The Alfa Romeo 2600 was introduced in March of 1962 at the Geneva Motorshow. The 2600 was the replacement for the 2000. The Sprint was a four-seater coupe, easily recognizable by the hood ducts, powered by a six-cylinder engine and based on the 2600 Spider and Saloon. A few of the bodies were outfitted by Italian coachbuilder Zagato and were sold as the 2600 SZ.
For the Spider and Sprint models, a 2584 cc straight six-cylinder, alloy dual overhead cam engine with triple carburetors was capable of producing 145 horsepower. The berlina models had 130 horsepower. Placed in the front and powering the rear wheels, it could propel from zero to sixty in 10.4 seconds and had a top speed of 125 mph. Disc brakes were placed on the front and drum brakes were in the rear. A five-speed manual gearbox was standard.
The Sprint series continued in production until 1966. Production of the 2600 continued until 1969. During its lifespan, 105 Sprint Zagatos, 54 De Luxe, 2,038 Berlina, 2,255 Spider, and 6,999 Sprint models were produced.
