It was partly succeeded by the revived [[Alfa Romeo GTV and Spider|Alfa Romeo GTV]] nameplate, the car which it had also replaced, but due to its extremely-limited production run of just 1,036 units, along with 284 convertible variants known as the '''RZ''', actually bears a closer relation to the [[Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione]] and later still [[Alfa Romeo 4C]], in particular the limited-run [[Alfa Romeo Disco Volante by Touring|Disco Volante]] based on the former.<br /> <br /> ==Appearance==<br /> Strangely, the SZ never appeared on any automotive journalism-themed programme within a review context back when it was new. In fact, its only known televised appearance came in [[Top Gear (2002 TV series)/Series 6/Episode 11|Series 6, Episode 11]] of ''[[Top Gear (2002 TV series)|Top Gear]]'', where it was used by host [[James May]] to produce a particular engine note for his rendition of the show's theme tune.</div>
