POV Drive to the top of STELVIO PASS in the Alfaholics GTA-R290

- Another day another Alfa.
Today was my turn to experience the sheer thrill of being in an Alfaholics GTA-R290. A 2.3 litre Alfa Romeo Twin Spark Engine producing 240bhp screaming up to 7,000rpm. Petrolhead Tours created a "Drive Out" mid morning to take us to the top of the infamous Stelvio Pass. And my god was it beautiful.
This particular Alfa Romeo GTA-R has been driven by some of the most influential automotive journalists such as Chris Harris and Henry Catchpole.
If Chris Harris quotes "If Singer is to Porsche then Alfaholics is to Alfa Romeo" then the brothers of Alfaholics must be onto something.
Sit back, plug your headphones in and enjoy one of the greatest noises I believe a car has ever made.

Everyone should experience an Alf Romeo
in the life .
Carp'e Diem !
Stop playing music while an Alfa engine is running.
Fantastic. Thanks for making this video. The Alfaholics bros are doing the world a great service. They are the real deal. If i suddenly came into lots of money i know exactly what i would do.
I once did three laps as a passenger in a 911 rsr at Paul Ricard and shortly after was reunited with my lunch. But just goes to show the car was being driven properly WHAT A MACHINE!!
I grew up with a brother in law who raced Alfas in autonItalia so have always been aware i need an alfa. With prices going up And up i think at the end of the year I will put a junior in the garage before its to late.
Don't be too harsh on the 75! I had a red 3.0 V6....the last Alfa rear wheel drive. She still appears in my dreams!
I want one now! Hahah
I now drive a Land Rover Defender! However I get a taste of Alfa occasionally as my partner drives a Giulietta. @@Patchworksproductions
Defender..... my dream
I have a 1.8 turbo I.E 😁👌🏻
75 3.0 cloverleaf is one of my favourite Alfas. a friend had one. it was EPIC but rusted away, sadly.
And İ am here driving my 159 Diesel with 120 horses pretending that İ drive an Alfa. Unbelievably good content!
However it's not that bad. And it's so beautiful
Its videos like this we surf youtube hoping to find - Absolutly awesome!
YES!!! Thanks!!
Awesome videos these last couple of Alfaholic's.. love those era alfa's and these vid's are some of the best i've seen on the brand and model! Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for making us hear so well the incredible sound of this car
Lmao the closed captioning says the engine note is music. Couldn’t agree more
What a gutsy street fighter that Alfa is! Out manned and out gunned, he didn't give an inch of ground to a car with twice the power!! ''''''well done!!!
Think about it ????
Without Alfa Romeo
There would be no
FERRARI. 😎
Frank Fitzpatrick And without Ferrari there would not be Lamborghini. Alfa has the biggest heritage in European car manufacturing, truly.
Frank Fitzpatrick that‘s absolutely correct!
Marius Ipad Feruccio Lamborghini bought a Ferrari and complained to Enzo about the clutch while offering an improvement. Enzo told him to eff off and stick to tractors, Ferruccio got mad and started a car company in response.
The rest is history lol.
@Marius Ipad true but what he means is Lamborghini would probably still be a tractor company
Alfa didn’t start the Ferrari company, they bought it,and if they didn’t I’m it I’m sure another car manufacturer would have.
The twin cam IS the music.! Just incredible
... when I see the video, I would like to start immediately with my Bertone Scalino going to Stelvio Pass! Great Videos! Regards from scuderia scalino
I want one of these so badly in a widebody. I can't imagine driving something that light. It looks so fun.
Great video, thanks for what you do and always come on Alfa Romeo, legendary brand, hello👍🎖️🎖️🎖️
Alfa Romeo…..what an iconic badge and back catalogue.
I want one of these soooooo badly.
One of the best place in the world with one of the best car in the world. The one and only italian style. Nothing in the whole world could never ever be compared to.
Absolutely insane. I'd happily give an arm to experience this. Fucking fabulous.
Sooooo amazing the sound from this
Fantastic vid, thank you. That blue GTJ/GTV is spectacular looking, you don't often see that sublime shape revealed so well from angles like elevated side-on. A highlight is the Super, up-shifting as passes; 10:20
I wish we had some roads like that Down Under! Bloody awesome 👏
I know right...
The Adelaide hills have some awesome roads and don't even get me started on devils elbow what a road that is.
That car is gorgeous. The best looking Alpha?? Mind you they all tend to be good looking don't they. Stunning Italy too. 🇮🇹🇮🇹🍀🍀
Awesome that GTA-R in these landscapes. I wonder the engine sound echo travel all around the valley.
Great Video. A Trip to the Stelvio Pass is still on my list... 2019 is comming 😜
Watched this whole video without blinking, my chicken rice and peas got cold because I forgot to eat. Well done man!
Hahahah thanks man!!!
_Forza Alfa_ 💕🇮🇹🍀
Delicious GTA. Absolutely lovely cars. Saw them at the Alfa Museum in Milan. Mind bendingly elegant.
Lovely cars
I have an F355 which makes a godly noise but this Alfa is sweet music to the ears 👂
Thank you. I have always wondered how a perfectly in focus windshield wiper must look on a GTA-R against the fuzzy background of one of the most beautiful driving roads in the world.
Awesome video mate, loved it.
Thanks man!!
Incredible sound very very Best sound !!! Viva Alfa Giulia 😍😍👍👍
hmm Max, i loved the looks of the 75...;)
Trully dream car and scenery!
Wicked uploads buddy 👍👍👍
Thanks!!
Does anybody else look at this and think we need a company that does this with normal cars for normal people.
"They are to Dacia what Singer is to Porsche"
Sounds exactly like a stock Ferrari F430 from inside. Unbelievable!!!!
After almost 3 decades of searching for my holy grail car. This is it…
You fucken legend mate I loved that.
Il cambio della serie 105 è fantastico (105 series gearbox is fantastic)
fantastic and Stelvio isn't to bad either NOISE mmmmmmmhh :)))
I used to own a ‘69 1750 GTV in fairly standard trim, except for Koni yellows, rebuilt suspension and decent alloys and tyres, it was great fun. Now have a Giulia 1300 Ti, which I have slowly been acquiring parts for it from Alfaholics to upgrade its suspension etc. what I am curious of is how comparable is the GTA -R 290 to their Giulia 1600 Ti Super - R. I do miss having a GTV.
Two very different cars funnily enough... as a driver they say you most noticeable thing is the weight increase high up in the Ti Super...
Thanks for the feedback, I did hear what you noted on the differences when you got into Andrew’s car. Great filming mate, and what an epic tour. 👍
Love the video, cars are beautiful, scenery is beautiful. What is the tune at 1103?
Some copyright free stuff my dude!
That opening drone shot!!!!! Another EXCELLENT video mate :-) (brave man with full cage and no helmets!)
Pete’s getting good with some direction 😂 hahaha it’s all good fun
My iPad is vibrating like hell ! What an engine !
Dam! Pure analogue amazingness!
stunning.
The best part is when you overtake that bmw i8. That guy in the i8 can never experience anything like you guys did in the old beast. The real CARS were made, now they just make vehicles made to go from point A to B. In this old Alfas people were sad when they arrived somewhere and couldn’t wait to get back in the car and go on.
Never, ever play music while a Alfa Romeo engine is running.
Che S P E T T A C O L O !
ALFA ROMEO ❤
So freakin’ awesome... wow
TOP ... nothing more 2 add
Play this on a Bluetooth speaker and put your hand on it, you can feel the vibration of the engine
I almost came to that 4 pot carb engine noise! What is the boxy beauty in front?
2 litre board and stroked to 2.3
Max im going to have to disagree with you about the 75, sure its not 60's styling but its still a great looking car for the time.
❤Alfa Romeo❤🍀👍
Negli anni 60 era una delle auto piu'bella al mondo
Mamma Mia!
Camera far too shaky man, otherwise fantastic tirp u had!
Of course, a guy from Offenbach blocking better drivers...
ok, so that's one advantage I have over you - an iron stomach (the result of English boarding school training).
Ok...i am in love 👍🤓😎❤️
..and the white Giulia is ahead..
Do you know what pov is?
engine sound it's intoxicating even seating at my computer...
awesome!
Che libidine
Excuse me while I change my pants here...
La belva itAliana👌👍
Hello, what model is the MOMO steering wheel? where can i buy it?
I saw it on the alfaholics website
@@tommysheperd670 thanks!
Let me guess ......
Just completely out of this world , a little Alfa that eats a Ferrari for breakfast every morning , burps and spits it out !
The daughter of Brigitte Bardot and Bruce Lee , conseved after a hot night together .
Well ..... something like that ?
It's not meant for speed and speed alone my friend..
Dude, how tall are you?
Hahah 6ft 🤣
🍀🏁🏁
he litteraly just said in the video that the alfa 75 is not a very nice alfa? your friend shouldn't even see an alfa in photo let alone driving it.
Great cars and fantastic road tour, BUT I think I would have more roll cage padding in a fast road car with no helmets being worn.
Doesn't bare thinking about the consequences.
This would have been much better if you would have just mounted the camera in the car turned it on and you stayed at the hotel.

Abarth blockage 🤭
not as bad as the macan lol
Feel so sorry for pete!
He was an arse! Hahah
Now go and film it again and turn off auto focus. Actually just bolt a gopro in there and leave it at that.
Alfa 75 didn't look so good????? You mad?????
Well, ok, you're driving a Giulia GTA, I reckon that the 75 looks really bad in comparison.
bored straight away by a pair of.
che ne sanno i tedeschi...made in italy
i pity english for being forced to shift with the left. poor men ;P
Invidia....
Alfa 75 a not very nice looking car!!!!?????
Appalling photography.
Put simply, not worth showing.
