  • This car is just a masterpiece! Can't say more!

  • runs on methanol and veg oil

  • I hope everyone knows what they're hearing/seeing when they watch this video. This car (or another one just like it) was used to win the FIRST EVER two Formula One world championships in 1950 & 1951. It's powered by a 1.5 litre straight six, equipped with a twin-stage supercharger. This engine makes FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY HORSEPOWER (from 1500cc!!!). (this info came right out of the program for the 2010 pebble beach concours (alfa was featured). So I'd say it's true. Yes, INCREDIBLE. But true.)

  • @danthemanpatrick straight eight. sorry. but still.

  • @danthemanpatrick  I am sorry, I did not see your correction note, any way, still...... as you probably meant it was a magnificent piece of work .

  • @pepe190 Absolutely, yes. No worries.

  • @danthemanpatrick With all due respect it was a straight 8 not 6 and it was the only competition to the future competitor from Germany......Mercedes Benz

  • @pepe190 perhaps you noticed my comment of correction I posted shortly after making that mistake

  • @danthemanpatrick Only one correction if you let me, this is a straight-eight cylindres, such a beautiful car, so much power in those tires

  • Most beautiful race car ever conceived. I saw one of these at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours. As a result of seeing it & all the other gorgeous Alfas there, I must say I'm now a bigger fan of the cross & snake than I am of the prancing horse.

  • good god! that scared me!

  • @Michaelation08 You should have been standing next to it i nearly dropped the camera when it started up

  • @motorsportboy1 gotta love 8 cylinders no matter what layout its in. insane! man!

  • im only 12 but i think i am pretty lucky to have seen the alfa. What a wonderful sound that strait eight engine made

  • Without Alfa Romeo the world would not be as passionate about cars as some of us are today.

    Fangio would be very proud to see the 159 still in action today.

    Long live AlfaRomeo ! Happy 100 Years :-)

    Forza Italia , Forza Alfa
