Alfa Romeo Giulia 105/115 TI Super 1570 cc Production Years (1963–1964)

A two-year production run

The Alfa Romeo Giulia TI Super with the 1570 cc twin-cam engine was produced in 1963–1964. Alfa Romeo’s retrospective model-history table identifies those two years for the 1600 TI Super, and its heritage account records 501 cars overall. This was a limited sporting saloon intended for competition, with weight-saving measures distinguishing it from the ordinary Giulia TI. Alfa Romeo model history; manufacturer heritage account.

This record covers the production period within the TI Super 1570 cc engine branch. The dates describe manufacturing years, not separate market-specific model years or the duration of the car’s racing career.

1963 and 1964

1963 — introduction and initial production. Alfa Romeo introduced the TI Super at Monza in 1963. The supplied secondary reference gives a press presentation date of 24 April and allocates 178 cars to that calendar year. Alfa Romeo retrospective; Giulia reference, TI Super section.

1964 — completion of the run. The same secondary reference assigns another 323 cars to 1964, bringing the total to 501. The annual split is retained as a secondary-source attribution; Alfa Romeo independently corroborates the total and the two-year period, but the manufacturer sources cited here do not provide a year-by-year ledger. No exact final assembly date is established. Giulia reference; manufacturer model-history table.

The setting was Alfa Romeo’s Milan-area manufacturing operation during the Giulia programme’s transition from Portello to Arese. The cited manufacturer history describes that wider transition but does not allocate TI Super chassis between the two plants; this record therefore makes no chassis-specific assembly-site claim.

What the production dates identify

The TI Super was a saloon with a front-mounted, longitudinal 1570 cc inline-four, a light-alloy block and cylinder head, two overhead camshafts and two twin-choke carburettors. These identify the engine application covered here; the dates are not the production lifespan of Alfa Romeo’s wider twin-cam engine family. Museo Storico Alfa Romeo technical record.

Alfa Romeo describes a lighter body and predominantly Biancospino paint, with Quadrifoglio emblems marking the sporting version. Its significance lay in making the Giulia saloon a basis for private competition and driver development. Manufacturer heritage account.

The TI Super variant must be distinguished from both the ordinary 1600 TI and the Giulia Super introduced in 1965. Alfa Romeo lists these separately in its model chronology. The later Super’s introduction does not imply continued TI Super manufacture. Manufacturer model-history table.

Production dates and competition use

A competition entry, registration or later restoration date is not necessarily a car’s manufacturing date. Alfa Romeo’s account of a TI Super from its historic collection entering the 2013 Winter Marathon provides a clear example of use long after production ended. That appearance belongs to the surviving car’s history, not to an additional production year. Alfa Romeo’s Winter Marathon account.

For this record, 1963–1964 is the supported production interval. The cited evidence does not establish separate export-market model-year schedules or exact first and last chassis completion dates. Broader development belongs to the 105/115 saloon generation, while detailed engine specifications belong to the parent engine record.
