Alfa Romeo has produced many successful hemi-head engines throughout the years. Arguably one of their most beloved examples is Giuseppe Busso's original 2.5 liter V6, which has been cited by some as one of the best and most distinctive sounding production engines (even in its latter 24v forms) of all time. Part of this praise is likely because the hemispherical heads on the original "2 valve" engine allowed for an almost completely straight exhaust port, resulting in a less diluted or "muddied" engine sound, allowing Alfa Romeo to use quieter stock exhausts without losing much of their distinct and beloved race-bred engine noises.


Tko da nevem kakšno zadevo je takrat mel bosch da je bla tko posebnaAlfa Romeo tested one of the very first electric injection systems (Caproni-Fuscaldo) in Alfa Romeo 6C2500 with "Ala spessa" body in 1940 Mille Miglia. The engine had six electrically operated injectors and were fed by a semi-high pressure circulating fuel pump system[4].

Lambda že od leta 1972 prisotna in debitirala v Volvu, za katerega je bila prvotno tudi narejena. Šele po tem se je razširila še v druga vozila, povezano pa vedno z elektronskim vbrizgom.TribesMan napisal/-a:... Mogoče res kakšen nov način merjenja zraka, ali pa mogoče lambda sonde?



Forbes: Tell me about your plans for Alfa Romeo in the U.S.
Look, I’ve been in this business now – in Fiat — for seven years. Every time I talk to somebody they tell me, you know, Alfa is just a wonderful brand. Well, Alfa’s been a money loser inside Fiat now since I’ve been around. They’re exactly the opposite of what we are institutionally; they over-promise and under-deliver every year. And the problem is it’s a great brand with a long history. I’m not sure if it ever really made any money. Even before Fiat ownership I’m not sure it was a great deal. But it always had this sexy – it raced Formula One — I mean it’s got this incredible appeal which goes back, you know, to the time they used to be on the racetrack, and it’s the embodiment of a lot of things which are typically Italian; sportiness, lightweight, and everything else. And what happened is that when Fiat bought them back in the end of ’86 we Fiatized Alfa. Fiat was front-wheel drive; Alfa was rear wheel drive. So now all the Alfas are front-wheel drive. And we put Fiat engines inside the Alfas, and Alfa started losing more and more of its DNA as a car company.
And of all the things that we had to play with since 2004, you know, I kept saying if I can get to 300,000 vehicles I’ll be happy because it’s a re-launch of the brand. We were selling over 100,000 cars in Europe. We have done two significant things since then; we’ve launched the Mito, which is a B segment car. And then we launched the Julietta, the C segment car last year. These are true Alfas, both of them. I mean they have the right engines, the handling, everything else. The real opportunity for us is to try and take this architectural development that we’ve done in the U.S. with the C-segment Dodge sedan coming out next year and using that basic architecture to develop the next evolution of Alfa Romeo and really turn it into a global brand.
We need Chrysler to get that done because we need to share the cost of development of an architecture with them. So without Chrysler, to be honest, Alfa Romeo would have been a nearly impossible task because the cost…would have been prohibitive. So we had to find a partner to do it with. We could have found it over time but the fact that we had access to Chrysler; it benefited Chrysler tremendously because they could also reduce the cost of the investment, but we needed a guy to do it with and Chrysler is the guy. And so the future is pretty good. Strangely enough, I actually think that Alfa will have, at least initially, will have a better success story in the U.S. than it will in Europe. Simply because – I’ll tell you why, because a lot of people know Alfa here in the U.S. because of “The Graduate.” But there’s a history there which I think we need to go revive, and I think we can come back into Europe and play a much stronger hand in Europe once we have an established U.S. base.

Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 Aerodynamica Spider
Prvi superšportnik športnih avtomobilov svoje dobe
Prvi avto s sredinskim motorjem in voznikom na sredini z namenom ohranitve centra gravitacijske sile na sredini (60 let pred Mclarnom F1)
Prvi avto narejen z mislijo na čim manjši zračni upor
Prvi avto z zavorami ki so razporejale zavorno silo
Prvi avto z hidravlično sklopko
Prvi avto z horizontalnim hladilnikom- s tem so lahko dosegaii čim nižjo obliko vozila
Prvi avto z silen bloki
Prvi avto z isto dolžino izpušnih cevi za boljše performance
Prvi avto z unikatnim sistemom prestavljanja (pre-select change)
Prvi avto ki je bil zasnovan tako, da se je izognil problemom pregrevanja sredinskega motorja (nekateri so to reševali še 30 let kasneje)
Šasija vozila je bila zgrajena z namenom doseganja 400kmh!
Še bolj kot avto je fascinantna njegova zgodovina nastanka - nastal je v tajnosti in to v (današnji) hrvaški Rijeki. Vsakega ki ga to zanima,priporočam da si prebere wiki -ker je precej obsežno napisano in zelo zanimivo.
