Protoy types based on Alfa Romeo
Among the cars on display are the prototype Alfa Romeo Alfasud Sprint, an alternative to the later Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT Coupé, the Lancia Flavia 2000 Super Sport Zagato, the Lancia Flamninia Marica by Ghia, the Autobianchi A112 Giovane by Pininfarina, the De Tomaso Pantera 7X by Ghia, the Lancia Sbilio by Bertone and the Fiat 850 T Visitors Bus by Bertone. A Zagato Zele and a Vespa are also on display, as well as selected design items from the period. In addition, the famous Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ "Coda Tronca" of 1961 can be admired as a prototype restored on one side, which has won international awards.
Rare vehicles from Italo production
Until further notice, the special show can be seen in the Car Hall at the Museum of Transport in Lucerne. It is certainly not an everyday exhibition, but one that is well worth seeing, as these exclusive cars are extremely rare to see in public and even rarer in Switzerland. Further information is available on the website of the Museum of Transport.
