Descrizione
The Montreal was built as a concept car for the 1967 Montreal Expo. Based on Alfa's four-cylinder 105 series (Giulia/ 1750) platform, it sported bodywork by Marcello Gandini of Bertone. Created in only six months, the show car looked like a cousin of Gandini's Lamborghini Miura and the later L
The car was previewed at the 1970 Geneva motor show. Since the original concept car hadn't really had a name, Alfa dubbed the production model the “Montreal.”
For the Montreal, the V8 was bored and stroked to 2, 593cc, trading the racing engine's 10, 000-rpm redline for midrange torque. The results: 200 hp at 6, 500 rpm and 173 lb-ft of torque at 4, 750 rpm, necessitating the adoption of a five-speed ZF gearbox with greater torque capacity than the Alfa five-speed.
