UNBELIEVABLE, I'm open-mouthed, this is a lot of information to digest. Thank you so much! As soon as the door opened and the Procar was there, it was obviously going to be fantastic. That thing was shown at Monza on the weekend of the 1988 F1 race, the noise of the V10 was something else. So many hidden treasures in this video. I need to go to Arese, mecca of the alfisti.

Fantastic! I will make sure I organize a visit next time I’m in Italy!

I’ve purposely waited till I got home from work to watch this and my god it was well worth the wait . Like a hyperactive child with ADHD I was wide eyed and did not blink in fear of missing something special . I think I’m just going to watch it all over again . Plus I just noticed I have dribbled down my chin 🤤

Hyperactivity and ADHD are labels, invented by cunning mofos, selling zillions worth of snake oil "medicine". Get this THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU. Your heart is at a good place my friend, Alfas are distinct machines, no other manufactorer has created automobiles with so much passion. If you don't own one, get one. I do.

Last summer I was in north Italy for holidays. One day I sent the wife and girls to Milan for shopping and I went tonthe Museum. I had the greatest day ever, what a beautiful collection!

This is so pinche cool , i like the Montreal prototype more than production model. I feel like a child after watching this video , i will have to watch it several times to see all fo the models clearly , what work of industrial art , bravo

Watched it three times. My favourites are the Diva (in my eyes far ahead of the final 4C) and, you guessed it, the Montreal design study.

Awesome! I visited the old Alfa collection while living nearby in 2001. It was hidden in some remote part of the Arese facility, you had to ask for the way. Once inside, I felt like a 6yr-old in a candy shop. 🤗

The red Alfetta GTV6 3 litre was built by Zagato has a ZF front mounted gearbox that is why it has a large centre tunnel,the 75 Turbo Imsa is the ultimate evolution of the 75 Turbo Evo,with coil overs , special adjustable de-dion suspension on which the ES30 Zagato was based on.

That was very impressive, what a variety of cars. What surprised me most was the Indy Car engine. Had no idea Alfa was so engaged in US motorsports. Thanks a lot! Ciao 🙋‍♂️

Wow that Alfa that went from Scandinavia to South Africa that’s amazing

Perhaps it is fate that the world would stop temporarily...at the 110th Anniversary of Alfa Romeo...for ‘The Company’ to realize it has enough genuine fans worldwide to finally open its ‘secret garage’ to starving Alfisti around the world...we hunger for togetherness, identity and a deeper commitment to the Alfa Experience!

By sheer coincedence I read an article about the Montreal this very morning. It's in the present issue of dutch magzine "De onschatbare klasssieker" (The priceless Clasic). That white prototype must then have been one of the 2 which where actually shown on the Montreal World Fair. Then it will however have a small Guilia (?) engine. Very rare indeed. I must say that to my taste Alfa Romeo is the only brand that regularly seems to hit styling highspots during the last decades. If only I wasn't so attached to my XM. Oh, and the Coupe Fiat has also been tempting. It's too small to be practical for my freight hauling antics but stylingwise: Olala! Especially the yellow one! Vrooom! But I degress. :-)

6:19 I own a 75 QV fom 1990. And I bought it with the possibilty to buy anonther black one, this one truely original with the original first paint. But I decided to buy the other black one with a great new paint job (far better than the poor thin first paint from the Arese production time), but all details on the car were black (only except for the trimlines in dark grey)! In my opion perfect! I decided to be the owner of one with the best look for this centro stile design (for me it is if the body paint is on all parts, especially the plastic ones) and I was so glad to see, that the last 75 was painted in the same way with all around body paint even on the bumpers (sadly with the coverage we can not take a look at the side mirrors). Thank you for this information gift. A great video. In this times, in which all cars were only badge carriers, it´s so sweet to look at design of this caliber in all kinds of variety. What a marque!!
