Alfaholics<\/a> created this \u201cSuper-R 270<\/a>\u201d from a Alfa Romeo Giulia at their company in Clevedon, North Somerset, UK.<\/p>\n

In the engine bay they installed a 2.2 L Twin Spark inline-four producing 240 horsepower at 7,000 rpm. The motor features an aluminum block, custom 94 mm stroke crankshaft, steel rods, and forged pistons. It is topped with a ported head and runs on a Motec M1 ECU. <\/p>\n

Alfaholics paired the motor to a GTA close-ratio manual transmission with superfinished internals. A lightweight driveshaft sends power to a limited-slip differential with titanium axle tubes and high capacity oil sump. <\/p>\n

The car’s redesigned suspension is 34 kg (74 lb) lighter than the factory suspension. It features titanium lower control arms, uprights, and hubs. The company also installed an aluminum T-bar and double adjustable shocks.<\/p>\n

Alfaholics improved braking thanks to billet aluminum six-piston calipers in front with 300 mm vented rotors. In back are aluminum two-piston calipers with 267 mm solid rotors. <\/p>\n

The car rides on lightweight 15×7-inch wheels holding Michelin 185\/65 tires. Weight was further reduced by a lightweight glass windshield and 4 mm polycarbonate side and rear windows. <\/p>\n
