Baby Ferrari! Alfa Romeo GTV 916 3.2 V6 ROARS! // Nürburgring

hello comrades! this is the owner of the car. its my daily, my only car and this was my first ever passenger ride in my own car and My first time at a race track, let alone my first nurburgring lap. Misha was the first one to test drive the car properly after the engine swap was done last week in england. Drove it untuned to holland and got it tuned the day before misha drove. After the lap i did 3 laps of my own and that was enough for me. what the video does not convey is the elevation change and the g forces that ive never felt before, which i certainly feelt numerous times as i forgot to breathe plenty of times during the drive. Thank you misha for scaring the shit out of me, i could not sleep until 03:00 that night and drove 36 hours back home to Norway the day after. Core Memory unlocked!

Any Questions you might have feel free to tag me and ask in the comments.

The old girl moves well, one of the best sounding V6 for sure 💪

As an Italian this is not as exotic to me as it is for most of you, but this car in particular looks pristine, it's not overdone and sounds very very good, bravo!!

Damn, mine is the red Subaru just in front when the lap started. My first lap ever on the ring. When Misha flew past me I was honestly scared shitless and that's when the adrenaline really kicked in for me 😂Couldn't stop shaking after that lap so I only ended up doing one. Had a chat with the owner of the car afterwards though, that car is one hell of a story !

Damn, he wasn't lying, that really sounds like a Baby Ferrari F12 v12! Love that.

That sound is why I want an Alfa V6 to stick in my MX5. They sound amazing.

I am actually shocked how well this moves , props to the owner for making such a work of art. The sound is truly unreal.

I drive a 156 2.5 V6 24v (swap to 3l 24v) "every day" and enjoy every ride. For twenty years! It's so good I had the bodywork restored the year before last and I'm hoping for another twenty :)

The 2000's Alfa (147/156/GT/GTV 916) are some of the best FWD ever. Timeless design, great handing and incredible sound from the legendary Busso V6. They deserve much more attention and videos!

finally a Busso engine under the hands of Misha...an amazing video, really enjoyable

I just cleaned and washed my beutiful alfa red Alfa 156. Watching this video have me heart palpitations imagining my poor thing running laps at Nurburing.

Oh the memories..I've had a blue GTV 1.8 twin spark years ago.155 horse power only but on twisty roads it was a real pleasure to drive.

Was never a particular fan of Alfa, but this....this is such a work of art. The design of the car, that engine, that noise....incredible. As time progresses, this will be a certain classic. Gorgeous machine.

This touches my heart. I had the luck to be the proud owner of a 156 SW 2.5. Busso greatness. It never missed a beat.

Busso power 😊 For anyone asking, this engine is called a Busso V6, it's a range of Alfa Romeo engines started in the 70s (by an ingeneer called Guisepe Busso), very well known for it's specific PURE sound, as long with great agility.

Thank you for finally showcasing what that chassis is capable of. The GTV is a superb drive, though it's unfortunate it wasn't rear-wheel drive. Still, it stands as one of the best front-wheel-drive (FWD) chassis ever. Paired with a twin-spark engine boasting around 220bhp, it could outpace many modern FWD counterparts.

Busso sounds amazing. I'm impressed that it moves so well still!

This car is like a time capsule to the 90's, owner also knows his shit. Sounds amazing too!

It's not the fastest, but wow, it sounds amazing and handles beautifully. Looks like a lot of fun💪

I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge Misha Charoudin's exceptional driving skills - you really did a great service in showing that despite being a front wheel drive car, with a good tune, a trick diff and tyres this car can still hang with a lot of modern cars today 👍 👍 And yes... I do myself own a GTV V6😃
