Default the autodelta Alfa 156 GTA and the 147 GTA

I don't know the spec yet, but this engine (the 3.7 litre V6) could produce 328 hp...

This is the the 156 GTA by Autodelta





And this is the 147 GTA also by Autodelta

God what a gorgeous car that 156 is...fantastic...that 147 isn't too bad either come to think of it.

Wonderful cars. Both 328hp V6 ON FRONTWHEEL CARS!!! Both should do something near 175mph. They are absolutely gorgeous. Alfa will employ Autodelta as its official tuning firm, like Merc's AMG, BMW's M, and Audi's Quattro. (Yes, Quattro is an actual division of Audi) So, the 148 and 157 Autodelta versions should be more compelling with 4 wheel drive to harness the power.

Both cars are great looking, and have some ride with them has to be astonishing...also the 147 GTA Autodelta is very well set up once its lap time on Top Gear was very good....about 1.29 as far as i know despite the cars traction critical problem...

Alfa still designs nice looking cars, technically however I fear they're a bit behind the competion. But with a good tuner like Autodelta, you can still make them a lot faster

thanks for sharing dude... I've heard the autodelta before, I guess this is an old tunner, but the autodelta are located in UK, if i'm not wrong... u could see it in www.autodelta.co.uk why the Alfa didn't make some Italian tunner for their offical tunner?

I guess this is an old tunner
"Alfa Romeo Innovative Engineering since 1987". Not exactly old, is it? It's even younger than me.

Two nice cars indeed. Alfa design is getting better every day And these extra powerful versions look even better :shock: But the best looking car in their range is without doubt the new GT.
