MFX Posted 15October, 2020 Report Share Posted 15October, 2020 I am sure I have talked to you somewhere, but what engine is in the Alfa? Great looking car. CLR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merv Posted 15October, 2020 Report Share Posted 15October, 2020 Those 'new' Alfa GTA-R's are being made by Classic Alfa and Alfaholics in carbon fibre with amazing motors. My 68 Alfa GTV is all original and goes well and handles superbly. I can only imagine how those GTA-R's go! Chris Harris was blown away by the power and the handling (240HP 2.4L, and circa 800kgs). And rates it as one of his best drives ever and better than mega expensive modern Supercars. luzzo, CLR, tomo and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris harris gets so excited by this, and it really stirs my Alfa soul. Definitely part of the dream garage to have an Alfa 105 GTV (GTA replica) and Porsche 996GT3 together.

Thanks Jeff, the engine is the F20C. Honda's F20C engine held the record for producing the highest specific power output for any mass production naturally aspirated piston engine, at 123.5 HP/L, until Ferrari began production of the 458 Italia in 2010, which produced 124.5 HP/L. The F20C revs to 9000rpm, is unbelievably strong and reliable even at this level of tune. The engine was completely stripped down and rebuilt as new then some special track orientated modifications added, baffled sump etc. A completely unique custom fabricated ITB system was made, it utilises F1 engine type injection with the injectors housed within the trumpets... . In the current state of tune it is making around 265bhp and weighs 850kg.

Below better reflects how it currently is but since this picture from a month or so back I've also now widened the front arches by another 30mm michel and MFX 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 16October, 2020 Report Share Posted 16October, 2020 ^^ brilliant engine, I had an F20C and 6 speed in a 620kg Westfield clubman. (400hp/tonne) - the way that thing sounded with a RH side exhausting blaring at 9300rpm 😍😍 CLR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just fitted the new arches to mine along with some sliding windows so it looks a little different now; for good measure the 996 also sneaked into the pic TwoHeadsTas, JWM, LeeM and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLR Posted 27October, 2020 Report Share Posted 27October, 2020 Apologies for this not being the 996 guys but a pretty little car being abused around the Nurburgring is I'm sure something we can all appreciate Enjoy.
