Alfa Romeo 75 Sportwagon

The Alfa Romeo 75 Sportwagon, unveiled by Rayton Fissore in 1986, was a special, limited-production variant of the iconic Alfa Romeo 75 sedan. Designed for those who desired a unique combination of performance and practicality, the Sportwagon version featured a sleek and stylish wagon body that was rarely seen in the sedan-based Alfa Romeo lineup. The Sportwagon model stood out not just for its distinct design but also for the variety of engine configurations offered. Several versions of the car were produced, each showcasing a different powertrain, making the model even more intriguing for enthusiasts. One notable example was a metallic gray-colored version, powered by a 2000 carburetor twin-shaft engine. Another model in gray-green featured a 2500 V6, configured with the sporty Quadrifoglio Verde setup. The most remarkable version, known as the “Turbowagon,” was finished in the signature Rosso Alfa color and featured an 1800 Bialbero Turbo engine, offering a more performance-focused experience. Additionally, there was a version with a metallic gray finish and a 2000 engine, though some speculate it may have been powered by the 2400 engine instead. A version with the 2500 V6 engine was also rumored to exist, offering another layer of diversity to the Sportwagon lineup. The inclusion of a Turbodiesel option, powered by a 2000 or 2400 Turbodiesel VM engine, further added to the range of configurations available for those looking for a more fuel-efficient, but still distinctive, option. While it is difficult to verify the exact number of units produced, rumors suggest that as few as seven total specimens of the Alfa Romeo 75 Sportwagon were built. Whether seven or more, the limited production of this special model, combined with its striking design and engine variety, makes the Alfa Romeo 75 Sportwagon by Rayton Fissore a rare and coveted piece of automotive history.
