Alfa Romeo GTV AlfaCorse

[Thanos 193]

Quoted post of vanctokyo from Alfaowner

 

"in any event i have rec'd confirmation from italian alfa forum that there was a special edition TB created in partnership between fiat & wealthy japanese alfista (was imported & supported by alfa japan).

less than 100 editions, all plated & badged as "alfacorse"...here are basic changes from stock TB (alfacorse spec)

 

front suspension

spring rate 17n/mm → 23n/mm, 35mm height down

rear suspension

spring rate 30n/mm 26 → ~ 53n/mm, 10mm height down, lowered on Bilsteins

 

Engine:

-intakes under bumper larger

-larger intercooler

-intercooler pipejoints switched to aluminum from rubber

-engine remapped (more turbo boost, fuel, air) resulting in published specifications:

.bhp 235 @ 6360 rpm versus stock 201 @ 6000 and torque increased 27.6kgm/2750 → 31.0kgm / 3,000 rpm.

-dual (alfacorse) exhaust

 

other

-special alfacorse spoiler

-carbon fibre interior parts

-alfacorse bumper for dual exhaust

 

3 on the market here.....about 20% premium over TB price."

I had some conversations with vanctokyo and the data you  present is probably all he managed to collect, any images (except those external and internal) or other facts on the modifications didn't appear on this odd TB.

I digg the larger Air Vent in the front spoiler. I have never seen or heard anything about this version.

There were some interior shots somewhere. I'll try to find them

Funny this is that those cars are obviously pre-1996 production and 1st reg is 1999 or even 2002

 

And of course already started a page for this mysterious car:
