Those are (Veglia or Smiths, depending on the era) chronometric tachometers. Speedometers in this style exist as well. The idea was basically that in older war planes and the like, vibrations would cause the needle to vibrate so much that it became hard to read the actual value of the gauge depending on circumstances. The Jaeger company solved this by patenting a design in which the (mechanical) drive mechanism uses an escapement to be able to only temporarily drive the needle, locking it in place when it was not being driven directly when it declutches. It's an interesting gauge style that made its way into various vehicles ever since. Variations exist as well where it'd be smooth going up but slow when decelerating.

Yeah. I cringed the first time that I heard that. The second time he took the front straight on the rev limiter almost made me stop the video. It sounded painful to do that to a 45 year old race engine.
@@tarushdei I doubt it can reach 300kmh before the checkered line, and it doesn't look to be at such a speed on the video as well. I think the mod in AC is missing that low range gearbox, I wish it had it though because it's faster on narrow road like the Targa Florio
The 33 SC 12 and 33 TT 12 are one of the loudest race cars I've ever heard. The flat-12 could be heard kilometers away, and muting almost all other cars on straights
It surely isn’t a coincidence that the Italian circuits are so beautiful. Must make the sense of occasion so much greater and more pleasurable. The commitment necessary to do decent lap times compounds that pleasure, surely?
I tried this car on a whim in Assetto Corsa last night around the Nordschleife because I was reading about the Targa Florio yesterday. This is a car I wouldn't have even bothered with otherwise because of how it looks (what's with the goofy mirror, lol). But I kid you not, this was the last exhilarating car I've ever driven in any sim, ever. Between the H-pattern gearbox, cylinder-symphony and the sheer F1-tier of steering performance I was riding right at the limit the whole time. My adrenaline was pumping more than it ever has in a sim and I'm absolutely in love with this car. Easily the most connected I've ever felt with the grip limits of any car in a sim and I am going to get more into historical sports car racing because of this thing. Glorious car.
Em 76 só coisas magníficas nasceram! Adoro Alfa Romeo que dominava e ganhava! Depois a Lancia /Ferrari sempre fazia sombra mas estas duas marcas são as mais icónicas. Alfa e lancia
Thanks for this!...so nice to see Imola again, always enjoyed watching the F1 from there, and this car is spectacular!...A Merry Christmas, Be Well! 👏🏻😎🏁💙
You can tell this thing was built for the Targa Florio. It is unmistakably a sports prototype, but the wheelbase is comically short! Combined with the wide track, it looks like it sits four square on the road. The onboard tells the tale of a car that stops and turns on a dime. I'd hope for a modern equivalent to be made someday soon but...eh. Motorsport is different now. In some ways, not for the better.
Idk whats weirder on this car That THIN yet TALL rear view mirror Or 1 Hz tachometer Also, man, he be wild on the main straight. Bangin' that engine, mercy be damned.
Ottimo sound d'annata! Però vedere quella Lucchini SR2 che la svernicia e se ne va fa rimanere un po' male. Io c'ero al Minardi day e quella Lucchini era la più veloce in pista tra le prototipo.
Hmmm....a bit short om gearing. That's ok.....just don't keep it flat on the limiter. Very hard on the motor.....unbalancing for that long. The techs must be cringing.
No one else gonna appreciate how fast the driver is shifting?
Typical for hilclimb pilots!
Is he really downshifting to 1st??
Close ratio setup and a driver who is very well-acquainted with the car!
It's probably about how the drivers back then drove the car.
If I was on that car I would shit faster.
The sound of a flat 12 N/A engine is simply perfect, a perfect mechanical orchestra.
Is turbo

Can you imagine driving a car like this flat out through a village in the Targa Florio? Mother of god
I was thinking to this too...😱
Gnarly
I was thinking about the Targa Florio too !
@@andreademalde8571 what you say? i cant hear you !
@@markblackman2542 ?
Designer: Oh sh1t, we forgot the rear view mirror.
Hang on.....
Racing cars no designers, only engineers!.
Well, that's the only place where the mirror would reflect anything behind the car... Any lower and it would just show the rear wing...
Imagine going out to start your car before going to work and it sounds like that...Yes, please.
Not going to work
i love the 1 second refresh rate tachometer.

@@NLRevZ Such a cool technology. Was that an American company that invented it?
@@jeshkam Though Jaeger is a German name, the Jaeger Clock Company was based in Paris, France. The first examples were used in French military aircraft in WW1.
@@NLRevZ Thanks. 👍
i throught that was a glitch in assetto corsa! omg :o
Shame top gear is so short. It hits the limiter before he gets to the grid marks. Thanks for the delicate and delicious aural sculpture!! Forza Alfa!
Yeah. I cringed the first time that I heard that. The second time he took the front straight on the rev limiter almost made me stop the video. It sounded painful to do that to a 45 year old race engine.
For real though. It's like it's geared for a go-kart track or something, lol.
@@BurtSampson geared for hillclimb
If the mod version in Assetto Corsa is to be believed, that's still 300 km/h for a car this size? That's insanity.
@@tarushdei I doubt it can reach 300kmh before the checkered line, and it doesn't look to be at such a speed on the video as well. I think the mod in AC is missing that low range gearbox, I wish it had it though because it's faster on narrow road like the Targa Florio
More sound on the startup than an entire F1 race.
True, but the Jack Roush/Ford V8 Panoz Esperante brought more THUNDER.
What an emotional sound! He was on the rev limiter in top gear for quite a while on the straight, I wonder what kind of speed he was doing..
I'd guess around 130mph
Limitations of the current gearbox setting
The 33 SC 12 and 33 TT 12 are one of the loudest race cars I've ever heard. The flat-12 could be heard kilometers away, and muting almost all other cars on straights
Just came home from work, popped open a can of beer and stream the sound to my JBL speaker. I,m a happy guy 😊
Grande, mitica, indimenticabile. Grazie Alfa.

The look and the sound are so unique! 👍
The gearing between 2nd and 3rd is so satisfying...
Magnificent beast.
Sound of that 12 is orgasmic. I'd also short shift it to enjoy that symphony.
Amazing how much the Busso V6 sounds like this.
Looking at this , I love old H pattern gear shifts

Fantastica vettura, e che motore ben "accordato". Bravo ,19Bozzy92!
Grazie mille!
Una vettura che può vincere Daytona i lemans
Best video of my day, Thank you keep them coming.
This sound is absolutely crazy!!! What a damn loud sound. Love the downshifts too. Flat-12 never disappoints❤️❤️❤️❤️
7:07 just so musical, the interval of a 9th, sounds like the ocean.
nicest (and more intresting) comment
I'm a simple man, I see "Alfa Romeo" on a video uploaded by bozzy, I click on it and give it instant like.
Simply beautiful in every aspect

The hardest-working mirror stalk of them all?
Mind-blowing...It's 2 feet tall!
Auto meravigliosa, bello anche vederla e sentirla urlare come si dovrebbe, e non solo guardarla sfilare come succede spesso.
Wonderful!!! Thanks a lot for this awesome video!
Belissima!! Tanti grazie! Eargasm!! E un symphonia
Magnificent! When cars were bad and men were nervous......
Sembra di sentire una moto, che motore!!!
Thank you for this and all your videos!
You're welcome! Thanks a lot for watching!
I ❤️ the sound. Magnificent!
When knowing the traack matters. What a sick sound! Thanks Bozzy.
The coolest era on racing. Simply amazing!
What a sound !
You can tell the driver loves this car.
Ein Traum. A dream. Many thanks guys
Keep up the amazing content!
It sounds like a massive 2 stroke!
Fantastic and thanks for sharing.
I love the slow shifts
The only thing sounding better than this was when the Matras and the Porsche 930 turbo were all running together. What a symphony!
Bozzy...you are the BEST
Thanks for this!...so nice to see Imola again, always enjoyed watching the F1 from there, and this car is spectacular!...A Merry Christmas, Be Well! 👏🏻😎🏁💙
Grande Alfa Romeo ! orgoglio italiano nel mondo !
Classic old-school exotica racecar!!
fun ride did we stop for a samy?
Is it just me or is the engine hanging on the rev limiter almost the length of the straight?
We need these in sim racing.
What a beauty xx
Sounds insane

Alfa Romeo against the Rest✊
That sound is like Aston Martin Valkyrie V12 Hypercar
Questa si chiama macchina da corsa..... Quelle di oggi sono pagliacciate polystil
That intake (i think) is fucking enormous
I want this Engine in my car... real machine.
Why is he stomping his right foot while downshifting? Manual Throttle blipping?
Very cool 😎 👍 thanks Bozzy 😃💪
where's the flappy paddle gearbox? :)
questo motore è quello che poi andò a finire nella brabham bt46?
Sounds very similar to the Alfa 155 V6TI either onboard or from the outside
So nice... Can we make this kind of racing car today... 🤔😁❓❓❓
Is this car being raced through Kokiri Forest or something?
Possibile che gli entusiasti per questa Alfa Romeo siano solo gli stranieri?
Bach!
Anche a me piace quest'Alfa. Tranquillo, sono italiano.
That rearview mirror so bizzare
Ahhhh! Peccato che stavi corto di rapporto! :)
Awesome car!
Love the part where it is clearly flat out
Was this the same engine they used in their F1 cars (until the Turbos came up)?
Basically yes, just detuned a bit for durability.
Damn what shader is this?
Idk whats weirder on this car
That THIN yet TALL rear view mirror
Or
1 Hz tachometer
Also, man, he be wild on the main straight.
Bangin' that engine, mercy be damned.
Alfa Romeo Flat-12 ❤🔥💪
Noob question, why is it RHD with the gear stick on the right?
Awesome car and video👍
Because............ Alfa Romeo!!
@@tomwebb7091 holy thread resurrection👍😂
Chi e' il proprietario e quanto vale?
Grazie
I love this.
Senti come canta la Bestia v13
Something tells me the final ratio is slightly inappropriate for this track
Bravo 👏

Questa é proprio quella che é venuta alla Silver Flag se non sbaglio...
Sounds like a MotoGP bike
Capolavoro
No heel and toe?! This is how I would drive 😆
Don‘t know what you see, but I see him doing it all way long.
Wouldn't want to live near Bologna and suffer from seasonal allergies damn!
Nella mia infanzia queste erano le auto da corsa

Love Alfa Romea
da un auto che arriva a 352 kmh, mi aspettavo una meaa a punto dei rapporti diversa....
Musica maestro
chi é il pilota?
holy pollen batman
Antonio giovinazzi il pilota ?
Ma ha i rapporti da salita?????
can i swap this engine into my alfa mito? LOL
Sound like it's been restricted on power and geared down
i like very nice

You can understand why Niki Lauda got bored when Brabham swapped the Alfa 12 cylinder engines for "boring" Cosworth V8's!
