Title:
Alfa Romeo Type 159 Alfetta
Description:
JM Fangio, Campeón mundial F1 1951. Alfa Romeo followed its Grand Prix Championship triumph of 1950 with a repeat performance in 1951 when the Argentinean driver Juan Manuel Fangio won the title after battling with Alberto Ascari in a Ferrari. The winning GP159 single seater was based on the previous year’s 158, designed by Orazio Satta, but with modifications including De Dion type rear suspension, a lighter, reinforced tubular frame, increased braking power, modifications to the body and a new gearbox. Power output was increased to 425 bhp. Nicknamed the Alfetta (Little Alfa) because of its size, it was the most powerful 1500 ever made.
