Alfa Romeo's long history is littered with broken dreams: tantalizingly beautiful vehicles that, for one reason or another, never became a production reality. One such vehicle is the 2000 Sportiva from 1954: perhaps the sexiest automobile that Alfa Romeo never made.

While the 1900 Spider was essentially an all-out racing car, devoid of any weather protection and with little consideration for practicality, the 2000 Sportiva was intended as more of a Gran Turismo, capable of similar performance but offering a minimum degree of comfort for road use.
Although Alfa Romeo toyed with the idea of a limited production of the 2000 Sportiva, going so far as displaying it in the Turin Motor Show as late as 1956, it was not to be.
The Milanese company, by then, already had its hands full trying to keep up with the strong demand for the new Giulietta and could not spare the resources needed to go ahead with the 2000 Sportiva, of which only two examples were ultimately built.
