| Brief History | |||||
| Introduced in 1930, the Tipo 26M (the "M" being 'monoposto' or single-seater) met with instant success. Whilst inheriting some elements in its orthodox design from its predecessors it was considered a new design and was a starting point for designs to follow. Although not the last work of Alfieri it was completely designed and developed by him and considered to be his masterpiece. The Tipo 26M recorded great success in 1930 until Alfa Romeo responded with the 8C Monza and the single seater Type A, and Bugatti with the Type 51 with twin camshafts responded in 1931 and won most races. Six sports versions of the car were also built for endurance events. | |||||
