Interesting concept, wonder what the v10 is out of? Personally would have preferred a V12 but impressive regardless I would imagine.

Did you see the video I put up of the replica Ferrari p3/4. Apparently there are about 4 different versions being made, all with late model Ferrari mechanicals. Pricy but cool and damn cheaper than the real thing of which only 3 or 4 were made.

....

The v10 comes with the donor car. As the comment with the video says " As you can see the car is based on the Dodge Viper SRT-10 and utilizes the same 8.4 liter V10 engine." 

I'm sure that when you order yours you could upgrade the engine to v12 something.  ;)

Everyone knows the first 6 cylinders are required to overcome the engine's internal friction, and the other 6 make the power....   ;P

Had thought it sounded like a Viper V10, but didn't wish to assume and obviously missed that comment.

Ha ha, yeah fair call Scott.

At least you could have a fast get away car, to try to avoid being locked away.

Wow! So you can glue an Alfa badge on any old thing and people will be convinced that it is in fact, an Alfa Romeo.............  ::)

Lets get 1 thing well and truly straight!!!
This car is NOT an Alfa Romeo! This car IS a Dodge Viper!
If you genuinely believe that this thing is an Alfa, go out into the world, find the largest, most head kicking-est dude you can find (a decent boxer or bouncer should do), and ask this person to Open hand slap you in the face, as hard as they can!!!!


>:(

Certainly, a new exterior on the basis of an existing car represents a compromise, because many parameters and proportions are already predetermined. Still working within the 167.7-in. length, 78.0-in. width and 47.0-in. height, the TZ3 Stradale manages to convey that it is an Alfa Romeo through and through.

It's when ABSOLUTE C@#KHEADS believe total B$LLSH!T like this, that great (yet realistically dead) automotive names get turned into nothing more than marketing exercises!
