ALFA ROMEO GT
Alfa Romeo kupe. Tri reči od kojih svim automobilistima, sa bar minimumom ukusa, srce počinje brže da kuca. Mit koji ova sintagma predstavlja, poznat je decenijama i u svim svojim inkarnacijama bio je ?svetilište? ljubitelja automobilizma bez obzira kojoj su industriji naklonjeni...
Ipak, kada se izgovore ove tri reči, na pamet padaju prvo modeli iz prošlosti kao što su 1900 SS, Giulieta, Giulia, Alfeta ili 1300 J, koji su svi zaslužni za takvo prepoznavanje. Model GTV koji je i dalje aktuelan kupe u ponudi Alfe, i pored atraktivnog dizajna i najbolje korporacijske tehnike, jednostavno nije popularan u meri u kojoj bi možda i trebao da bude a njegov tržišni deo uzeli su neki drugi modeli. Sa druge strane, možda ovaj automobil i nije mogao biti uspešniji znajući kakva je situacija vladala u Fiatu.
Bez obzira na sve, GTV je već dobro zašao u godine i vreme je za zamenu. Novi kupe Alfe je predstavljen još u Ženevi, dok je serijska verzija imala svoju premijeru na Salonu automobila u Frankfurtu. Ime novog sportiste iz Milana je GT, pomalo jednostavno, ali u duhu tradicije i potpuno u skladu sa onim što ovaj model pruža.
Sa dužinom od 4,48 metara, novi se automobil bazira na platformi modela 156, a razmak osovina je ostao neizmenjenih 2,59 m. Bez obzira na osnovu, GT ima zaista originalnu liniju. Dugački prednji prepust, ponosni amblem na masci hladnjaka i zakošena hauba motora doprinose sportskom izgledu. Atraktivno zaobljena linija krova se blago spušta prema mišićavom zadnjem delu vozila. Uzana zadnja svetla opisuju otvor prtljažnika koji ima zapreminu od 320 litara, što je za svega 40 litara manje od zapremine prtljažnog prostora modela 156 Sportwagon. Ako tome dodamo da se zadnja klupa može asimetrično podeliti i preklopiti, doći ćemo do zaključka da ova Alfa nudi više mogućnosti za prevoz kabastih stvari od jednog prosečnog kupea, za koje je uvek važilo pravilo da su veoma nepraktična vozila. Ovu skladnu karoseriju je dizajnirala kuća Bertone a samo ime garantuje da se radi o skoro umetničkom delu na točkovima.
S obzirom da se na zadnjim sedištima mogu smestiti tri osobe, možemo Alfu GT okarakterisati kao 2+3 kupe, što je već nova automobilska kategorija. Ipak, dve osobe će komforno putovati, dok je za treću tesno, a i to je već mnogo za ovako pedigriran automobil.
Sa druge strane, na prednjim sedištima su prostor i ergonomija zagarantovani. Dizajn komandne table je već poznat a utisku luksuza doprinosi i koža na kojoj se nije štedelo, kao i opcionalne drvene aplikacije. Sportskoj atmosferi doprinosi i dobro pozicioniran upravljač i karakteristično kratka, kožom obložena ručica menjača.Comment

Ispod haube nove Alfe u ponudi će se naći čak četiri agragata, različite snage i zapremine. Svi su već poznati iz opšte ponude i prvi je četvorocilindraš zapremine 1,8 litara sa 140 KS. Posle njega na red dolazi motor od dve litre zapremine, sa oznakom JTS i 165 KS. Veoma interesantno, u ponudu je ubačen i dizel agregat, a reč je o poznatom JTD Multijet motoru od 1,9 litara, koji ima čitavih 150 konjskih snaga.
Ova odluka vodećih ljudi ovog italijanskog proizvođača može se se shvatiti i kao praćenje trenda u automobilskoj industriji, ali i kao svojevrstan znak kapitulacije pred prednostima i manama dizel goriva, i to ne samo fabrike Alfa Romeo čija su odlika oduvek bile srčane benzinske mašine, nego i celog tradicionalnog automobilskog sveta. Međutim, ovo neće biti prvi dizel kupe na tržištu, jer su ove opcije svojim kupcima ponudili i Mercedes, BMW i Peugeot i to baš u modelima koji bi trebali da budu konkurencija novom GT-u. Na samom vrhu palete motora stoji, raskalašni V6 od 3,2 litre zapremine i 240 KS, poznat iz modela GTA.
Snaga će se u svim verzijama prenositi na prednju osovinu preko šestostpenog manuelnog menjača, dok se proslavljeni Selespeed automatski menjač može dobiti samo sa dvolitarskim JTS motorom.
Da bi vozačima posao bio lakši i sigurniji tu su kako ABS, EBD i ESP sistemi tako i šest vazdušnih jastuka u kabini za sigurnost putnika. Sa druge strane, da bi vožnja bila komfornija, Alfa se pobrinula da sastavi bogatu listu dodatne opreme koja uključuje navigacioni sistem, radio-CD-MP3 plejere, klima uređaj sa dve zone dejstva i još mnogo toga.
Konačno, može se reći da će nova Alfa GT, definitivno biti jedna od glavnih automobilskih poslastica 2004 godine. Ne samo zbog izuzetne tehnike, dizajna i usklađenosti celog vozila nego i zbog toga što je novi GT prava Alfa i to u najboljem svetlu. Iako na sebi nema retro uticaja, ovaj model na najbolji način povezuje legendarne pretke sa modernim vremenima na radost svih ljubitelja, a pogotovo zagriženih Alfista.Comment

15.01.2005 One of the star Italian attractions at the Autosport International Show is the Autodelta GT Super, which has proudly taken its place is EVO magazine's 'Road AND Track Gallery'
One of the star Italian attractions at the Autosport International Show this weekend is the new Autodelta GT Super, which has proudly taken its place in EVO magazine's 'Road & Track Gallery'.
This very latest appearance follows hard on the heels of the supercharged 3.2-lire V6-engined car's much anticipated 'world premiere' at the MPH04 Motor Show at Earls Court, London back in mid-November.
The Autosport International event proudly bills itself as the world's leading showcase for all aspects of motorsport, and the vast halls of the National Exhibition Centre are, for these four days bursting, with the cream and cutting edge of modern-day performance engineering.
Into this heady mix, which is embellished with sheer glitz and razzmatazz, comes the new Autodelta GT Super, and in the words of company boss, Jano Djelian, the car is 'more appropriately dressed for the occasion', boasting as it does a new, and much more prominent, boot spoiler. It is a new feature that works extremely well, giving the GT Super's smooth, Bertone-penned curves, a slightly more aggressive edge, that hints at the car's pent-up power increase.
On the spacious stand of EVO magazine, the Autodelta GT Super is in truly excellent company. The Italian beauty sits next to the brand new GBP325,000 V8-engined 'Ascari' supercar, which is making its 'world debut' at this show, while it is flanked on the other side by the Ultima GTR, the extreme track day car, which is also a 'racer for the road'.
Joining this illustrious trio is the ESMotorsport-built, Ferrari-based, 550 LM, a ultra-performance version of this car inspired by the Le Mans GT-class winning, Prodrive-built Ferrari 550 Maranello sportcars.
Based, as the Autodelta GT Super is, on the very successful Alfa Romeo GT, a recent and justifiable winner of the 'world's most beautiful car' award, the name 'Super' hints at the technology that has been applied by Autodelta, namely a specially developed Rotrex supercharger that sucks enough air to provide the 3.2 V6 engine with a total of 320bhp at 6,300 rpm.
To put this into perspective, this is 80bhp more over the standard 240bhp 3.2 V6 and the results in performance are equally as impressive. The Autodelta GT Super does the 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) sprint in 5.4 seconds, shaving the original time by 1.3 seconds.
When fitted with the optional longer 6th gear (not an overdrive), the GT Super is able to reach a top speed of 175 mph (284 km/h). These figures become even more astounding when considering that the performance comes with the leather-clad, dual-zone, air-conditioned, luxury of Alfa Romeo?s true 4-seater, flagship coupe.
This is quite simply a phenomenal car; an Alfa Romeo which comes without Fiat?s ?bean-counters? attached. This is a car created by skilled engineers, steeped in Alfa Romeo tradition, who have no concept of the word 'compromise'.Comment

Autodelta?s attention to engineering excellence is second to none, and this becomes overly apparent when regarding the GT Super. The centrifugal supercharger is space-efficient, running its own electric oil pump and additional oil cooler independent from the engine, with an intercooler.
Choosing to adopt the Rotrex supercharger is the result of two and a half years of durability and reliability testing of the unit in a wide range of Autodelta Alfa Romeo models. In order to match fuelling and ignition timing, the factory ECU has been remapped, and the installation has inbuilt safety features to control boost levels.
Like the Autodelta 156 3.7 GTA AM, and its smaller sister Autodelta 147 3.7 GTA AM, the newcomer has been fitted with a limited slip differential, to rein in the extra power, and sports suspension with coil over dampers. Large Brembo brakes at the front with 330 mm ventilated cross-drilled discs and 4 pot calipers ensure that the braking is up to the additional power increase.
Autodelta?s own styling and manufacturing arm Creativestudio, based in Oxford, is responsible for the distinctive, overt sporty look of the GT Super. The sharp, no-nonsense image of the GT Coupe has been enhanced by new front and rear bumpers, a discreet rear boot spoiler and a redesigned dual exhaust pipe with a touch of retro feel, which contributes to the GT Super?s unique screaming engine sound.
The sense of sheer power is abundant in the exhaust note alone, something however that can unfortunately not be witnessed in the NEC, yet it sounds like no other car. The GT Super simply screams and breathes; a living testament to Alfa Romeo?s epic history in supercharging.
Supercharging and the Alfa Romeo marque have a mythological status in motoring history, which grew after their successful P2 racing car won the Milanese factory their first World Championship title in 1925. Alfa Romeo?s supercharging technology soon trickled down to Alfa Romeo exclusive road-going models, and in the 1930s they offered the world?s fastest production cars. The most famous of these was the sublime 8C 2900 series, a series which also brought Alfa Romeo their most Mille Miglia wins ever.
Now, exactly 80 years after the start of Alfa Romeo's supercharging success, Autodelta have re-engineering the glory days of the 'Compressore' for an exciting new chapter in modern-day Alfa Romeo motoring.
What makes the GT Super truly special, Autodelta believe, is the customers? ability to specify precisely what they want. The complete package costs ?38,925.00, which considering what you get in terms of performance, luxury and exclusivity is good value for money. Autodelta?s GT Super, like all Autodelta models, is strictly customer-built, with its own plaque carrying the serial number.
