Anyone see this car?

Had a word with the tuning guys about it. They reckoned it drove brilliantly even though it was front wheel drive. I'm not convinced though???

What say you

oh and i forgot to say £39,000

what would scooby do

realy looking cars but the horrendous stories I hear about reliability and dealers would put me off for a start.

Not bad if you had it as a company car but deffo not for private ownership

Might even have been 350BHP actually ...... imagine the torque steer and tyre wear. He said it would be on top gear soon

Better wait for the 156 replacment (157 or 158) which is supposed to get four wheel drive on some models.

There are rumours of Turbo charged 4 cylinder JTS and Turbo'd V6's.
Alfa are also trying to secure the Ferrari/Maserati V8 for a RWD version to push their re-entry into the US Market.

was it the Red one, that was modified by Autodelta??

So have they supercharged that nice V6 motor or something to get that power? Std it had 250bhp. Or is it a shot of NOS they've done?

Anyhoo, the car with 250bhp was a struggle anyway. FWD + Big power = lots of torque steer, mega front tyre wear, and other things.

It probably has some kinda special diff on it to try and help it put the power down.

But for £40k, I'd spend it on something else.

Yeah it was the red one .....I dont think it was supercharged and there was def no NOS ..... just some serious engine mods I think. It was bored out to 3.7 for one thing I think.

It would need some serious diff mods i reckon

£40 is big money though ....M3 or TVR tuscan territory

Someone I know is running 350bhp on a Seat Ibiza.

FWD, has a Quaife ATB Diff, coilovers, and some other bits and bobs.

It can do 60mph in 5 secs dead, and top 160mph.

I don't think its cost anything close to £40k all in.

I can't see Autodelta selling many (if any) of these modded examples at that price.

Unless you are a serious Alfa Enthusiast with way too much money to spend!
