A surprisingly advanced designed car.

1935 Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 Aerodinamica Spider, designed by Italo-Croatians brothers Gino and Oscar Jankovitz.

The Aerodinamica Spider represents:

• The first supercar of “modern” sports car design.

• The first mid-engined car with central driving position (albeit Lancia deposited a patent for a central driven design in 1934).

• The first car designed to take account of newly developed principles of aerodynamics, to provide low-drag both externally and internally.
