Alfaholics<\/a> built this Alfa Romeo GTA into a GTA-R 290<\/a> at their company in Clevedon, England. The car is now powered by an Alfa Romeo Twin Spark<\/a> inline-four making 240 hp. It features a custom 94 mm stroke crankshaft, steel rods, forged pistons, ported aluminum heads, DLC camshaft, and Motec M1 ECU. Behind that is a GTA close-ratio five-speed manual transmission and lightweight driveshaft sending power to a limited-slip differential with titanium axle tubes. The car rides on Alfaholics’ GTA-R 300 Ultraleggera lightweight suspension. It features billet titanium lower control arms, tubular titanium upper control arms, billet titanium uprights, and titanium rear trailing arms. Braking is handled by six-piston with 300 mm slotted rotors in front and two-piston with 264 mm solid rotors in back. Covering those are 15×7-inch wheels with Yokohama 205\/55 tires. <\/p>\n
