Power is routed through a six-speed gearbox on its way to a set of 17-inch track white ultralight racing wheels that totally look the part.

US $2,025.00 (16 Bids) End Date: Monday Jun-02-2008 10:08:24 PDT Blogdigger Media search for Alfa Romeo Blogdigger Media search for Alfa Romeo Alfa Romeo Brera S: "leggerezza" in serie limitata La Brera S non è l’emblema della forza bruta, della potenza a tutti i costi, ma una sportiva capace di offrire intense emozioni nell’atto di guida: nessun filtro dinamico può inibire la sua sincerità di marcia. La definizione di Nicholas Bernard, direttore marketing Alfa Romeo per il Regno Unito, è altamente esplicativa nel riassumere le potenzialità della Brera S, versione speciale della coupé del Biscione realizzata dalla Prodrive. Le due versioni disponibili, spinte dal 2.2 JTS da 185 cavalli e dal V6 3.2 da 260, ricevono una minuziosa elaborazione dinamica, volta ad aumentare handling e guidabilità: molle Eibach, ammortizzatori Bilstein, sospensioni in alluminio con assetto ribassato di 10mm contribuiscono a modificare radicalmente la dinamica di guida rispetto alle versioni di serie. Questo speciale pacchetto ha il pregio di influire anche sul peso, vero punto debole della Brera di serie: grazie anche agli speciali cerchi in lega da 19 pollici (molto leggeri e simili nel disegno a quelli della 8C), l’ago della bilancia scende di 100 kg per la V6 e di 35 per la quattro cilindri, migliorando di conseguenza le prestazioni – 8,6 secondi per raggiungere i 100 per la 2.2 e 7 netti per la Q4. I 500 esemplari complessivi sono già in vendita nel Regno Unito presso i dealer ufficiali Alfa con prezzi compresi fra i 39.000 e i 44.000 Euro. Grazie a never talk to stranger per la segnalazione Via | World Car Fans Alfa building super-limited Spider Mille Miglia edition Filed under: Convertibles, Sports/GTs, Euro, Alfa Romeo, Special/Limited Editions Click image for a high-res gallery of the Alfa Spider Mille Miglia The 500 Abarth Asetto Corse isn't the only limited-edition Fiat Group vehicle that'll be available for order at this year's Mille Miglia. Alfa Romeo will also be taking orders for the 11 Spider Mille Miglia editions it's building to commemorate the 11 times it's won the race. Setting the cars apart from standard editions are Rosso 8C paint, Quadrifoglio shields on the fenders and a red-accented black interior. Translation: it's a super-exclusive paint-and-badging special. Each car is, of course, individually numbered, and their unique ID plates note a different Alfa Romeo Mille Miglia victory. We can totally envision some eccentric collector ultimately securing all eleven rides one day just to have the complete set. Power comes from the automaker's 3.2L V6 producing 260 horses. Price? We don't know, but we'll bet that it more than covers the costs of the model-specific paint and a few extra badges.

Alfa building super-limited Spider Mille Miglia edition

Fiat 500 Abarth Asetto Corse revealed at Mille Miglia
http://barbarawoodhouse.net/1969/12/31/fiat-500-abarth-asett...Fiat 500 Abarth Asetto Corse revealed at Mille Miglia Filed under: Autoblog — John Neff @ 11:59 pm Filed under: Motorsports, Euro, Hatchbacks, FIAT Click above for high-res gallery of the Fiat 500 Abarth Asetto Corse Fiat is in attendance this week at the famous Mille Miglia in Brescia, Italy and it brought with it a whopper of a small car to impress the crowd. On hand is the Fiat 500 Abarth Asetto Corse, a full race version of the little iconic car that sports a screaming 200-hp turbocharged 1.4L four-cylinder that also produces 220 pound-feet of torque. Power is routed through a six-speed gearbox on its way to a set of 17-inch track white ultralight racing wheels that totally look the part. Make no mistake, this is a real race car and a special one-make championship series is being planned that will put it on the most famous race tracks across Europe next year. Only 50 will be made, however, so entry is exclusive. While we don't know the price yet, your bag of Euros will get you a 500 that's kitted out with an aerodynamic package that adds a front spoiler, big rear wing, fender flares at all four corners and two new hood-mounted air intakes to feed the turbo. The interior has been stripped to save weight, which now stands at just 2,050 lbs., and a racing roll bar has been installed to protect the driver who now sits closer to the center of the car to improve weight distribution and driving feel. The Asetto Corse gets big Abarth badges all around and a pastel grey with red striping livery. The one on hand at the Mille Miglia is No. 00/49 and a pre-production prototype, so there are still plenty left for those who've always wanted a 500 race car.
