Snail Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Anyone seen one of these yet? Saw a red one at the festival of speed, and damn they are stunning, yet another jaw dropping Alfa, certainly a real competitor to the A3/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 I havent seen one yet, but I do what one in a few years, either that or a 159. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snail Posted August 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 I've seen a couple of these of the road now, and im finding them very colour sensitive. They look awesome in black or red, but silver, grey, etc just look rubbish to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malagus Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 they look great, and I just hope Herr kalbfell (sp) makes the quality of the new models improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Well the 159 hasn't got off to the best start as the Journo mules have had trim falling off left right and centre, and one was left for two hours as the electronics decided to give up.

malagus Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 apparantly the mules arn't the final production models though IIRC. The new gtas (according to the new boss) will be lightweight, 4wd monsters, unlike the overly powerful current bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacingRed Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Gorgeous. Best thing that's going to be reasonably attainable in the next couple of years. I just hope I can afford to get behind the wheel of one. The pic is great, exactly the spec I'd choose, red with the telephone dial rims. "Bella machina" Anyone know when the V6 is going to hit the market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 V6 is already on the market, Future GTA's will be V8 models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacingRed Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hmm... Not sure I like the sound of that. Italian V8's are great but in the front? Hanging out on that front axel? Could end up being very nose heavy. Plus theres the consumption, I think a V6 with four wheel drive will be the best compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 If Alfa use the proper suspension components, rather then the bodge job they done with the JTD's on the 156 then it won't be a problem, BMW managed it with a V10 in the M5 and look how pin point that is. Stats for the GTA models are 4.2 V8 JTS GTA 430hp/480Nm + Q4 The 169 will get the same engine but it will be at 480hp, the same that the 8C has.

andyboy Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Yes he has. I drove a 159 recently and the build quality is really good - better quality interior plastics than the 3 Series 320d we tested it against. It's got a new motor with chain driven cams so hopefully it'll be a good car. Certainly looks the bollocks, as does the Alfa GT. Every time Alfa make a car like this, it becomes more credible. Certainly an informed choice as opposed to another bastard 3 Series/A3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
