The Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ (also known as the Alfa Romeo TZ or Tubolare Zagato) was a small sports car manufactured by Alfa Romeo from 1963 to 1967. It replaced the Giulietta SZ.

To celebrate Alfa's 100 years, Zagato designed a one-off car that was first presented and won the 2010 edition of the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este in Italy.

This unique car, based on the 8C Competizione, was made for German collector Martin Kapp and is not intended for sale or for competitions.

The car weights 850 kg (1,874 lb) thanks to its carbon fiber frame and hand beaten aluminium body and has 420 hp (313 kW) dry sump V8 4.2 litre engine. The car has a 6-speed sequential gearbox, it reaches a top speed of over 300 km/h (186 mph) and it can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.5 seconds.

It's hard not to like a Kyosho. I do think I might like it better if it was the true red instead of yellow, since it is a one-off car. Apart from that it is very nice!

Great choice for COTD, one of my favorite Kyosho Alfa's. What a great looking car, pity they didn't mass produce it.

Wow, this is a nice one! Gotta agree with 250 TR. This one may get my vote.

The TZ3 Corsa was just a one off, however they also made a TZ3 Stradale that is very similar in looks. It is powered by a Dodge Viper ACR engine, and nine were built. On Jalopnik today, one of those nine cars is currently for sale at Ferrari of Newport Beach for the bargain price of $700,000:
