About the Alfa Romeo TZ2 Red AUTOart 1:18
TL;DR: This AUTOart 1:18 Alfa Romeo TZ2 in red reproduces the 1965 racer, with opening doors and hood. It is a used model, and the box shows traces of storage. A rare, fiberglass-bodied evolution of the original TZ, built purely for competition.
Alfa Romeo and Zagato developed the TZ2 as a more extreme version of the original TZ, swapping aluminum for fiberglass bodywork and lowering the roofline further to cut weight and aerodynamic drag for racing.
Diecast Build of the TZ2 Racer
The zinc-alloy body carries a solid weight, and the doors and hood both open, exposing the compact engine that the TZ2's reduced weight allowed to compete against far larger-displacement rivals. Panel gaps sit a bit wider than the sharpest resin tooling would produce, standard for this tier, but the lower, more aggressive roofline that separates the TZ2 from the original TZ comes through with real clarity in the casting. The red paint holds an even gloss suited to a pure racing subject rather than a road-going finish. This is a used example, and the outer box shows traces of storage, wear the carton has picked up over time that leaves the model itself unaffected.
The TZ2's Rarity Within Alfa Romeo's Racing History
Alfa Romeo built the TZ2 in genuinely small numbers, reserved almost entirely for factory-backed competition rather than customer sales, which gives it a scarcity that the more numerous original TZ does not share. Its fiberglass construction also marked a technical step forward for the model line, one that period racers valued specifically for the weight it saved over the earlier aluminum-bodied car. Displayed next to a standard TZ, this TZ2 makes the differences in roofline and proportion immediately visible.
