Alfa Romeo TZ3 dimensions

The Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale by Zagato is based on the Viper ACR mechanical chassis with a carbon fibre body. Bellezza necessaria is the inspiration of this vehicle which matches for the first time an USA performance train and can represent the first American Alfa Romeo.

Following Zagato's gentlemen-driver heritage, Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa has been commissioned by the Alfa Romeo Zagato collector Martin Kapp. The first Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale has been provided to the US Alfa Romeo and Zagato collector (and Saratoga Automobile Museum's board member) Eric King. The Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale n°2 and n°3 will be provided in Japan and Europe.

Both Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa and Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale boast a typical Kamm-tail (k-tail) design. This solution became famous in Italy with the Coda Tronca bodies which were tested by Zagato in the beginning of the 60s. They reached their apex on the Alfa Romeo TZ and TZ2. Kamm Effect is part of the functional layout approach that aims to the aerodynamic efficiency. According to this, the CX can be lowered by keeping compact volumes at the same time. The reduction of the wind resistance is assured with the Kamm Tail layout, without any need of a very stretched drop shape of the tail.
