History
The Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 had been the last car of the series produced before the Second World War, so in 1946 in the Portello plants (semi-destroyed by bombing) it was the first to go into production, joined by the Turismo, Sport and Super versions. Sport.
In fact, the chassis of the 250 in the post-war version (with Porsche-type rear axle with independent wheels) was among the most advanced of the entire world production and in any case better than what was proposed by the newborn Ferrari.
The fastening system of the bodywork had also changed, no longer bolted but welded to the side members of the chassis, a novelty brought to its debut by the &C 2500 "Freccia d'Oro", the new 4/5-seater Coupè, characterized by a modern "two volumes” with a rounded tail (nicknamed Gobbone).
The "Freccia d'oro" were assembled by Carrozzeria Alfa, forerunner of the Alfa Romeo Style Center and were equipped with a 90 HP engine which allowed them to reach 155 km/h.
Their success in sports competitions is almost obvious, above all thanks to their proverbial reliability. In 1950, two 6C "Freccia d'Oro" took part in the 1950 Carrera Panamericana, the no. 90 by Taruffi and 103 by Bonini-Bonetto.
From 1947 to 1950, 2,500 examples were produced, of which only 680 were "Freccia d'Oro".
