First Firing up of Alfa Romeo Milano/75 3.7 24 valve

The first time a freshly-built Glenwood-modified, 3.7 litre, 24-valve V6 in an Alfa Romeo Milano (75) engine is fired up. Sounds awesome, if a little scary.
The performance version of the production Milano (called 75 in Europe) was an Italian "Mustang" - a rear wheel drive sleeper with a sweet little 3-litre V6 producing about 190 horsepower, it was a nifty little four-door 'mini-Ferrari' with all of the passion, most of the visceral thrills and few of the headaches of ownership of the more famous and glamourous vehicles from the man who began his illustrious motorsports history at Alfa Romeo.
The De Dion rear suspension and Italian heritage provided wicked road-holding and the engine provided a soundtrack that negated the need for any stereo system, which was a good thing as the stereo sat down at the bottom of the dash, lower than the ashtray (Of course - this is an Italian car, ater all!) and is nicely blocked by the gear lever. Tunnels were the perfect excuse to open the windows and the sunroof (on non-A/C cars) and hit the gas! I had a slightly-modified version with about 220 horsepower. This beast must have slightly more.
And before the Alfisti Pedants Club lays into me, yes, perhaps the ultimate "performance" version was the Evoluzione, a limited run homologation special with a turbocharged four-cylinder, better handling and bodywork mods that looked awesome in the decade of Dallas but now have all the taste and charm of a night with Don Simpson.

Piece of art! Alfas are pretty famous in brazil since the 60´s, when they assembled an alfa plant in here. Is good to see that some fellows in North America are paying the due respect to this italian engineering beast. Even though we have some exceptions commeting nonsense in here too.
i love the sound from the oldschool alfas... the REAL alfas! cool! ;)
wow! i`ve had three alfa`s 164, 155(awesome) and a 156 which i loved, watching this video i NEED another alfa.
I was about to buy a pair of milanos, (red and black), and then some other fucker bought them, then i bought a 1974 GTV and i LOVED it. came with fuel injection, then modded it to twin Webers. 120 HP inline-4, sounds godlike mergeing on the highway. I just love alfas
I've owned 5 of those bastards. The engines are so fickle, but WOW are they fun when they're tuned and behaving. It's a unique motor with an unmatched sound, very versatile and dynamic: loads of power all the way to the redline, and forgiving if you dip past it a little ;)
My laptop vibrated from the noise. Thats what I call effing loud!
Sounds great when you rev it
I got a friend that has one of these and it's loud as hell hes puttin in a big ass turbo soon Monsterous

@g4zzauk are you sure? the 75 was the last true Alfa ever made! now is owned by FIAT! but if all goes well they should resume to make real Alfas with the next 4c.
