Alfa Romeo GT 3.2. One of my most regretted car.
Here is a picture I found on the net ( sorry for the credit, but I forgot where I found it ), of a GT 3.2 which was very close to the one I owned, except the rims, which were 18'", too, but with the original design.
I owned it for 3 years, and finally sold it because of its too important fuel consumption. For example, I drove 200 kilometers at almost full speed, and I " drunk " the 63 liters of the tank...
Another story: I was a bit above the tank reserve, and stuck in a traffic jam which lasted 45 minutes... I ended with a fuel breakdown.
Other than that, a fantastic car. The behaviour on the road is full of life, very dynamic, the melody of the engine is not a myth, it takes you to the guts. The gearbox was excellent.
The interior, red, was top. Ok, the quality couldn't compete with a german competitor, but hey, that was fun.
And the body was very appealing.
Lovely...
Best,
Nicolas

The last of the real Alfa engines...
...the 3.2 GT was the last use of the Busso Alfa V6,after over 20 years. To me, the last of the real Alfa lineage. And a brilliant engine (fuel consumption aside :-) ) (Then they sourced their V6 from....Melbourne)
Yes, the " new 3.2 " housed in the Brera came from General Motors, if
I am not wrong... All an era. Best, Ben. Nicolas
Love Alphas. Unfortunately...
They are no longer sold in the United States with the exception of the 4C. Nico: You may be interested to see the photos I posted yesterday in the Time Out section.
You stupid man !
You sold your Alfa to buy an Audi ? :-) :-) :-) My wife used to drive a GTV6 2.5 in the 80ies ... that was before i met her unfortunately :-( How much does the Volvo consume at top sped ? ;-) Bim
Impossible mon ami !!!
Only 20 liters at 250 kph ? My Clio consumed 22 in the Ardennes .. and that's a 2 litre 4 pot .. revving to 7500 though .. but still ... . Hmmm, could it be you're getting a bit older eeeehhh ??? :-) Naughty Bim
Call me ...
... i want to check it from the passenger seat ... and drive further on after you lost your license :-) Bim ;-)
And now, you want a French at your " tableau de chasse "???
You have a deal with the Belgian Cops? :) Best, Vlad.
A deal with them ??? ....
Not really no :-) But sometimes i have to negotiate certain things ... so they ask me an Englishman or a German but usually no French guys :-) ;-) Bim ...
