But then you have this
Have no idea what the drive train is, but it sure gets my vote for looks.
I will always be a huge fan of 1950s/ 1960s Italian body design. So much today looks like it was designed to the same wind tunnel specs. This message has been edited by mrsnak on 2010-09-08 08:36:50
Holy Moly, what a smoker!!
Always loved Alfas, and even knew how to set the cams up right when I was 14!! And no Italian blood in me, just an acquired glaze I guess. Love their designs, women, and pastries. RR.
Pity it's a Maserati
Apart from the Alfa shield, this could have been anything in the FIAT sportcar stable. A rebodied Maserati with a Ferrari derived engine built in the Maserati Factory... Alfa, nothing but a badge... And why do you need Italian blood to set-up the cams? th...

I agree, Snak. In an era of wedges, it really stands out. A little too heavy looking, though The Maseratis (esp. the Quattroporte) look like Pininfarina got the direly styled Daewoo Leganza (a Guigiaro 'effort') and 'improved' it. My biggest gripe, I gues...

Periscope.
That's a Tipo 33/2 Periscope. Two-litre, V-8...I think about 250+ hp (but who knows?). 600kg. The Stradale 33 is also lovely. I'd go as far as say gorgeous. But the 8C Competizione....just too big. I mean, what sportscar is allowed to weigh 1700kg?
Big, big love.
I saw it in Paris a few months ago...Terrific. I fell in love. Best, Nicolas
I'll see your 8C and raise you a...
TZ1... Another piece of Carlo Chiti genius.......
It was wedged...
...between a 4WD and a 105 Spider so sadly, very sadly, no profile shots. Kamm tail shot: Love a racecar on 165s.......
Nice ...
... and check out the 911 in the background ... looks like a GT3RS or something ... Filip
More interesting than that...
The Porsche is an APR worked model - one of the aftermaket tuners a la Ruf or Alpina (BMW, of course). Difficult to be sure from the photo, but it looks like a 996 with heavy front and rear body mods. Cheers, pplater.
funny, I was just thinking the same thing...
saw the Alfa first, that Porsche crossing Wilshire next. What girls?
that Alfa is pure sex on wheels.
its lines are perfect, its engine superb, the interior sublime. and they are all sold out Graham
Down Gen. DeGaulle Ave.
I saw this as I was walking out of the store and almost missed it - it went by fast (but not as fast as it could have on it's own)!...
