405bhp Alfa GT!
Autodelta supercharge their GT
405bhp for this Alfa GT
The supercharged Autodelta GT 3.7 Super pushes the Alfa V6 engine and chassis package to even more extreme performance levels -- achieved without compromising practicality and drivability' according to the firm. Now that's a bold claim when you're quoting a power output of 405bhp through the front wheels. Yes, we did say 405bhp.
The standard 3.2-litre engine's capacity is increased to 3.7 litres, and a space-efficient Rotrex C38-81 centrifugal supercharger does the rest. The result is that maximum power figure of 405bhp and an equally useful 375lb-ft of torque.
This GT-based car follows Autodelta's previous attempts with the 320bhp GT 3.2 Super (2004) and the 341bhp GT 3.2 Super Evo version (2005).
Will the front wheels be able to cope?
We're not surprised: the standard Brera V6 is badly hampered by its hefty kerb weight, and yet with four wheel drive it can clearly handle plenty of extra power.
This model will be joined at the event by the Autodelta GT 3.2 Super, 147 GTA AM 3.2 Super and 147 GTA AM 3.7 Super. Finally the supercharged Autodelta 146 2.0, which recently won the 'Chairman's Choice' award at the Alfa Romeo Owners' Club Spring Day, will complete the line-up.
The event takes place this Saturday, 5 May, and features a host of attractions and activities including the chance to drive on the newly-opened Mercedes-Benz World test track. This new feature will complement the long running and highly popular runs up the historic Brooklands "Test Hill" where classic Ferrari V12s and high revving Abarths compete on the short 1 in 4 sprint.
The combination of car demonstrations, club displays, aviation exhibits (including Concorde) and motoring exhibitions, and of course the Italian trade village makes this a great family day out. Also -- and special for this year -- will be a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Fiat 500.
