Joao Gois #82 - SOLVED: 1986 Alfa Romeo GTV6 2.5 Zagato

[Joao Gois]

What engine's this? One point for who tells me what car held this engine, as also the engine type.

[HEMI 426]

This is Alfa Romeo GTV6, it's 2.5 L V6 with 12 valves and 160 PS
Engine is so called Busso V6, which had many incarnation and was made ( in all variants ) from 1979-2005

[Joao Gois]

Well, I'm going to give you the point anyway but this was taken from the Zagato. The engine hood is flat.

BTW, damn, you're good!

I have both an Alfa 75 3.0 6V america and a GTV 2.0 V6 Turbo 
Still the best (sounding) V6 in the world

This car was not equipped 2.5 V6. Its 1983 Alfa GTV6 Zagato with 3.0 engine
And this car isn't transaxel.

[Joao Gois]

Sorry?? Of course it is a 2.5 V6 engine! 2492cc (88mm x 68,3mm) engine, 160bhp longitudinal engine... and transaxle gearbox!

Central tunnel from Alfa 6, ZF gearbox coupled with engine, like Alfa 6. Steering wheel from Giulietta Turbodelta, seats from Spider '83.

And Autodelta 3.0 V6 engine.

[Joao Gois]

I think you are a bit confused there. Autodelta 3.0 litre engine was a V8, not a V6. And the 3-litre V6 was only introduced by Alfa Romeo in 1987...

"The Alfetta introduced a new drivetrain layout to the marque. Clutch and transmission were housed at the rear of the car, together with the differential for a more balanced weight distribution "  in Wikipedia.

Autodelta engine V6 3.0 for 1984 South African GTV 6 (limited series for omologation, only 200 cars were made)
2934 cm
93x72
9:1
186 hp at 6700 rpm
26.5 kgm at 4300 rpm

But GTV6 3.0 was used 6 dell'Orto FRPA40 from Alfa6. This Zagato GTV6 3.0 was used Bosch L-Jetronic

But that's not the Zagato... that's the South African GTV6, which had a bored-out 3.0L version of the 2.5L V6 the European V6 used...

I'm not going to argue about the gearbox layout cause that I had no backup, since I thought they used the regular GTV6 as base for the Zagato, not a whole different base.

As for the V6, I have to check my register...
