Ghia Supersonic Alfa Romeo 1900 'Conrero'
Ghia Supersonic Alfa Romeo 1900 'Conrero'
7.8/10 rating (6 votes)
No video selected.

Description

The Supersonic design first appeared on a Conrero-tuned Alfa Romeo 1900, which was entered in the 1953 Mille Miglia.
Designed by Giovanni Savonuzzi, the body was crafted in metal by Ghia.

The car was just partly an Alfa Romeo, only the engine came from the Alfa 1900, which had been tuned by racing driver Virgilio Conrero.

Ghia's designer Giovanni Savonuzzi, who previously worked for Cisitalia, had manufactured his own chassis with a Fiat 1400 front axle and a rear axle coming from a Lancia Aurelia.

Unfortunately, the car didn't cross the finishline in the 1953 Mille Miglia.
The body had been heavily damaged in a crash.
Conrero restored the chassis and rebodied it with a barchetta style body.

TESTIMONIALS

I am not a natural flatterer, I like to think that I "tell it like it is", politely I hope. So when I tell you that I am very impressed by the contents of your website, it is just not English politeness. I of course love the subject matter but you deal with it in an energetic and respectful manner. I am overwhelmed by the research that has gone into compiling the list of coachbuilders/bodybuilders for Europe and North America. I have never heard of the vast majority of them. Congratulations on an excellent website.
