History
Alfa Romeo 1900 CSS Zagato
The 1900 CSS (Corsa Super Sprint) represented Alfa Romeo's return to sporting competition after World War II. Zagato's aluminum bodywork dramatically reduced weight compared to standard 1900 Sprint models, while the double-overhead-cam four-cylinder engine was tuned for competition. These cars dominated Italian touring car racing in the mid-1950s, with drivers like Juan Manuel Fangio occasionally competing in them. Production was limited to approximately 200 units, with many later modified or crashed in competition. Surviving original examples are highly prized for their racing heritage and pure driving experience.
