Noice.

Pics from the Brizzle Auto Moto Italia Festival here.

I have no details at all about this car, other than, it looks rougher in the flesh, but goes like stink and sounds evil.

Picture was posted to the usenet Uk car modding newsgroup by the resident italophile.

I believe it may have been at the bristol italian show.
I saw it and thought of all of you.

It's the resident Alfisti from the mods. newsgroup.......

Details of the car (it's owned by a fellow member of the Welsh Alfa group).

It's a 1970s chrome bumper Alfetta GTV.
2lt twin-cam engine, with twin twin-choke carbs (not sure of the spec, but I'd guess Dell Orto)
Slammed to the deck.
Massive Woolfrace alloys.
Single box exhaust with a tail pipe you could lose small children down - it's centre mounted with F1 style air diffusers either side.
Stripped interior with no rear seat - that's where the amp lives for the stereo now.
4 point harnesses, standard Recaro type seats.
No idea of the power output, but it's definitely putting out more than the 130bhp a standard lump will - he buggered off rather quickly on the M4 - I was following in my Alfa 75 TSpark.
Doesn't roll *at all* and the body hardly moves over bumps in the road.

In the flesh it's a bit rough - not rusty, but the paint job is terrible (you can see it was slapped on quickly). The rear 3/4 windows are replaced with perspex and the quarterlight bar has been removed.

All in all, an evil *fatherless child* of a car.

(2nd clip is a Lancia Thema 8.32 being revved - unfortunately, it sprang a nasty looking oil leak later in the day)

In further news, Fox rates a car on a factor other than 'cruise control and number of cup holders'.

Anyway...It's hardly an 'alternative' car is it?

It's not exactly a Fiat Topollino with an 8-litre blown Chevy big block on gas and bodywork that looks like it has been sitting in a field for 60 years is it?

No, but it is an Alfa that looks halfway decent, which is a rarity.
 
What is really bizare is that you post cars that are generaly considered well built such as Volvos and Mercs that have been abused to cover then in rust. You then post a pic of a marque that had probably the worst ever reputation for rust and it's looking mint...

It also has a certain photoshop look to the picture...perhaps it's just because of the matt finish?
