As the above poster I don't expect everyone to like the brand. Here is some racing heritage history.

First up is the Alfetta 159. It was designed before WW2, but became successful after the war. It decimated F1 for most of the 50's. Amazing engine sound. 1.5 liters double supercharged straight 8 with about 425 HP at 9300 rpm. WARNING this is loud so you may want to turn your speakers down a bit.



Next up is the GTAM based off of the GTV production. Twin can, twin spark, sliding block mechanical injection. Power is about 250 hp out of a motor designed for production cars in the 50's. The displacement is 1750cc and is N/A.




Next is the Typo 33 World sports championship car with a flat 12. It is 3 liters and is NA, output is 500 hp. It wiped the fields in both the 75 and 77 seasons.



Honorable mention of the F1 179 car. Financially backed by the government Alfa never had many successes in 70'80"s F1 although the did win a few races in them. As a side note they developed the fan car which used fans underneath the car to suck it to the ground. It stomped the competition and was immediately banned from competition following the race. Here is an engine warm up.



Here is the insane 155 DTM that took the championship in 93. Powered by a 2.5 N/A liter engine providing 480 HP at 11500 rpm.

Here is a hillclimb street circuit with epic sound.



Here is what is would be like onboard.



Some may not like them, but be prepared to see taillights unless your rolling something fast. I would be happy to park the new Giulia next to the ZL1.
