This video from Carfection shows Charles Morgan with an Alfa Romeo that has been modified by UK tuning firm Alfaholics. This Giulia Sprint has added fender flares, and a replaced hood, doors and trunk lid with carbon fibre to reduce the weight.

There are more mods though. The engine has been upgraded to produce 240 hp, and there is also added racing suspension, brakes and tires, and roll cage.

The car allegedly can lap the Nurburgring in less than eight minutes.

That's actually very cool. Depending on how far it finished under 8 minutes, it could beat out a few of the newer models' lap times. It's already beat Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe's time of 8:01.

I hope we can see more hints of this design in a future alfa romeo coupe, an 8C successor.

I'm not sure I can see this design making a comeback. The shape and headlights are just too rooted in the past.

Being that big of a time line between it and now, there won't be much to see, just very minor things. No matter what they'll have to make a connection somewhere and that's a fact.

Hmm... I'm thinking that maybe the grille could be made use of in a somewhat similar style to what is happening with the Camaro.

What do you mean similar style? All blacked out?

 

[ShinyAndChrome]

Think he means the pinched look that comes to a point. Or probably just black out the grille and instead of a mesh type design, just replace it with horizontal lines.

I would be in favor of different grille design inserts, Lexus does this as well as Mercedes and it's a great way to change design slightly from a lower trim to a higher trim. But since alfa didn't do that we might just see some aftermarket company come to market with something.
