It’s an Alfa 164... but with an electric motor... but still with a 5 speed manual.

I cannot even.

I don’t know how I feel about this. It is probably much more likely to work at any given moment.

Looks like a fire waiting to happen.

I see nothing wrong here. 10/10 would drive :)

So it has retained at least a modicum of Alfa-ness.

Costs about $0.15 for a full charge.

...and goes about 30-miles a charge? Seriously though, if he’s not listing range, I’m betting it’s abysmal. CP.

Or, you could go to the opposite end of the fuel economy spectrum and get a 164 with a Brabham Formula 1 V10:

From Banovsky’s car of the day :

Alfa Romeo had been enticed by one of Bernie Ecclestone’s ideas to spice up Formula 1 by having manufacturers race cars as fast as F1 cars, but resembling everyday sedans. But who to make a chassis for the car? Formula 1 constructor Brabham.

Brabham had used Alfa Romeo engines in the past, and the company had just mothballed a V10 unit originally designed for a different team. Interestingly, the engine would have worked perfectly for the 1989 rule change that led to the 3.5-litre normally aspirated formulae that led to, eventually, 3.5-litre V10 engines being the piece of choice. Hmm. And who sold Brabham in 1988? Ecclestone.

So on top of this car’s Nomex aluminum and carbon fibre construction was a lightweight body fitted on top. Weight? 750 kg (1653 lbs). Power? More than 600. Even better is that its shape may look boxy, but it’s far more aerodynamic than a Formula 1 car, and so top speed was something like 349 km/h (217 mph).

I’m pretty sure that this same car was posted here earlier too when it was for sale in eBay. I tried to encourage my Alfa enthusiasts to buy it. Surprisingly they didn’t.

Nice that the AC compressor has been left hanging uselessly in the engine bay.
