Mine is due for mapping after run in. Autolusso reckon 600bhp is safely attainable from this car.

I think your nuts, the car really doesn't need any extra power. Also AL haven't even touched one so they have no clue what they are dealing with.

Masserati ECU apparently. They've done plenty of those. Also, the Germans have recently opened the books on tuning these cars so generic files will already be available for tweeking. Somebody has to jump first and I hate a standard car

Good on you. Also if it does cause damage no doubt AL will be willing to assist in repair.

Have you spoken to any other Alfa specialists at all? There are some who are almost universally well-regarded.

There is an Italian based tuner that is well rated, but Autolusso appears to be very well regarded in the Alfa world and is just along the road from me. Makes sense really.

A safe place to put your money, it seems...

I'd ignore the price. They are purely drumming up interest.

Some cars have sold over list, but not that much.

LOL
Certainly ignore that.

To paraphrase Poltergeist: "It's here..."



What can I say? It's even more impressive out on the open road in amongst normal traffic that it was on its own on a test track. I'm overjoyed with it.

Looks awesome...
I ordered mine early Oct, had a text from the dealer last week saying it was built - how long has it been taking yours to come through the final stages ('in transit' , in the UK etc) until delivery - still feasible for end of the month??

It was approximately 2.5 weeks between build confirmation and handover. I think it all depends on FCA's truck movements.

Thanks - that's great news - What spec did you go for? First time I've seen the dark wheels - they look great- I struggled to decide between those or the tele dials - went for the latter in the end - but those look fab...

Competitzione Rosso
Carbon seats
Carbon s/wheel
Red/black interior
Speaker upgrade
Adaptive cruise
Dark wheels - I figured most people would go for the teledials so wanted to be different!

Cool, very similar - just added the dark rear windows and yellow calipers and not the adaptive cruise. How is the interior red with the Competition Rosso?

Matches beautifully.

Not jealous at all.....

I have to disagree with that. There are other Alfa specialists who are genuinely well regarded. Autolusso just happen to be very good at digital marketing. They have VERY close links with the Alfa Owner forum, such close links that I personally question the amount of love shown for them on there.
