We are delighted to offer this special Alfa Romeo 75 Turbo Evoluzione for sale. One of 500 (at the most) built in the Spring of 1987 to homologate the 75 series to Group A specification. Alfa Corse - the factory's in house competitions' arm - raced the Alfa Romeo 75 Turbo in top-flight touring car racing, its array of drivers including Nicola Larini and Gabriele Tarquini, former F1 pilots Sandro Nannini and Jacques Laffite, as well as the Indycar legend and former FIA F1 World Champion, Mario Andretti.
