The first sports sedan?? Maybe...
1955 Giulietta Berlina and Giulietta TI (the sportier version). it was marketed as "The Family Car that Wins Races!" And it did. With 1100 and 1300 alum twin-cam engines.
The Giulietta Sprint coupe was introduced in 1954 at the Turin Motor Show. The Giulietta Spider came out in late 1955. Those bodies were both built at the coach builders factories, while the sedan was built in-house by Alfa, and is a large part of the company's survival after the war. No more custom-built big grand touring cars. They turned to mass producing small economical sports cars and sedans that people could afford. But they kept racing them.
