The Alfa Romeo TZ3 is a homage to the Giulia TZ made by Zagato in two versions in 2010, to celebrate Alfa Romeo’s centenary: the one-off track car TZ3 Corsa and the road-going TZ3 Stradale, of which only nine were built. The name was shortened from Giulia TZ to TZ in 2011.

History of the Alfa Romeo TZ3
Both cars were made in 2010 to celebrate 100 years of Alfa Romeo. The TZ3 Corsa, built for the German collector Martin Kapp on the Gillet Vertigo.5, is a one-off that was first presented at, and won, the 2010 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. The TZ3 Stradale was designed by Norihiko Harada of Zagato and built on a chassis based on the Dodge Viper ACR-X, re-bodied for the road; only nine units were made.
