Another contributing factor was the exceptional response from the throttle and engine. The well-tuned suspension, which was stiff but not too hard, enabled an energy-effective driving style. With a curb weight of 920 kg and an output of 85 hp at 4500/min, the Gran Sport reached 145 km/hr, an amazing speed for a 1930 car that was well below two liters of displacement. For most challenging races, Alfa Romeo equipped its official GS racing cars with fused cylinder heads and an eight-bearing crankshaft to muster 102 hp at 5000/min. Later on, the curb weight was reduced to 840 kg, enabling the 1930 GS to be capable of reaching a top speed up to 170 km/hr. Apparently, such technological improvements gave Tazio Nuvolari and his co-pilot Guidotti an advantage as they raced their 6C 1750 GS with starting no. 84 in the 1930 Mille Miglia endurance race. But their arch-rival Achille Varzi was also driving a 6C 1750 GS, so a heated competition unfolded between them. Drivers of both cars exerted their skills to the utmost and even employed tricky maneuvers. Legend has it that under the cover of nightfall, Nuvolari turned off the headlights as his car drew closer and closer to Varzi from behind. When he was right behind his opponent, Nuvolari suddenly switched on the three glaring headlights and surpassed a bedazzled Varzi at full speed to win the race. Since then, the three headlights capped with red plastic covers have been one of the most distinctive features for identifying the pre-war racing models made by Alfa Romeo. It should be mentioned that at the 1930 Mille Miglia, the first four places in the overall standings were all taken by Alfa factory cars, with the winner Tazio Nuvolari achieving an average speed of over 100 km/hour. A true masterpiece of architecture model! Items will be carefully packed and sent with tracking information.
