would you ? www.autoexpress.co.uk/alfa-romeo/giulia/gta-and-gtam looks to be a hell of a car but it is an awful lot of money
I’m glad they didn’t just stick a badge on a tweaked version of the Cloverleaf and call it a GTA. This is the working that it deserves. However, these will be bought by collectors and stored in climate sealed garages. A shame. I think it looks knee tremblingly epic! Utterly bonkers and all the better for it.
you are right that most wll be pugged away in private collections and seen as an appreciating asset which is a great shame l have only ever oven one Alfa and that was a 1/24 scale Tamiya TA02 Alfa Romeo 155 V6 DTM built and painted by me so dont think that really counts as alfa ownership
l was a real touring car fanboy and in the 90s spent every other weekend tramping the length and breadth of the country to watch the BTCC and best l managed was 14 out of 16 rounds in one season and in 1994 l was sat in the grandstand at thruxton when Alfa Romeo joined the BTCC with Tarquini and Simoni driving the Alfa Romeo 155 Silverstone a car that alfa made 2500 examples of all suppled with an Aero kit in the boot so the rear wing could be raised a number of centimetres and the front splitter could be extended and fixed in place with supplied rivets so the 155 Silverstone was a car that changed the super touring rules forever the main one being that you had to make 25000 cars to get homologation rather than just 2500
yes that would have made a mess of the front of the car and as the hill is so narrow would have been easy to hit the wall when you have zero visibility
