410Hp Alfa Romeo 75 Turbo || RWD Italian Monster On the Limit !!!
This time we go to Greece, where at Ritsona HillClimb 2019, we could find this spectacular Alfa Romeo 75 Turbo unit driven by Vagelis Xantzis in a quite aggressive manner. A very Old-School Machine, with a proper H-pattern Gearbox and Three Pedals, Rear Wheel Drive, no electronics whatsoever and quite a bit of Turbo Lag, it is perfect for some "scary" sideways moments.
With the 1.8L Inline 4 Engine aided now by a Turbo taken from a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII and producing a very healthy 410Hp and moving only 1100Kg, the final result can only be described by the footage provided both outside and Onboard. Although watching Mr. Xantzis manhandling this Beast through this Greek Mountain certainly is something we are sure everyone will appreciate to the fullest....

That was not an Alpha Romeo and this guy was not a driver , that was a fighter jet with a pilot , flying centimeters above the tarmac ...wow . That is why i love older cars and especially Italian cars , for that reason right there , that brutal force , raw power !!!! Masterpiece of a car and that turbo ...mmmm music to my ears !!!!

Many thanks for uploading this footage. We, Greeks, don't have great background in racing, but our Hill Climb Championship is pretty "old school". Greetings from sunny Greece!

I miei complimenti perché non ho mai visto nessuno andare così forte con un controllo perfetto,la 75 ha un gran telaio ma se non la capisci ti mette in difficoltà. Grande mezzo grande pilota=non c'è trippa per gatti
The stability of the Alfetta setup is just unbelievable. Even with 400hp you can see how predictable and forgiving the handling is. Absolutely nothing unexpected happens at that di-dion rear end 👌 beautiful.

Doesn’t look predictable at its limit, looks quite snappy at the rear and need lightning reflexes to keep the car in check.

@@AlfaGTA156 if you listen to the engine it looks to me asthough the only time it twitches is when he puts too much power on too early out of the corners. You can't blame the stability of the car on the power delivery. I'm not saying he's a bad driver, he looks like a very good driver but I think he's having a bit of fun with it. You may disagree but in a way the way it snaps and comes back into line so well is testiment to the handling and stability if the car imo. If you did exactly what he is doing there in most other cars you would wake up in a ditch not knowing what had happened to you..

After seeing lots of crazy Alfas on your channel,i thought i've seen it all-man was i wrong and i'm damn glad i was.This 75 has true widowmaker vibe and attitude that says "don't mess with me" which was more than enough to put a smile on my face.Props to the driver for keeping that car on the road since it's clear that it's really tail-happy.Thanks for sharing this crazy wacko of car with us.
I used to own a 2.0 Twin Spark version of this car, lots of fun! This turbocharged beast is on another level tho!

I love both cars for what they were but the "evolution" name is real regardless what brand uses it. Is that why AR uses names now like Guilia, so they guarantee no one will "steal" it? Turbo's make little sound unless they're broken and spitting out metal shards.... that's a vent-atmosphere BOV and even a shitty Neon SRT makes that sound.

Gearbox is at back of the car , has fantastic weight distribution and traction at the rear wheels which is not made apparent in the video because the roads in Greece are very very slippery , unfortunatelly Alfa didnt make these gearboxes strong and also the gear selection is poor especially 2nd gear you can see this in the video, otherwise they have "soul" and very good handling, the last real Alfa.

OMG my first car was a 75 2L that I turbocharched. It was the best thing ever until I blew up the engine. Got a new engine, turbocharched it and had heeps of fun until I blew up the gearbox haha. I've learned alot since then.

I somehow didn’t know this beautiful car existed. Thanks for the awesome video!
Che spettacolo! Un assetto molto neutro riesce a tenere a bada più di 400 cv, a metà anni 70 con la Stratos si sono raggiunti livelli ad oggi difficilmente eguagliati tanto che qualche anno dopo l'industria Italiana sfornava auto equilibrate, leggere, potenti e affidabili...scusate se è poco ma a vedere il 99% delle auto che girano oggi, mi vien da vomitare...
It's refreshing to see somebody being honest about the horsepower of a vehicle makes... it probably makes a decent amount of torque too.
Great collection of footage as always!
the autentic drive !!
Alghero scala Piccarda💪 complimenti al pilota
That turbo lag though 😂
For me this is just heaven, i can only dream with the day my 75 will be nearer something like this!

@norafizan abdlatif point is, those carmakers you talk about truly started to blossom and produce valid sports cars in the late eighties, but when the 75 Turbo Evoluzione came out what else on the mass produced market was at the same level? Sure, that says nothing about all the decades that came after, many regard the 75 as the last true Alfa, but still...

@norafizan abdlatif in all honesty, if you lived in the US you probably wouldn't be a die hard fan of Alfa, either ... most european brands don't retain their build quality in US exports and the alfas of today are no exception from what I've heard
