The 4-cylinder 1900 was the result of mass production. If it hadn’t, like so many brands in history, it would have been difficult to survive into the 21st century. Before World War II, Alfa Romeo offered a limited number of exotic models with six- and eight-cylinder engines. However, in the face of the severe post-war economy, the 4-cylinder 1900 announced in November 1950 was the result of searching for mass production in order to survive. Alfa Romeo 1900 Super (1950-1959/European specifications) The company received $2.1 million in financial support at the time under the Marshall Plan, a recovery relief measure applied to European countries, and invested in new factories and equipment. It came true. We were able to proceed with the development of a family saloon that is accessible to the general public. The monthly production of the 1900 was initially planned to be 500 units. Coil springs are used for both the front and rear suspensions, and the rear is a rigid axle. The company’s first mass-produced 4-cylinder engine had a maximum output of 81ps and a maximum speed of 144km/h. In addition, the left-hand drive layout is also the company’s first. Before the war, only right-hand drive models were offered. The chassis was also sold as a single unit, which was greatly appreciated by the Carots area, which handles special bodies. In fact, companies such as Touring and Pininfarina offer their own 1900s. Even if the 17,390 saloons didn’t make a particularly vivid impression in line-off appearance, the 1,900 saloons did garner a solid following. About 7,600 units were produced in the first three years. In the 1930s and 1940s, it was far more than all the models offered by Alfa Romeo combined. Production of the 1900 ended in 1959, but 17,390 saloons alone went off the line. The objectives envisioned by the company were fully achieved. Alfa Romeo 1900 Super (1950-1959/European specification) Following the normal 1900 of 1884cc, the 1975cc 1900 Ti was added in 1951. In addition to the initials of Turismo Internazionale, a twin-choke Weber carburetor is given, and the maximum output rises to 94ps. Top speed reached over 160km/h. In 1954, a Ti Super with a twin solex carburetor and a high compression ratio also appeared. The valve diameter has been enlarged, and the maximum output has reached 101ps. From this year, all 1900s have also undergone improvements to the rear axle position. On the other hand, more and more voices expected Alfa Romeo to have a 6-cylinder engine. The market demanded smaller and lighter models, but there was also a certain demand for high-end models. About 10 years after the end of the war, Italy gradually shifted to a booming economy. The so-called middle class was beginning to have money to spend. In 1955, Alfa Romeo introduced the Giulietta with a 1.3L engine. In addition, it was making steady profits with a model that was aimed at the masses. The desire to build a large Alfa Romeo must have been growing within the company.Images of twin-cam engines suitable for sports cars
