Print - Jorge Arcuri - Alfa Romeo 158/59 - 1972

The Alfa Romeo 158/159, also known as the Alfetta, is one of the most iconic grand prix racing cars in automotive history. Originally designed and raced before and after World War II, the 158 debuted in the late 1930s and evolved significantly into the 1950s. The car was powered by a supercharged inline eight-cylinder engine that delivered remarkable performance and helped establish Alfa Romeo’s dominance in early Formula One racing. Notably, the Alfa Romeo 158/159 secured the first two World Championship titles in 1950 and 1951, driven by legendary racers such as Nino Farina and Juan Manuel Fangio. This print from 1972 likely commemorates the car’s esteemed heritage and its technical and aesthetic significance in racing history, capturing the sleek lines and racing spirit that made the Alfetta a lasting symbol of Alfa Romeo's sportscar pedigree.
