Alfa 147 GTA: The Greatest FWD Car I've Ever Driven

On paper, a FWD Alfa with a heavy V6 and 250hp shouldn't work, but my God, it's one of the best things I've driven in ages. As for the noise...you guys are in for a treat!

"Please don't love it, please don't love

Alfa Romeos summed up perfectly in a single sentence.

This is my car. Massive thanks to Alex and the guys, great day filming and a superb video. Really done the GTA justice. Don't be put off by the cost, look after them and they look after you. An appreciating modern classic worth £12-15k for the very best (for now!).

[maisumaqueda]

hands down, alfa has some of the most beautiful rims ever

[N.D.]

These were ENGINES... pure sound, without horrible plastic...

[DaChillr]

This is 4 years old now. I still come back just to relive the first 46 seconds for this absolute dream of a busso sound!

[VehicleVirals]

Awesome production quality. This automotive channel is truly an inspiration.

[joshbacon]

Think of the sound the Alfa Busso V6 makes as like the automotive equivalent of an orchestra.

[DaveP]

Owned several Alfa 3.0 V6s and you just couldn't shut that engine off before 10-20s of blipping the throttle to about 5k. Such a glorious, quintessential Italian burble-into-high pitch wail they make. It almost makes your cry, like a beautiful Italian engine opera!

[Josh-eroz]

That Alfa 3.2 V6 really is one of the greatest engines ever

[jstice]

Im on my third Alfa and honestly I dont think I will ever drive anything else. I truly love them and unless youve had one, youll never understand.

[sibbolo]

Giuseppe Busso, funny fact, was not a graduated engineer, i learn himself how to. Old school badass mind... we really miss this kind of man today.

[DavidS]

Nicely filmed and edited, you are getting close to old top gear/Grand Tour quality

[barefootdriver]

I just rewatched this. It's a classic and part of the reason you guys have done so well. Superior production. I hope you get that GTA one day. I have a GT!

[ChaosphereIX]

Busso is the best V6 ever made. End. The reason I bought my 155 V6. One pull in 2nd and I was done.

[simocreations]

alfa's engine is the best sounding v6 ever. you got to agree

congrats on the 2m subscribers

[niklas]

Owned 2 Alfa Romeo GT's, loved them. Alfa is just something different, especially in Germany, where you always see the same boring shit like Audi or VW

[sifty]

Alex is the person. Who SHOULD BE, on topgear. Then it would be worth watching.

[gsilva]

Apparently, it brings a lot of joy to the driver, and a lot of suffering for mechanics. It's a true italian car, after all...

[Jabber-igiw]

Every true petrolhead should at some point own a car with a busso V6, it is a glorious engine.

[ISSpartan]

You should swap that engine into Phil, get the best of both worlds. You were already thinking V6 so why not!
