The SSZ Stradale is an automobile developed by Tom Zatloukal, an Alfa Romeo racer and restorer, that was produced between 1984 and 1999.
[5] The third prototype had tilt front and rear, side air outlets, a new taillight configuration, and an elongated greenhouse.
The first production SSZ Stradale featured an all-new tubular chassis combined with a Kevlar-reinforced fiberglass body.
[6] These cars were powered by an Alfa Romeo 3.0 L V6 engine with a 5-speed overdrive transmission coupled to an adjustable ratio live axle.
[citation needed] Although the chassis and suspension were the same, as the Mark 1 cars, the power was increased to over 500 hp (373 kW) by utilizing a Nissan 3.0 L, four-valve, turbocharged engine.
Mark 1 and 2 cars won numerous events in SCCA club racing including the Continental Challenge and 5 track records.
Elvira, the first Mk 3 auto, set three track records, had seven wins, and placed fifth in the United States Road Racing Championship.
The Motorama Auto Museum in Wisconsin features over fifty vintage Alfa Romeos, several SSZ Stradales, prototypes, and other cars from around the world.
