Great spec, surprising no-one at Zakspeed is left who knows about it.

Transmission was an interesting job - the 4WD system was quite innovative for the time, but initially unreliable iirc.

I still love the Alfa with its mad engine, quite a bit more power than the calibra to make up for slightly iffy handling... Gorgeous!
