Different Types of Alfa Romeo RL Cars
The Alfa Romeo RL came in a few different versions. Each version was made for a specific purpose, from family trips to exciting races.
The Family Car: RL Normale
The RL Normale (RLN) was designed to be a family car. It was also known as the 21/70 model. This car had a powerful engine with six cylinders. The engine's size was 3 liters.
In 1926, the name of this family car changed. It became known as the RL Touring (RLT) and was called the 22/70 model.
The Sporty Car: RL Sport
The RL Sport (RLS) was a lighter version of the car. It was shorter than the family model, which helped it weigh less. This made it quicker and more agile. The RL Sport also had a bigger engine, giving it more power.
Around 500 of these sporty cars were made. Later, this model was updated and renamed the RL Super Sport (RLSS). It was also known as the 22/90 model and was even faster than before.
The Racing Car: RL Targa Florio
The racing version of the Alfa Romeo RL was built for speed. It was even shorter than the RL Sport model. This special car was called the RL Targa Florio (RLTF).
In 1923, an RL Targa Florio won the famous Targa Florio race. This tough race took place on the island of Sicilia. Only a very small number of these racing cars were made, fewer than ten in total.
