Autodelta GT Super | Inspiration < Back More > As a result of the car's brilliant engineering, the P2 delivered 140 bhp @ 5,500 rpm, which together with great reliability, resulted in tremendous racing success. In virtually every race held alongside the Bugatti Type 35, which was also introduced in 1924, the Alfa Romeo P2 prevailed. This success provided Alfa Romeo with their first World Championship in 1925, helped by the fantastic efforts of gentleman-racer Count Brilli-Peri. From that period forward (until 1972), Alfa Romeo enshrouded their logo with a silver laurel wreath. Supercharging became the trademark of Vittorio Jano's engineering at Alfa Romeo, and resulted in the most spectacular Alfa Romeo's of the period. Now, exactly 80 years after the start of Alfa Romeo's supercharging success, Autodelta are re-engineering the glory days of the 'Compressore' for an exciting new chapter in modern-day Alfa Romeo motoring. . . |
