The car is a Swedish Alfa 90 2.5 V6 from middle of the 80s.
The car have some modifications, with a 3.3 V6 engine and another trottle body`s and it pulls out around 300 bhp with out turbo or supercharger.
This car is from an era there Alfa`s had sould and some passion (even with bad quality). If you are driving an 328i on the motorway and you see an 75 3.0V6 behind you? You should maybe pull over or start to give your beemer some work!

Alfa 75 3 litre costs Ԛ£500 and would eat a 325i Sport and shit it out again. Solid 190 bhp, standard LSD (and the twinspark) plus they don't rot anything like as bad as an E30 can. All thety need is a decent set of shocks - about an hour to bolt 4 Konis on there.
I drove an Alfa 90 as a new car in 1985. Drove it from Berks back to Alfa GB, 150 bhp 2.5 V6. It was like an Italian E28 and about as stylish (but a lot more interesting). I went to Edgware Road in London along the M4 in convoy with a 3.0E Vauxhall Senator, 130 most of the way.

An Alfa 90! 
I've only ever seen one of them, and i owned it 
the car in question was an E plate (i think!) 2.5 V6, with one former keeper, an old boy local to me. It popped up at an auction about 4 or 5 years ago and as the bids were struggling at Ԛ£100 i thought it would be rude not to take it home with me...
It was silver, with funktastic LCD clocks (which actually fell out under acceleration) green interior lighting and a self adjusting front spoiler that didn't work. Despite it smelling of old men i was very pleased, until i'd owned it a few days that is...
What was a very tidy and together car went downhill rapidly; within a fortnight it wouldn't go into gear properly, the clutch was screwed, the engine got lamer and lamer and the brakes gave up. They actually caught fire trying to slow the thing from 120 mph
Man in motorway services: "mate your wheels are on fire", me "yeh i know" and keep on walking...
I was expecting something like my dad's 75 3.0 which i fell in love with when i was about 15 (he still doesn't know - i think! - about my little 3 a.m blasts in it) but it was in fact a crock of shit, i sold it to a junkie for a huge ten quid profit and then had to see it every day on his garden for months...
E651 TKG, where are you now? Squashed and made into something more useful hopefully! Surely nobody would have saved that heap, not after i spray painted a big fat stripe over the top of it anyway
