1938 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900MM

Ovo je motor koji pogoni Alfa Romeo 8C 2900MM. Ovaj 225-konja jak redni 8-cilindrični motor s dva super punjača projektiran je posebno za Grand Prix utrke – što je u osnovi bila predratna verzija Formule 1. Ova prekrasna aluminijska 'sitnica' djelo je talijanskog genija po imenu Vittorio Jano, koji je projektirao većinu motora za Alfa Romeo i vjerojatno je osobno zaslužan za Alfin uspjeh u predratnom automobilističkom sportu. Isti motor nalazio se pod haubom Alfinog 2300 sportskog automobila, pobjednika Le Mansa, i P3 Grand Prix automobila.

Alfa Romeo TZ3 Corsa by Zagato Atelier

Zagato Alfa TZ3 will be based on the Dodge Viper.

That would change its dimensions significantly as the two-seater, rear-wheel drive supercar will grow wider, longer and heavier too than the 850 kg (1874 lbs) TZ3 Corsa. Heavier by a good 600 kg (1320 lbs).

The new TZ3 may also get the Viper's 612 PS (450 kW / 604 bhp) 8.4 liter V10 engine as opposed to the 4.2 liter V8 with 420 PS (309 kW / 414 bhp) of the initial design study vehicle.

And all that extra power would do is make up for all the extra weight.

The TZ3 will be presented at Pebble Beach in August with production set to begin in 2012.

Its official- A few hours ago, I posted up the pics (click here: 8c Competizione), now Alfa Romeo came out with an official press release informing us that'll present the production version of its stunning Alfa 8C Competizione Concept at the Paris International Motor Show this month. Alfa's new red blooded thoroughbred is based on the Maserati Coupe using a slightly enlarged version of the same Ferrari based, 4.2 V8 engine, which now has a capacity of 4,7 litres producing 450 Hp and 470 Nm (47,9 kgm) of torque.

Unfortunately, Alfa hasn't released any performance figures yet on it's limited edition coupe but at least we know now that it'll go in production early next year.Finally, it should be noted that Alfa has plans to add a roadster version (based on the concept previewed last year) to 8c Competizione's range in the near future.
