Italy

870 copies of the 6C 2300B model were built. The 8C 2900B began production in 1937. The 2900B design made some concessions to comfort and reliability. The engine was detuned further, having a compression ratio of 5.75:1 and a stated power output of 180 bhp (130 kW) at 5200 rpm. The 2900B chassis is available in two wheelbases: the Corto (short) at 2,799 mm, which was longer than the 2900A 2,718 mm and the Lungo (long) at 3,000 mm. The wheels of the 2900B had 19-inch rims fitted with 17-inch (432 mm) hydraulic drum brakes.

Szósty raz z rzędu samochody Alfa Romeo wygrały słynny, włoski wyścig Mille Miglia.
