The Alfa Romeo Montreal is a 2+2 coupé automobile produced by the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo from 1970 to 1977.
Concept car
The Alfa Romeo Montreal was introduced as a concept car in 1967 at Expo 67, held in Montreal, Canada, and was named after that city. It was a 2+2 coupe using the 1600 cc engine of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti and the chassis of the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT, with a body designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone. One of the two prototypes built for Expo 67 is preserved in Museo Storico Alfa Romeo in Arese, Italy.
Production version
The first production car, Tipo 10564, was shown at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show and was quite different from the original, using a 2593 cc V8 engine with SPICA (Società Pompe Iniezione Cassani & Affini) fuel injection that produced around Template:Auto bhp, coupled to a five-speed ZF gearbox and a limited-slip differential. This engine was derived from the 2-litre V8 used in the 33 Stradale and in the Tipo 33 sports prototype racer.[2]The chassis and running gear of the production Montreal were taken from the Giulia GTV coupé and comprised double wishbone suspension with coil springs and dampers at the front and a live axle with limited slip differential at the rear.[2]Stylistically most eye catching feature is car's front end with four headlamps covered with unusual "grilles".
The Montreal remained generally unchanged until it was discontinued in 1977. Total number built was 3917 of which only four were sold to buyers in Montreal, Quebec. A Montreal can be seen in 1974 The Marseille Contract movie where Michael Caine drives a metallic dark brown example.
