Alfaholics GTA-R 290

My god this is divine !! Would love to see a proper car modder take on this little lovely beast !

 

truly master piece

 

Would be close to the top of the list in the dream garage deffo...

 

190k...
I bet you can get similar (probably better) driving experience in form of a Caterham, for far less money
And you can try them out @ (7 super sprint 1700cc and 165) both avilabile on RD
"The 165 drives like it was made at jesus birthday." (c)Itcars
*possibly the best car in AC

 

A Caterham's very nice but it's just not a GTA though is it???

There's an incredible amount of bespoke engineering that goes into these cars.

 

If I may, this one goes well with the R-290.
It's the GTA Autodelta (the one we have also in AC) and it is the base of the one above.
The video is in Italian but English subtitles are available as well.

 

Since were on an Alfa subject

 

Was it 190K in total or 190K on top of donating the car? If I ever win the lotto (I guess I'd have to start playing for that to happen) I'd definitely buy one of those.

 

Not sure, but it sounded like Alfaholics gets a Giulia Junior that is the basis for the GTA-R 290.

But I think Harris also said that price is excl. VAT ('vodka and tonic').
So price before VAT is 190k GBP / ~215k € / 252k $, many EU countries are around ~20%, so it's roughly a 1/4 Mio. €.

But if I'd have the money I might take such a car over a Ferrari/McLaren/Lamborghini/etc. super car.
Of course they are great, but I think the Alfa is more fun to drive on a normal road.

 

You’re right, of course, the base model was a Junior but it was completely transformed and when finished it was GTA more then a Junior

I suppose an original GTA Autodelta would be quite expensive to be used as base for the project because they’re price can be even higher than 190k.

 

Maybe I didn't make my point obvious.
By 'Alfaholics gets a Giulia Junior that is the basis for the GTA-R 290.' I meant that the money for the car Junior base car is included in that 190k figur and it probably doesn't really matter if the car they get is a bit cheaper or more expensive because a more expensive car usually is also in better condition so it's less work for them to overhaul/restore it.

 

IRL i'd give my right arm for that thing, in AC with the official Ford Escort RS1600 in game i'd rather see a mod GTAm or Alfetta GTAm (whichever is closer.)
