The Alfa Romeo Giulietta (series 750 and 101) was a subcompact automobile manufactured by the Italian car maker Alfa Romeo from 1954 to 1965.

The first Giulietta model was a coupé, the Giulietta Sprint, introduced in late 1954. This was followed by a sedan in spring 1955 and in mid 1955, the open two-seat Giulietta Spider, featuring convertible bodywork by Pininfarina.

Carrozzeria Colli made also Giulietta station wagon variant called Giulietta Promiscua. This version was built 91 examples.Cite web|url=http://www.pestalozzi.net/sb/alfa_giulia/index.html|title=Alfa Romeo Giulia Promiscua|accessdate=2007-06-23|work=pestalozzi.net] Carrozzeria Boneschi made also few station wagon examples called Weekendina.Cite web|url=http://gulpmodel.interfree.it/103.html|title=ALFA ROMEO GIULIETTA WEEKENDINA CARROZZERIA BONESCHI|accessdate=2007-06-23|work=gulpmodel.interfree.itIt icon]

Giulietta engines

The Giulietta used an Alfa Romeo Twin Cam engine of 1290 cc straight-4, with light alloy cylinder block and alloy cylinder head with twin overhead camshafts. The original Giulietta engine produced a power output of 53 bhp in the sedan and 80 bhp in the Giulietta Sprint. [David Owen, Great Marques Alfa Romeo, P46] This was to be increased to 100 bhp in later sporting models such as the Giulietta Sprint Speciale and the Giulietta Sprint SZ (Sprint Zagato).

Giulietta models

Nuova Giulietta

In 1977, Alfa Romeo introduced the Nuova Giulietta. This was not a development of the original Giulietta of 1954-1965, but a design based on the Alfa Romeo Alfetta chassis (including its rear mounted transaxle).
