The Alfa Romeo 6C name was used on road, race, and sports cars produced between 1927 and 1954 by Alfa Romeo; the "6C" name refers to the car's straight-six engine.
In 1930, the Gran Sport was Alfa Romeo's fourth series 6C and their most capable sports-racing car. Fitted with competition bodywork, Tazio Nuvolari drove one to overall victory at the IV Coppa delle Mille Miglia and Giuseppe Campari repeated the feat in 1931 with his.
Like all of the 6C series, the Gran Sport benefited from Vittorio Jano's excellent engineering and design principles. It was an updated version of the 6C 1750 Super Sport from 1929 which had similar specification. One of the largest changes introduced with the 4th series Gran Sport was a modified Roots-type supercharger that operated at engine speed and with larger rotors.
The 1750 was produced in six series and became more sophisticated from 1929 to 1933. In total, about 2500 cars were completed
In the Mille Miglia of 2009 this car with chassis number 915776 was driven by the team of Farina (IT) & Capozio (IT)
