GTA 6? Alfa GTA 147 vs FloorMat vs Crazy Traffic! // Nürburgring

[@carlohenley4044]

Beautiful sound! Those percussive shifts and naturally aspirated roar are disappearing in modern cars. I have an NB2 Miata with intake and exhaust and while it's far from a fast car, it SOUNDS fast like this one does and, like Misha often says, it has emotion and it's the most fun I've had in 30 years of driving. Thanks for the vid!

[@stansmulders6126]

Nb2 miata is always the answer!

[@Key-z2x]

That engine note reminds me of ford/jaguars duratec 30/aj30 v6 but lacks jaguar's refinement..

[@albertobenelli]

I am italian, i am 47 now . When i was in my 20's i did not understand Alfa cars . Now, with a bit more experience and having had some experience with cars too, i have to say that i think this car will be a collectors car soon . Of course 90% of the reason would be the engine . But the look also grew up on me throught the years .

its a genuine Problem on our 147 too, the mat can get stuck under the Accelerator when your feet push them forward. normally they are clipped in place but those clips break with time.

[@NaturallyAspirated]

This video has made me REALLY miss my 147 GTA! With a few more mods these can be absolutely dialled in to drive! Highly recommend the short shift kit to help with the wobbly gear stick...! The sound is addictive ! Great lap as always Misha!!

[@iamhickx]

Now I need to see a well tuned version of it :) with the roll bars, nicer coilovers, quaiffe diff, really good tyres, some powerplex bushings, and maybe even more power :D Really wanted to see Misha taking out everything from this particular car, and make it "fly"

[@albertobenelli]

You can find it on KZbin . Search for Davide Cironi 147 gta . Unfortunately for you is all in Italian but you will get subtitles and beautiful scenery if Italian roads and amazing sound of the modified exhaust plus diff and other small touches . But as I said in a comment above if I owned one now I would not tune it as I think it will be a collectors car soon .

[@NR-ii4er]

This goes on to show that the Top Gear episode was greatly exaggerated (as it should be since it’s entertainment). The GTAs had some improvements that went beyond the bigger engine. Wider track with specific panels, control arms and dampers, tighter steering rack, oil cooler and an entirely revised rear suspension with modified anchor points. While Alfa should have made the Q2 differential standard, the tipo II rev 3 platform was very refined for its segment and not a cheap Fiat as we were led to believe.

[@rubenvalente]

Its a lovely chassis, but you can achieve the same handling without as much complexity, but its still a riot to drive and looks really composed.

[@Neo2906]

Italian cars are the most beautiful cars in the world. They are so so sexy. I`m driving a 147 GTA too as an daily driver. Well, this car is this kind of " hey, there`s one problem each day "...but i love this car so so much. I know, there are many many other new cars which are way much faster. But the sound and the feeling of this old V6 Busso engine is pure joy. One of the greatst engine ever build !!!❤❤❤❤ Bella italia

[@thomastebbutt1601]

Has it been reliable as a daily? Considering getting one

[@DIEGHOST_8]

[@Rikverse24]

Owned the 156 with Busso Engine and this Engine was amazing. The whole Alfa Romeo feeling was special and you had a smile on your face every day when driving this beauty. But to be honest it was not the fastest car nor the best handling. It was beautiful to enjoy, something Alfa Romeo really did an amazing job. Now I own an Mitsubishi Evo 8. The car is so much faster but the engine has less emotions than the busso engine and it is more focused on being fast than enjoying all emotions. I would buy an 156 GTA again ❤ the 147 is amazing too

[@motorsport_fan9724]

My friend has a black one with 280hp, it sounds great and looks even better... At car meetings and events people look at it like a Ferrari, nowadays it's very very rare also here in Italy... Nowadays if a car designer put a 3.2 V6 engine in a such small hot hatch instead of a 3 cylinders somebody put him into the jail 😂

[@nickfoster8253]

They're actually more rare than a lot of Ferrari's. Was just over 5000 147 GTAs made in total and no doubt many no longer exist as they've been crashed

[@kasimirdenhertog3516]

@@nickfoster8253in Britain they have a registry where you can look up how many are left - perhaps you know it. I believe I read in a forum post once that GTAs have a 50-60% ‘survival rate’, while the regular models do something like 20-30%. Compared to collector cars like Ferraris, they do 80-90%. So quite OK for the GTA, but still like you said increasingly rare compared to Ferraris.

[@stoneeh]

Great NA V6 👌❤ Handling surprised me - way less understeer than I would have expected with a severe front weight bias that was yet worsened by two people in front and rear seat delete. Barely any torquesteer either - does it have an LSD? 6:04 well that's how you actually set up a FWD - front axle softer for increased grip, rear axle stiffer for less grip, to make the car turn easier under braking and acceleration.

[@bodinski100]

my gt busso handles bett than this one, it has lsd fitted..it transforms the car

[@arekb5951]

yeah, there's a lot you can do in order to mitigate unequal weight distribution, in an well set up FWD car some things may seem counter-intuitive (like you mentioned softer front than rear, or rear anti-roll bar so stiff that the car tripods around the corners), but they help a lot to get rid of the understeer.

[@takao4491]

The 147 have proper double wishbone suspension on the rear and multilink on the rear which provides passive steering . It is a really good platform for a track oriented tune or just an enjoyable FWD

[@Jack-cv4ke]

As a driver, I think we're still missing a Tipo 940 Giulietta QV. Not as lovely as the V6 Alfas but there should be tuning potential with a modern turbo R4, and these were even racing as a touring car. I can't help out because mine is just the a diesel with energy saver Pirellis. 😅

@@EndlessVoid98agreed, I have supposedly the most sporty version at the time of sale, the cloverleaf, I wouldn’t really call it a hot hatch even though it’s a decent bit faster than a few of its competitors, including the mk7 GTI, it’s more a GT hatch, massive fuel tank for its class and very soft suspension

[@nickfoster8253]

I own a 147 GTA and a Giulietta QV. Similar in power but the GTA just absolutely trounces the Giulietta in most areas (definitely not fuel economy though 😂). The NA low down power delivery makes the biggest difference and its the thing I notice most when I hop between cars. 1750's have a LOT of turbo lag
