The History
It was 1966 when Alfa Romeo was chosen to create a car model that could represent the "maximum aspiration attainable by man in car terms".
In this regard, the president Giuseppe Luraghi entrusted the construction of the chassis to the technical office and to Bertone company the study of the bodywork and interiors.
They succeeded in this and the following year in 1967, at the Universal Exhibition in Montreal, Alfa Romeo thus presented the first version of its masterpiece: the "Montreal".
The public immediately appreciated its clean and balanced lines: the hood lowered and stretched forward to give the idea of ​​speed, the headlights half hidden by grids, the rear pillar lightened by slits and with the tail cut rather high to impart stability and aesthetic power to the car. 
The House, however, had not yet defined every detail (such as the not yet tested engine), in fact the official version only entered the Geneva Motor Show in 1970 at a price of 5.700.000 lire.
From an aesthetic point of view it turned out to be slightly taller with a bulkier bonnet to accommodate the eight cylinders. The engine was substantially modified in order to make it more docile and suitable for road use.
The performance was nevertheless first-rate: 200 horsepower at 6000 rpm, 24 kgm of torque at 4750 rpm, 224 km / h of top speed and a 0-100 km / h in about 7 seconds.
A mass production of the Montreal was hampered by the contemporary oil crisis which delayed the exit of the car, prolonging production until 1977. Only a few units were built, exactly 3925 units.
It was of course the car of the road and of the race, but it soon became also a cinema "character", in fact in a scene from the movie "The marseille contract" you can admire a reckless and amusing chase between Maureen Kerwin (Lucienne), on board of a Porsche 911 Targa, and Michael Kaine (John Deray) in an Alfa Romeo Montreal.
