior decoration. There were 185,665 Ti cars out of the 27 Engineers hired by Gruška in 48 months, spending 276 billion liras on it-an amount that is quite difficult to comprehend in the light of rapid Italian inflation. The design was carried out by the popularity of the ItalDesign atelier, with Judezharo as an engineer Gruška almost blanking the iconic Italian czumaler Carlo Felice Bianchi Anderloni (founder of Touring). There were three types of body, three-and five-door hatchbacks and a station wagon. (The Sprint will then be added to them.) On his own initiative, Judejo built a futuristic show-stopper Caimano for the Turin Auto Show. Interior Alfasud 1. 5 Ti Serial Alfasud was distinguished by progressive technical solutions. For example, he had a gas tank in a safe area under the back seat, while many of the vehicles in that period were still in the back of the seat or behind the seat. The back of the back sofa was folded into a perfectly flat space with the trunk field. The front chairs were adjustable for height and seat back angle, and the steering column was also adjusted. The electric cooling fan was applied to the cooling system. The braking system was two-contoured. The name of Giardinietta ("Wagonchik") was given by Alfasud. From 1975 to 1978, the car was produced with a motor of 1.2 l, then replaced with a more powerful 1.3 l (1286 cubic metres. see ) and, from 1978 to 1980, equipped the station wagon with an even more powerful 1.3 litre motor volume 1351 "Cube". The latter is the most valuable version for collectors, since only 655 vehicles have been made. However, to meet the Alfasud estate station in the museum is already rare. There were only 5,899 copies! At Alfasud, among the first vehicles were low-profile tyres (dimension 165 /70R13). Quite unusual for a small car, there was a selection of disc brakes on all the wheels, with the front wheels located close to the main gear to reduce unsprable masses. However, on the Alfa Romeo 33 model, the development of Alfasud, the brakes had been subjected to deep revision. The heat from the front was difficult; the rear wheels from the front wheels were rapidly corroding the front wheels. In the history of Alfa Romeo there were vans, trucks, buses and even trolleybuses. But none of these machines has failed so deafly as an Alfasud Giardinietta. Even on a level floor in general, Gruška created a car with outstanding driving qualities, as evidenced by the suspension of the suspension (front of McPherson, the rear beam on springs with the thrust of Pan and the two Watts), and a rather "short" steering gear. Alfasud 1.5 Sprint is George Judejo (902). The purchase of Sprint was equipped with motors 1.3 l; 1.5 l; 1.7 l and was released from 1976 to 1989. That is when Alfasud is not remembered. A total of 116,552 cars, named after the car, became the Achilles ' fifth project. Alfa Romeo planned to produce 500 cars a day with the prospect of reaching the thousandth mark. However, this performance could not be achieved. At first, we were barely able to collect 70 cars a day. Attempts to intensify the production led to marriage, and the fight against the rathodels resulted in strikes. Such strikes in the history of Alfasud's production have taken place near seven hundred. What to do, southern mentality! Alfasud 1.5 Sprint is George Judejo (902). The purchase of Sprint was equipped with motors 1.3 l; 1.5 l; 1.7 l and was released from 1976 to 1989. That is when Alfasud is not remembered. A total of 116,552 cars were made. The excellent Alfasud construction could not outweigh the disgusting quality of the car. The reputation of Alfa Romeo was badly damaged. The low corrosion resistance of Alfasud has become negative. It is not clear why the machines were so rust-whether because of the wet sea-air (the bodies were kept in open warehouses and could be used to settle sea salt), or whether the quality of the sheet steel of the USSR was of low quality. Although Alfasud has become the most popular model in the history of Alfa Romeo (only 1,017,387 cars were produced before 1983), the project turned into a commercial disaster for the company. Forget about Alfasud! This is the Sprint Quadrifiglio Verde, a special version of the 1987 Grand Prix. 1.5 l, 105 litre with , 186 km/h.
