It was a 1.6 litre turbocharged engine running 280bhp,now a 2 litre turbo running 400bhp.

Stripped out and painted interior,custom roll cage,custom made race short shifter system.

Cracking vehicles by the way.

Colour is Alfa grigo platino (platinum grey) but its more of a greenish colour.
I thought about a respray,but it looks good (to me anyway) in the daylight with the carbon bonnet and the black roll cage and 147 Cup car race seats in it.Wheels are 8 x 16 inch Compomotive M0 16s in anthracite with 225 50 16 Kumho Tyres.Brakes are Brembo GTA 4 pots with custom made Brembo 320mm lightweight 2 piece brake discs

The Alfa looks great with 16" wheels, too many cars have painted on tyres.

Fantastic car, bet it's a hoot to drive thumbup

No doubt that the 916/996/etc are the best looking bikes ever to grace the roads. Utterly stunning vehicles. Knew a guy years back with a yellow 748. Awesome.

At some point in this life I will own one.

Interested to learn more about the replacement heater matrix device that seems to have been fitted... Would a heated windscreen not have been a better option or are they not available for the 147?
