    Alfa Romeo: Takes a stock car, duct tapes a camera to the dashboard and gives the keys to some guy named Fabio in a t-shirt and jeans to set a record.

His dad (Giorgo Francia) did pretty well racing and developing the 164 procar dtm 155s and many race and road cars for Alfa too as did his son Fabio, cooler than a cucumber in an ice box even at 190mph. I just can't seem to remember what alfa called the 952 platform..... Great work family affair an the best automotive brand. Others try but are left waiting and wanting. Bellissimo! Forza Alfa.

Alfa's been left with 3 models only... Gulietta QV killed off as well. Fiat is the real General Motors of Europe- destroys anything it get hands on!

    Everyone that has ever driven this car (like I did) knows that it’s not the Kw’s or the NM’s that make the difference, it’s the shear impeccable steeringqualities of this car. Driven Audi’s, BMW’s, Porsche’s...but the steering (precise, nimble, sharp) of this car is in a class of its own.

    • @SparrowNoblePoland
      @SparrowNoblePoland 3 года назад +9

      @Marco Moncada That's interesting. Everyone say that even the worst FWD Fiat clone models like 156 and 159 have something special about their handling.

    • @sennaha
      @sennaha 2 года назад +8

      Absolutely correct.
      I drove my 18 QV back to back with 18 M3. Steering on M3 was far short of inspirational compared to the Alfa. Left right transition felt almost American muscle car like I the M3.
      I'm sure the new M3 improved on that, thanks to the Alfa QV.

  • @rrrado1
    @rrrado1 8 лет назад +1659

    And I have just looked at lap times of some cars... this Alfa is quicker than : Ferrari 458 Italia, Porshe GT3 RS 997, Koenigsegg CCX and CCR, Nissan GTR 2011, Lexus LFA, Mercedes AMG GTS, McLaren 650S, Veyron, SLR, Zonda and many others like Panamera Turbo 2016. Most shocking thing is that Alfa is 20 seconds faster than M4.

    • @adelachaudh2416
      @adelachaudh2416 7 лет назад +30

      I know! The Panamera S just did a lap at 7:32 aswell though, btu this Alfa is amazing.
      One problem I have with Alfa's are their engines. The normal engines donæt really look that impressive. BMW's 2 litres diesel produces 184hp. Alfa's 2.2 litres diesel produces 150 or 180. Not too impressive and if I'm not wrong they have very low ratings aswell /:.
      That's a shame.

      Interesting that a Camaro ZL1 with 10 spd. automatic logged a time of 7:29.6 at the Ring. Driven by Drew Cattell, a Camaro engineer, NOT a pro racer. And he left the tranny to do it's own shifting, never touching the paddles. Not too shabby for a showroom stock $65k American coupe.

    • @jakasprah3623
      @jakasprah3623 7 лет назад +35

      @adelachaudh The 2,2 l diesels actually produce around 280 HP. The model called "Alfa Romeo Giulia 2.2 JTDm 150" (or 180) doesn't produce 150 (or 180) HP, that's just the number of the model :) The specs are actually pretty impressive.

    It was a about 14 years ago when I first sat into AR seat. Was looking for a new car and AR came into focus, I had pretty neutral view of AR at the time - had not owned or driven one, so I was neutral. The moment I sat in - was AR156 Twin Spark Selespeed - I was like "wow!", I mean, it just fit perfectly, like the best leather glove you've ever worn. Everything was aimed at the driver, all dials, steering wheel felt natural in hand, seats were perfect.. And I've driven and tried many other cars, quite good ones among them but somehow it felt "right" in AR.
    I remember how about 3 years later 159 was announced and when I saw its images for the first time, I was smitten. Absolutely amazing design. I went to AR dealership and asked about it and they said they haven't even seen it yet, so new it was. So for a while I kept visiting the dealership periodically and asking "when's the new 159 coming?" and one day they said, "now it is!". I got pretty much one of the very first ones brought into my country and it was amazing.
    4 years after that I went for a new car again and this time I got AR 159 TBi Ti. I loved that car especially since every single bit of that car I chose, I had better situation with funds at that time. Every extra, every bit and piece was selected by me and the end result was amazing. To this day it's considered one of the most beautiful and best AR's which has driven on the streets of this country.
    Sadly after another 4 years life changed and I had to change many things in life as well. That AR159 went away from me and I switched to another car, but AR's been on my mind all the time. When I heard of Giulia, I kept scouring the internet for any and all details I could find on it, but AR company had been very successful in keeping it's details secret. Impressive, usually new car details are found out soon enough but Giulia remained hidden practically all the way to the end. When AR dealership got their first Giulia's here, they called to me and invited me over to look at it and do a test drive. Because they knew that it's something I love and been waiting for a long time. The very moment I sat into the new Giulia felt like "welcome home!" moment to me. Unfortunately I cannot afford to buy one for now since the life is just getting slowly stabilized, but I've seen it finally and at least was able to try it. But I promise that if I will win the lottery, one of the very first things I will do is head straight into AR dealership and get to myself a new AR, a red Giulia. And yes, Alfa Rosso red, to me AR can only be red and nothing else :)

      I love the Giulia but I don't for a moment believe that a 4 door saloon could every be as exciting to drive as a McLaren 570s which weighs almost 400kg less and has more power.

    Until the early 70s, Alfa Romeos were much more desirable (and faster) than German sports sedans. After Fiat bought Alfa the brand went downhill, because the Fiat people wanted to destroy the brand that out sold them in the higher priced sedan category in Italy. They did the same to Lancia, by the way. I remember driving an Alfa Giulia Sprint Speciale (ok a sports coupe, not a sedan) a friend loaned me to drive to Munich from Livorno, Italy back in 1972 or so . We passed every German car on the Autobahn once we got to Germany. Even the 2002 Tiis didn't stand a chance, even with 400 more CCs. . Glad Alfa has been allowed to return to their roots.

    After seeing this and finding out it was Motor Trend Car of the Year 2018 ... I purchased this car. Am so amazed by its suspension, Steering precision and power. I have a few race cars but, this is the most fun.

    Good grief. That was like watching an accident that lasts for seven and a half minutes but without the crash at the end of it. Total respect to Mr. Francia for how he conducted that beautiful Alfa Romeo.

    Holy shit!!! From 1:18-1:52 is some of the most incredible car control I've ever seen. He is right on the edge of what is physically possible. It also shows just how bumpy and rutted the nurburgring is. There's a terrible jolt every time he goes over a bump. And that noise!!! Sounds like a wolf.

    well driven , you can see so well how the suspension works magic in this alfa and how extremely important is to have the best suspension possible , you can put any size of engine in a car but if the suspension sucks then you can't dream of doing any real fast driving

      watch?v=pZ6T5WsBf_I in a 2 ton luxury sedan which is much more stable in corners only 1,5 seconds slower but all the luxury we can live without that no worries. Under that bonnet is still a ferrari engine because Alfa now is too shit to produce anything that works.

      They are horrible in the wet, from what I can read. So, they are probably quite good in dry conditions :-)
