Starting in 1954, Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo launched a series of small, affordable sports cars based around its all-alloy, 1300-cc, inline, 4-cylinder engine. This new model came to be known as the Giulietta (750 Series) and for the next 10 years would prove to be a fabulously successful offering for Alfa.
By 1962, the Giulietta was badly in need of more horsepower and so a larger, 1600-cc variation of the alloy twin-cam Giulietta engine was produced. This new engine was first mated with the older Giulietta coupé and spider body styles, but was renamed the Giulia (101 Series), to distinguish it from the smaller displacement Giulietta.
