This is something that ran at my local track a while ago. Best looking thing you’ll see all day.
It broke down because Alfa, but it was beautiful while doing it.

Those wheels are perfect on it for some reason.

Totally, they look like they should have been factory.

Which is odd, because I often despise low profile tires/wheels on older vehicles.

This looks like an Alfetta and not a GTV6 which is interesting.

Those cars are actually pretty stout. Comparable or better than the BMW’s of the time. Actually, a ‘75 era 2 liter alfa probably matches up well with darn nearly anything of the era in it’s price range.

However in rebuttal, the Alfetta rear de dion rear suspension was a concept that they could have done without. Its Inboard brakes, rear clutch, rear transaxle was an overly expensive and complicated answer to a question that nobody asked. They would have been far better off keeping the 105 rear axle or doing a simple IRS.
That design probably set Alfa years behind in the market. Overly complicated, hard to service and expensive.
BTW, If anything broke on that track car, I bet it had to do with the rear end...(Says the man that owned one...)
