The Alfa Romeo Alfasud Sprint (later only Alfa Romeo Sprint) is a boxer-engined coupé produced by the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo from 1976 to 1989, and based on the Alfa Romeo Alfasud. Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign it debuted at the 1976 Turin Auto show, based on the Alfasud, it had a lower, more angular design, featuring a hatchback (although no folding rear seats). The Alfasud Sprint was assembled together with the Alfasud in the Pomigliano d'Arco plant, located in southern Italy hence the Sud moniker (south in Italian) <br />
<br />
In May 1978 the Alfasud Sprint underwent its first updates, both cosmetic and technical. Engine choice was enlarged to two boxers, shared with the renewed Alfasud ti, a 79 PS 1.3 (1,350 cc) and an 85 PS 1500 (1490cc). Outside many exterior details were changed from chrome to matte black stainless steel or plastic ornamentation and the front turn signals switched from white to amber lenses and interiors were refreshed.  in June 1979, another engine update arrived and the Alfasud Sprint became the Alfasud Sprint Veloce by virtue of double twin-choke carburettors and a higher compression output of 86 and 95PS  respectively for the 1.3 and 1.5 engines.<br />
<br />
In February 1983 Alfa Romeo updated all of its sports cars; the Sprint received a major facelift.  Thereafter the Alfasud prefix and Veloce suffix were abandoned, and the car was known as Alfa Romeo Sprint; <br />

The Alfa Romeo 2600 (series 106) was Alfa Romeo´s six-cylinder flagship produced from 1961 to 1968. the 2600 was introduced in the 1962 Geneva Motor Show and from a sales point of view the 2600 models were not a success despite deserved acclaim for its excellent engine.<br />
<br />
The 2600 Sprint made more of an impression. It was a large, grand touring coupé which could seat four adults in comfort over long journeys at high speeds The car also inherited the sharp, modern Bertone styling of its predecessor, the 2000 Sprint,  That shape had been the result of Giorgetto Giugiaro's first major project as head designer for Carrozeria Bertone, <br />
