The Story Of The Unforgettable Alfa Romeo 75 Milano

#alfaromeo #alfa75 #history
Launched on May 17, 1985, the Alfa 75 owed its name to the seventy-fifth anniversary of the company's foundation in Milan and, although there was little to celebrate about the state of the company, the Alfa 75 itself went on to become a success, at least in its home market of Italy.
Due to budgetary constraints, the Alfa 75 wasn't an all-new model but rather a comprehensive evolution of the Giulietta it replaced, of which maintained the running gear and most of the body structure, doors included.
However, the creatives at Alfa Romeo's design center, headed by Ermanno Cressoni, cleverly disguised the carry-over doors via a plastic molding that ran around the car and emphasized its dynamic wedge profile, becoming its main styling feature. Under the hood of the Alfa 75, no surprises awaited the traditional Alfa Romeo customer, once again presented with the company's long-established range of twin-cam inline-4 engines between 1.6 and 2 liters of displacement fed by two side-draft carburetors.
But the uncontested peak of the range was, of course, the Alfa 75 2.5 V6, equipped with the same sweet, melodious fuel-injected V6 engine already on use in the GTV6 coupès. Like those, the 75 V6 also needed its specific bonnet pressing to clear the tall engine plenum.
