The Alfa 2000 was the successor to the Alfa 1900 and carried the factory code number AR102. The Alfa 2000 was unveiled at the International Motor Show in Turin in 1957. Since its introduction, it was available in two versions: as a four-door saloon with five seats, designed by Alfa Romeo's own design studios, and as a Spider, designed and built by the Milan-based coachbuilder Touring, which had always worked closely with Alfa Romeo. The engine was a further development of the 1900 cc unit, a 1975 cc four-cylinder in-line engine with twin overhead camshafts, producing 105 bhp in the Berlina and 115 bhp in the Spider. The Spider version was built on the shortened platform of the saloon, with a wheelbase of 2. 5 m compared to the 2. 72 m of the saloon. In 1960, Alfa Romeo added the coupé version, which was named Sprint in keeping with Alfa Romeo tradition. This model was the work of coachbuilder Bertone and featured the same engine block as the Spider. The design of this Sprint foreshadowed some elements of the later Giulia Sprint GT. In total, the following numbers were produced of this top-of-the-range model: 2, 814 saloons; 3, 443 Spiders; 704 Sprints. In 1961, the Alfa 2000 was replaced by the new Alfa 2600.
