I remember it from GT3, I used to want it so bad.. It looked very cool in the game, but in reality, I don't like it..

Btw, those pics look almost the same as the ones I took a this years Brussels Motorshow.
EDIT: sorry I overlooked the post gigdy, I red 0-100 instead of 0-100-0, my fault  ops:

Ya the vertigo is a great car, I love the wild look of the thing.

Yes I do  The factory - actually you can't name it a factory, it's more a work shed - is about 40 km from my place.
Nut only since 1998 it has the Alfa 3.0 V6 engine. Previous models (1994-1997) had a Ford Cosworth 2.0 turbo engine. It's one of the older models in which they achieved the world record 0 - 100 kmh time of 3.266 seconds (in 1994).
