I dont like it at all(both the SZ and the RZ). Yeah it was designed by Zagato and yes it had amazing specs for a road car(it had IMSA suspen. among else). Its clearly one of the most controversial Alfa's. Like in the case of the BMW M Z3 Coupe.

I think this was the road car that could pull more Gs of lateral acceleration!!

Pretty weird, but pretty HOT!

i like it!

The Alfa SZ either you hate it or you love it. Just like in the case of the BMW...

From some angles the car doesn`t look bad at all , but from others.....and especially from the back ......

Like cooperluke said, the car had a very high lateral acceleration thx to it`s elaborated suspension set-up .

Plus , at high speeds the car generated very little lift and had a drag coefficient of 0.30.

So in terms of performance it was awesome

Not for the design ( ugly ), but for the technical solutions adopted fro this car..... all the Alfisti are waiting a return to these solutions :roll:
