Autodelta GT Super | Inspiration More > Supercharging has a particularly special place in Alfa Romeo's rich and fabulous sporting history, a tradition which cannot be overlooked with the launch of Autodelta's GT Super. The first supercharged Alfa Romeo was introduced in 1923, after Giuseppe Merosi's unsuccessful Gran Premio Romeo project was handed over to a young and gifted engineer called Vittorio Jano. Later to become known by Alfa Romeo as 'Il Genio' (The Genius), Jano had attracted the attention of Alfa Romeo's directors through the recommendation of Enzo Ferrari, the famous factory racing driver who had become familiar with the racing success of Jano's Fiat 805. Alfa managed to lure Jano away from Fiat and his beloved hometown of Turin by doubling his salary. Vittorio Jano became recognised as Enzo Ferrari's most famous recommendation of all time. . . |
