Alfa Romeo 2000 and 2600
After a period of post-war austerity, in 1957 Alfa Romeo decided it was time to re-enter the market for luxury/executive class cars with a new range designed for the growing number and prosperity of potential customers. Thus, the first models in the new 2000 series emerged, followed by the 2600 series in 1962. That they were not hugely successful, although some 18,540 were manufactured between 1957 and 1966, can be attributed to a number of factors, principally cost. Largely ignored for many years, these cars are now recognized as a significant element in Alfa Romeo's history and this book is a valuable record of their story. Richly illustrated with over 200 colour and black & white photographs, this book introduces the history of the company and its early designs; describes the early Berlina saloon, Spider convertible and Sprint coupe, and their development into the 2600 series; details the evolution of the 1900-based engine into the 6-cylinder 2600 engine; provides a history of the SZ Sprint Zagato; includes information on prototypes, show specials, specification tables, colour schemes and production numbers and, finally, includes a chapter on owning a 2000 or 2600.
Giovanni Klaus Koenig
Giovanni Klaus Koenig (1924-1989) è stato architetto, designer di mezzi di trasporto su rotaia, docente universitario, appassionato studioso di treni e di tram, critico dell’architettura contemporanea, storico dell’industrial design, intellettuale impegnato nella soluzione dei problemi della sua città, Firenze. Il tutto in anni nei quali l’attenzione critico-operativa sull’attuale era inusuale, la disciplina del design da fondare, la pratica progettuale in seno alle aziende di materiale rotabile da parte di un architetto insolita. Il testo si propone di ricostruirne la figura a specchio con il contesto cittadino e con quello nazionale sia con l’apporto di quanti l’hanno avuto come interlocutore sia con il contributo di studiosi che hanno approfondito alcuni temi della sua ricerca. L’obiettivo non si limita alla mera ricomposizione di una figura culturalmente incisiva, ma si propone di indicare allo studioso di oggi ambiti da approfondire, le ‘scie fosforescenti’ che ci ha lasciato in eredità.
