Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 Aerodinamica Spider '1935
The Aerospider was the first mid-engined and low drag racing car of modern design. The car had all the features of a high speed racing car together with a stunning appearance.
The breathtaking aerodynamic shape of the car also anticipated the later high speed designs of Auto Union by 4 years. It was designed by Oscar Jankovits , who was probably in contact with Josef Mickl , Porsche’s specialist of aerodynamics, and others of the former Habsburg Empire as Paul Jaray, the inventor of streamlined cars, and Bela Barenyi, the inventor of the “Volkswagen”. The exceptional streamlined steel body was built by workers at the Jankovits Garage in Fiume between 1936 and 1937.
