Before the launch of the Alfa Romeo 2600, Carlo Felice Bianchi Anderloni of Carrozzeria Touring made this one-of coupe. It complemented the Berlina and Spider versions of the Alfa Romeo 2000 which were already produced by Touring.

The Praho used the Series 102 platform which was released in 1958 as Alfa Romeo's larger car. New to the design was integrated twin front headlights which had become mainstream in American design and was a feature on some of the Vignale-bodied 2000s. To retain a slender fender line, a crease was added just behind the headlight surround and this feature is unique to this car.
