Wow, I miss my GTV1750 I had in Melbourne, Australia in the early 80s, a little masterpiece of engineering.A week after I bought it I pulled the engine out and replaced the bearings, rings, water pump, then sent the head and oil pump away to be checked, when I ran the engine again it felt like had an extra 40 hp! My friend was a Jag and Aston Martin owner, he said "if this was made in england I'd buy one", that was a very big compliment coming from him! My GTV could not stand up to what this GTAm goes through, anyone would love that noise these great little engines make!Thanks for keeping these lovely Alfas alive!
You probably dont give a damn but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
@Sage Zayn Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
There's something about Alfas when you drive them, you WANT them to win... You just know its no ordinary car. Can't explain to those who haven't raced one.... ❤😊💪
Grazie per avere condiviso !!!! Mi pare di vedere che Ralph, come tutti i piloti, abbia una preferenza per una determinata parte del circuito. Trovo che assetto e convergenza siano straordinari !!!!!!!!!!!!
Grande Alfa GTA... 40 anni portati veramente da dio, sia per il design che per il motore e sopratutto la stabilità, davvero notevole per un'auto del genere - e dell'epoca - a trazione posteriore. Non è un caso se una buona parte di quelle rimaste in circolazione (tolte quelle in mano a collezionisti) vengono preparate per competizioni di vario genere, e riescono a ridicolizzare parecchie... "nipotine"...!! (specie se al volante c'è uno rabbioso e incazzato come il pilota del video)

That car just seems perfectly balanced. The engine seems powerful and sounds great! And the driver did a good job. Those Porsche 911 didn't have a chance. The only one it couldn't catch.. was the yellow GTAM at the end
It had no problem catching up with the mustang which probably has twice the power, LOVE the old Alfas. That mustang does not really belong on a track..
+Jonka Olofsson Mustang, typical US car engineering, stick a big engine in a car and they think it is a sports car. This Mustang is probably modified though. I used to joke with my friends that my old 1750 was 50 years ahead of the drum brakes, push rods and heavy US inspired Fords and Holdens in Australia :)
+John Honey you're totally right and yes the 105-chassis were indeed extremely modern for their time.. Disc brakes all round and coil springs all round when they were introduced in the early 60s. 5-speed gearbox with syncros and everything. All aluminium engine. Truly masterful cars!
I get chills hearing that beautiful engine. I know I will be a long way from owning one. But your POV video is the next best thing. Driven the way it was meant to be.
Tolles Rennen, schönes Auto. Ich habe seit 31 Jahren alte Alfa. Das Design ist gut und man wird oft darauf angesprochen. Aber deshalb habe ich noch nie einen Alfa gekauft. Für mich ist der Sound am wichtigsten. Das macht für mich den größten Reiz aus, egal, wie stark der Motor ist. Deshalb mag ich die 1300 lieber, die drehen einfach 1000 Umdrehungen höher.
Very good pilot, very efficient. Turning in early pays off. Once turned in a little bit too early : Blanchimont, last lap, but there was place enough to get wider on exit.
war mein 2. Autochen - in den frühen ´80ern - nach meiner 1600er Junior eine echte Steigerung - was für tolle Zeiten damals, hat massig Spaß bereitet das edle Teil - & was die heute nwohl WERT wäre....:::)))
OMG> I'm in love. I have four post 2001 Alfa's and never really liked the 'old' Alfa's. I've always been into 'British metal' from the '60's' so seeing an old Alfa sound like this!!!! Well seriously the difference between overhead cam and push-rod.. yeah I managed 200+hp out of my turbo charged Cooper S powered 1960 English 850 Deluxe (obviously heavily modified).. but it never sounded like this.. makes me want to go out and race in an ol' Alfa!!!

Ciao ricordi male la GTA-M era la versione non alleggerita carrotteria in Ferro era la derivazione del Alfa Gt 1750 America che era gia´ ad iniezione e quindi Hanno creato su quella base la GTA-M, Cosa ti ricordi benissimo e che era la piu´ cattiva la GtA-M 1750 e poi cera la GTA-M 2000 che era imbattibile e ancora oggi in pista fanno paura alle Auto moderne
La GTAm stava per Gran Turismo Alleggerita, cioe' con carrozzeria di alluminio e doppia accensione. La famosa M alcuni dicono che significhi Maggiorata (da 1600 a 1750 e 2000) altri dicono volesse dire Gt America. Non lo si riesce a capire neanche sui libri.....
Ma cosa avevamo in mano negli anni '60 e '70? Hanno lasciato perdere tutto pur essendo auto vent'anni avanti alle altre. A parte le vicende Alfa Rome c'è anche un po' il nostro vizio di lasciar morire i progetti invece di mantenerli e affinarli.
Diamo a Cesare quel che è di Cesare, ad affossare Alfa Romeo fu Ciriaco De Mita il quale per far costruire uno stabilimento, che ad Alfa non serviva e non sapeva cosa produrvi, nel suo bacino elettorale fece accordare Alfa con la Nissan per produrre l'Arna e defenestrando Luraghi (la cui guida permise la nascita di vetture come la Giulia o la 33 Stradale) che si opponeva alla follia del progetto
kaum zu glauben, aber GENAU diese "siebzehnfuchziger" Junior war 1985 mein 2. Auto, nachdem ich vorher eine 1600er Junior als 1. EIGENES Auto hatte, gekauft 1984 vom Bauern für läppische 690.000 Lire - heute grad mal 350 €... schnüfff....
Cast iron solid rear axle on leaf springs. Alfa was the best solid rear axle set up I ever drove. I gave my BMW friends hell trying to keep up in 2002tii (close) and 2800CS (faster in a straight line.)
The legend of Alfa Romeo will never die.
I've had over 30 of these cars. Still got 6 and one has a F355 engine shortly being fitted. Man I love this stuff
Awesome drive. Alfa Romeo rules!
Superb video! Very clear shows how perfectly balanced the car is! Such a transparent handling!
I love the way it eats Porsches for breakfast!

Alfa Romeo GTAm..... Mustang and Porche killer :)
best sounding 4 cylinder engine ever.
This looks so easy. Brilliant car, and great driving...
Beautiful car, very competitive. Congratulations to the driver, too!
That Car is Setup Right. What a Blast to ride along
Special car, amazing pilot
Of all the sizes this Jano designed twin cam came in 1750 was the best.
It revs so well it's a joy to listen to.
I must get one

A heart of STONE, most likely....
Alfa Romeo 1750 gta-m is fantastic!
that last chicane at spa has to be one of the worst corners in motorsport
that red porsche was having some fun! beautiful to see in motion
two of the most beautiful cars ever made. GT and 911 possibly both around '70 version
Super Ralph, du zirkelst den Alfa wie es sein sollte...!!! Du hast sie alle flach gefahren...

Nice driving.

LINDA CARRERA MI PADRE TUBO UN ALFA ROMEO 1750 EN CUBA CUANDO YO ERA VIEN CHICO Y COMO CORRIA VENIA PARA 220 KILOMETROS
Alfa Romeo Giulia "Italia Muscle."🇮🇹

ottimo assetto
8:53 What happened to that poor porsche driver?!
This red Porsche!
Coole Startsequenz...
GT Legends :)
Ofcourse it go it have a V8 engine and Alfa have 1750 4 cly engine and it is still keep it up with the mustang :D sorry for my english

+rogsoll The GTA is coming !!!!!!! I better move to the outside !!!!
You meant "to suicide"...

0:17 that 5th downhill chicane is scary as fuck
nice run...but don't think the gearing is correct for this circuit
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe .
che alfa!!!!
Amateur here... Why don't I hear him blipping the throttle on downshifts?
Uwau
La GTAm stava per Gran Turismo Alleggerita, cioe' con carrozzeria di alluminio e doppia accensione. La famosa M alcuni dicono che significhi Maggiorata (da 1600 a 1750 e 2000) altri dicono volesse dire Gt America. Non lo si riesce a capire neanche sui libri.....
MrPuntatacco
si c'e molta confusione in merito ,parlando anni fa con Santino Balduzzi mi ha confermato Gt America ma sui siti ognuno dice la sua :-)
Jesus that thing just kept on eating beetles!
Il mustang è un proiettile in uscita di curva
Better to take a driving course, inconsistent steering the apex, leasy gearchanges
che missile
La M era la versione ancora più cattiva è alleggerita se non ricordo male...
Anything MORE FUN
Would certainly be....
ILLEGAL!
OOO LA LA!

Comment elle se fait larguer par la Mustang :)
(Ne pas rire) 2:48 ..... alfa 1750 gtam 1985 cm3 lol !
sucks for that grey Porsche, hope he was alright.
bernymonty22 : Alfa 1750 GTam has a 2.0 liter engine
No è una 1750cc
Ma cosa avevamo in mano negli anni '60 e '70? Hanno lasciato perdere tutto pur essendo auto vent'anni avanti alle altre.
A parte le vicende Alfa Rome c'è anche un po' il nostro vizio di lasciar morire i progetti invece di mantenerli e affinarli.
Agnelli e compagni?????????????????????????????????????????????
8:52 crash!
poor car. straight to the wall.
tante piccole cose in più che fanno la differenza...
e il signor prodi le ha distrutte dalla prima all'ultima!! nemmeno sà che auto faceva l'alfa...povera italia!!
Diamo a Cesare quel che è di Cesare, ad affossare Alfa Romeo fu Ciriaco De Mita il quale per far costruire uno stabilimento, che ad Alfa non serviva e non sapeva cosa produrvi, nel suo bacino elettorale fece accordare Alfa con la Nissan per produrre l'Arna e defenestrando Luraghi (la cui guida permise la nascita di vetture come la Giulia o la 33 Stradale) che si opponeva alla follia del progetto
8:50 was straight ! hahaha
OMG 8:50 poor Porsche...
yup, that was expensice

schnüfff....
Se le mangia tutte
you have divorced with 2nd gear
quelle Porsche non facevano una curva senza mettersi di traverso, che schifo. L'Alfa è perfetta, le curve se le mangia...
porsche handling LOL

No, they were based from 1750 bored to 1,985 cc.
