Autodelta has certainly set worldwide standard for redefining Alfa Romeo’s evocative models, creating bespoke masterpieces that fuse optimized performance and dynamic capability, turning them into the unrivalled products that Alfisti demand. Autodelta’s supercharging systems are noted for bringing life the Italian sportscars in a way that few can imagine.
For ultra high-performance tyres, visit www.goodyear.com.my Among Autodelta’s display cars are two brand-new models which were launched last month - the Autodelta J4 3.2 C and the Autodelta Brera S 3.2 “Compressore”. There’s also the world’s first tuned Alfa 8C Competizione. Autodelta has already refined one of these machines that have galvanized the marque in the minds of the public and media alike with their retro-looks and powerful 4.7-litre V8 engines. This specific car has been reworked by Autodelta’s engineers to allow them to begin our future development phase of the new V8 engine, and included intensive testing on leading European race tracks where the Alfa 8C Competizione was born. The car has its ECU software remapped to optimize response, with a small power (17 bhp) and torque (20 Nm) increase. Chassis and suspension upgrades will also be available at a later date.
For the exhibition of illustrious Alfa Romeos, Autodelta selected around two dozen significant iconic cars that overlap with the history of Carlo Chiti’s legendary Autodelta racing division and then the later years of the design and tuning house of the same name, creating a tangible timeline, that will allow the visitor to chase their way through a fascinating history, and see and feel the bonds that becomes one. Many of the cars shown were, in fact, taken by these tuning companies through the years and reworked into the ultimate expression of Alfa Romeo sports tradition. This exotic collection also has the pretty Junior Zagato with its 'skin-stretched-tight’ body by the famous Milanese design house and inspired the racing Giulietta Sprint Zagato; the muscular Montreal with its race-bred 2.6 litre V8 engine; the pretty little Alfasud which took the marque into a whole new territory and reshaped its values; the Giulia GTA which brought so much touring car racing glory to Milan, with its amazing on-track success, and bringing the display up-to-date, the new MiTo.
