AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Alfa Romeo TZ2 wears red over the ultra-lightweight fibreglass-bodied 1965 racer. This is a used model, and the box shows traces of storage, though the casting itself is unaffected. Doors and bonnet open to reveal the stripped cockpit and engine bay. A serious competition-bred piece for an Alfa Romeo shelf.
TL;DR: This AUTOart 1:18 diecast Alfa Romeo TZ2 reproduces the 1965 lightweight competition coupe in red, with opening doors and bonnet. The model is used, and its box shows traces of storage. Zinc alloy construction carries the TZ2's sharply creased, race-bred bodywork with real shelf weight.
Where the original Giulia TZ was already a competition special, the TZ2 pushed further still, and a red example on a shelf represents Alfa Romeo's racing department at its most focused.
Detail Work on the AUTOart TZ2
The doors and bonnet on this casting open, showing a stripped-out cockpit built for racing rather than comfort and an engine bay housing the twin-cam four-cylinder that powered this genuinely rare competition special. Zinc alloy gives the model real weight, and the TZ2's sharper, lower bodywork compared with the original TZ, a direct result of its fibreglass rather than aluminium construction, is captured with clean, confident cast lines. The red paint suits the car's competition purpose and carries reasonable depth under a display light. As a used model this piece has been displayed before, and its box shows the traces of storage that come with that history without affecting the casting itself.
An Even More Focused Racing Special
Alfa Romeo built the TZ2 in very limited numbers as a further-developed version of the original TZ, switching to a fibreglass body to save weight and lowering the car's overall profile for better aerodynamics. That extra focus made the TZ2 a genuinely serious competition tool rather than a road car adapted for racing, and its scarcity even in period has made surviving examples highly sought after among Alfa Romeo specialists. A diecast replica gives far more collectors access to that story than the real car ever could.
A Focused Piece for a Competition Shelf
The TZ2's low, sharply creased profile stands out clearly next to rounder road-going Alfa Romeos, making it a natural centrepiece for a dedicated competition or Alfa racing display. Displayed with the bonnet open, it shows the mechanical detail that underpins its serious racing purpose. Given the used condition, checking the door fit and paint under direct light on arrival is sensible, but this remains a genuinely rewarding piece for any Alfa Romeo or 1960s racing collection.
