Words cannot express how much I adore this car and all the work and love you've put into it. I am going to have to get rich purely to buy one and drive it every single day for the rest of my life. It's the most beautiful car in the world. Good job chaps.
We followed you through to Bergwerk from T13 in a Grey R35. What a real pleasure to watch this little treasure being driven how it should be driven! One of life's moments for me...a fellow Alfisti!
@@Jb001jb Yeah that's my thought process as well. Ideally i'd find an original GTAM shell for resto & build the car around that with as many Alfaholics parts as possible. Beninca Motors in Melbourne do good engine and race/track day car preparation & have engine and shock dyno's
That symphony of exhaust, the “snick” of that precise shifter, the squeal of the tires and the skill of that driver! That’s one of the best runs I have ever seen on the ring.
It does now but back then it had a 2 litre TS with two Weber 45s on it and 216 bhp. We rebuilt the whole car a few years ago. It's now got 240 bhp from a 2.2 litre Twinspark on throttle bodies and the whole thing weighs 70 kg less even though it now has a full interior, and has much more developed suspension. Back then it was around 250 bhp/ton, it's now 290/ton. In current GTA-R 290 form it's lapped the 'Ring in less than 8 minutes. It's a very different car now!@@gaussrifle1988
Dropped my rebuit 2lt Nord back into my mark 1 1750 the other day. Gearbox, webbers, everthing done. Clocked 110mph on a back road out near Boona (QLD, Australia) still pulling, just magic.
I’ve ridden bikes on track at a decent level in the past, this is the equivalent of a well sorted 250cc 2 stroke destroying the ego of every 1000cc rider in the corners, and the thou rider, rides off track, then out of the track afterwards with his tail between his legs. What a glorious intake roar, handling and balance that car has. I’m having one when I’m minted. 😎
Brutal, just brutal I have never ever heard such a sweet sounding engine. I’m in love. The driver too was something special, hitting the apexes, braking etc. It was all the over the Porsche, granted the Porsche had it 21st century driving aids and more hp and all that bla…bla… but the Alfa and the driver where seriously out of this world.
No way... lol.. unbelievable.. I never knew our old Alfa's have this much potential... wow. You had the GT3 in your sights the whole time... you guys need to make more videos like this. Well done Alfaholics. Well done indeed! Great driving...
Stephen Manjai it’s been modified by alfaholics, suspension, brakes, stripped weight + engine bored to 2.3L. A regular stock gta can’t keep up with the gt3 (edit: price tag for alfa around £200.000)
This was majestic! ❤️ The sound coming from the engine, the sound coming off the tyres, the Porche unable to get away, even the click with every gear change adds to that!
Beautiful!! Just freakin beautiful!! Each time you changed gears that shifter goes click click like fine piece of Italian wizardry. Great driving with balls to boot! Love it! Thank you! "It's the song of my people".
I think with a small turbo, he probably gets by him, Porsche just too much in the straights, but damn the little bastard corners on a dime. Great stuff
+Jonka Olofsson if you haven't seen it already you should watch swiss chris's video where he drives the m3 gts vs the ringtaxi. imo that one is even better. but this alfa is living up to it's name for sure on the ring in the video.
Would love to see the rear view video from this Porsche of this Alfa Romeo looming large at every corner. That would be 8 minutes of video worth watching!
Loved my 1750GTV and wish I still had it. But this? What an absolutely joyous monster of a car. Oh, how I wish I had this. Congratulations Alfaholics, you have created a sublime vehicle and work of art.
I love the absolute commitment through some of the tricky corners, awesome piece of driving. Oh and the car is truly special as well. I'll take a Tl Super-R with the 2300cc engine, all the carbon bits and the whole lot painted red!
The Porsche, overloaded with technic and Electronic and the Alfa Romeo only with four wheels, a steering wheel, an engine and such big smokey BALLS...!!! O.O Just impressive!!!

The driver seems to know his car very well. He drove so nicely to the limits and the car behaved still well. Pure pleasure to watch 👍.

Hair-raising! nearly had that SOB right at the end too! Bravo! 😈
this is the best camera position inside a cockpit EVER. and the car is also one of best best ever (for me at least).
Amazing video!
It would be interesting to see how fast the Alfa gets around without a Porsche slowing it down in the corners
In the Top Gear video they claimed the 230 hp version can go sub 8
This was 2013. IMagine what the latest 2019 GTA-R290 with 240BHP could do..

Exhaust ??🤨🤨
The incredible sound you are hearing is from the ITB's.. its from the engine..
@@jortepap yeah, that too.
Twin Weber 45s back then!
@@jimspackman8527 I think it has fuel injection with ITB's! But you have right!

All around one of the best ring videos I’ve ever watched.
One of the best laps of the Nurburgring you'll see - some great driving. Cracking car; it owned the 911!
Great driving skills bro !!! Alfa Romeo forever...
Perfektly driven and VERY fast and good reaction in some difficult corners! You made my Day ;-)
Amazing car, amazing noise, and spectacular driving!
Top work!

@@dragosxtc1901 Yes I totally agree. But having the courage to take this Alfa to 138 mph (220 km/h) is way harder 😅
Awesome lap, one of the best I have seen, very enjoyable to watch indeed.
So good, what a wonderful sound. I love the way the gear change sounds like a well oiled bolt action rifle.
Great piece of pedalling and your car is obviously well sorted, it looks so balanced on the edge. Love it! Bet the driver of the Porker was surprised!

@@studiocalder818 It would feel wrong without it.
Beautiful video of a gourgeous car being driven by an amazing pilot!
It's always nice to see a 50 years old car overtaking modern sport cars :)
Amazing!!! You've done a superb job on this GTA-R!!! :)

The intire video, watched with a smile on My face.. Thx for Sharing! .. Lovely ride.. Impressive controle..
Great little Alfa GTA, super driving following that Porsche.You've done Alfa Romeo proud in that little beauty.Siperb.
Would love to see the rear view video from this Porsche of this Alfa Romeo looming large at every corner. That would be 8 minutes of video worth watching!
The handling, he was all over that Porsche in the corners. Wow
What an absolutely beautifully balanced car. And the driver... no words..... awesome 👌🏽

I just love the GTA with all my heart. At some points the driver makes it look as easy as a sunday morning driving around town.
Wow, you are able to keep up with that 911, very impressive!!!
i've got chills hearing this historical engine...fantastic car and great driver
Epic! Fantastic drive.
Bravissimo Alfaholics!!!Grande macchina,Grande pilota!Spettacolo puro!!!!
Good driving by the both of you at Adenauer!!
Awesome! Nice ride!! Alfa 🤘
what a fantastic car. lovely interior too.
Great GTA R! And very good Max ..
Great video, the Alfa had that Porsche beat on the bends, you did the wee car proud. Well done!
Fantastic car and a tidy bit of driving to boot. I'm certain the 911 driver was quite perplexed by the view in the mirror.
A chap from Morgan brought me here but by god it was worth it. Stunning work.
+Stuart Hamilton Me too :-)
An absolutely amazing beast driven by some incredible driver
Hats off sire
Really nice drive man!
excellent driving - man, what a car :)

Great drive.. last 3 minutes was like watching a movie!!
What a car! Excellent driver

Wow nice driving skills! And what a nice car, no modern techology, just raw power! :D

Faaaak that was a nice bit of driving! Bet everyone who watched this had a smile on their dial😃. Wish the Porsche had a rear facing camera going!!
Great driver and amazing car!
this is crazy! What a drive
That's some very high quality driving.
It reminds me the sound of the 4A-GE, amazing car! Alfa Romeo is love and life
Very nice clicking sounds at gear changes! :)
Fantastic sound!
You don't need pricey therapy sessions when there are videos like this out there 👍

Such a beautiful car. That driver must really have the best time. Jealous is the best word here..happy for him, though
Very nice, but I miss the reaction of the GT3 driver ! I wanna see his or her face :-)
"...and yet, i keep seeing this 1300 gt junior in the mirror... that's when I said to myself, no more cocaine, ever"
Its funny to think how the GT3 is probably the cheaper of the two cars as well haha but we all know which one is cooler!
Adorable car! love it..
this is just godlike!
Epic footage!
complimenti sei veramente grande, complimenti anche per la macchina.
this is so satisfying
What makes it even more amazing is that there is no aero on this car! Great work
oh... it reminds me the sound of my Alfa 33 Imola. Thtat 1.4 L boxer had a great sound when pushing 2° and 3° gear
Lovely heal and toe work
Wow! What a ride!
Great car, BRILLIANT driver.
awesome ride!
Wow I liked, pure race
