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! Car Specs: Alfa Romeo GTV 916 (1993-2004) 1998 model Modified Fiat Tipo 2 chassis same as the brother (Fiat Coupe) 2,540 mm wheel base. 1390kg 3.2 V6 24V engine swap from the 156 GTA Light Weight GTA flywheel Quaife LSD GTA Cams Squadra Tuning 270hp at the crank with new 7350 rpm redline BMC CDA airbox Equal Length Downpipes 1 of 1 Titanium Wizard Catback Exhaust OverRacing Titanium strut brace 30% short throw shifter 26mm alfaholics anti rollbars front and rear Steering ratio: 2.2 Turns Lock to Lock 4 Piston front Caliper from the GTA/Evo/WRX Bigger master cylinder 23.9 Braided brakelines PFC Z rated front pads (i thought it was 11 as its called 1001.11) and Yellowstuff rear. this was why the pads did not hold up.

Its been driven 2 seasons in the snow -20degrees c at the most. with the new body kit its too low so its now reserved only for the summer. 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!

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.

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.

14:20 Clutch Pedal: "Got em"

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

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

That's how an Alfa should be driven, Congrats Misha, Alfisti gonna love this, you rocked the Busso V6. Simply amazing driving skills. 👏 And always remember, historically, Alfa is actually the mother of Ferrari.

As an owner of a GT 3.2 V6, I can attest that the noise is addictive. I was at my performance garage colleagues as soon as I bought the car to have the exhaust upgraded and the note is incredible. Absolutely crucial to upgrade the diff to a strong limited-slip set-up in any Alfa V6 of the last 25 or so years and stick to the time frames with cam-belts every 6-7 years. I drive mine whenever I don't need to put the kid in the car and it brings a smile to my face every time.

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.

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

This car brings back great memories! My dad used to have one of these when I was a kid. My sister and I loved being driven around in it, despite having to squeeze into the ridiculously small back seats. It sure was the coolest car in the entire neighbourhood!

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.

An Alfa on Micha's channel always makes my day ❤🍀

Alfa's drive with so much emotion, lovely stuff

I have the 3.2 swapped in a 156 with the 2.5 gearbox, the gtv needs the 2.5 gearbox ratios, 3.2 with short gearbox is insane, 3.0 ratios from CF2 GTV are the longest I really love the fpel sound on, should make one for mine, sound like a baby colombo v12❤

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.

FINALLY! 🏁 Thank you Misha, I've been waiting for some "Arese Violin" on your channel for quite a while now, so this feels like a Christmas Present to me 😍🎄 I have an older Version of the engine (2.5 Liter 12 valve) in my GTV6 (which is getting more and more track goodies every season) and maybe someday you want to try out the old Alfa-Transaxle too 👏🍀❤

THAT GODDAM SOUND THO 😍

That’s a few times I’ve watched it, although this time I paid more attention to misha and owner. Misha, you were happy in this. Not a fast car but emotional and the owners face after the jump when you dropped down a gear. Pure pride for his car. That’s what we all strive to achieve from our cars

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

I love that Busso V6 sounds amazing and have great power to back it up, surprisingly compact too!

I remember this Alfa Romeo when I was a kid, they really looked like a Ferrari to us children

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😃

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.

I really like the look and also the sound of this Alfa GTV. Compared to all the newer cars a really unique (front lights and everything) and beautiful car in my opinion. Thanks to the owner and you (Misha) for this video !!!!

What an engine bay 😍

..."the clutch pedal stays on the floor,it doesnt go up"... I know this feeling - the same with my 166

Its actually built on a shortened Type 4 chassis, shared with the 164, and shares its indicator stalks with the bigger car .... that track is what makes it so great for cornering. I've got one of the very last Busso's - a 2005 RHD 2.5 V6 24 Valve in a manual 156.

Very nice (tuned) car, and very original/unique! Love it! Owner seems like a smart and calm person, happy driving to you!

That sound is just so unreal AWESOME

Busso v6 never fails to impress. This car in 98 was a Rocket still beating most of the modern cars

Alfa motors from Arese, one love! One of the best looking and sounding V6 of all times. Reliqium of the golden motorsport times of Alfa and Lancia.

Holy!😮 That sounds better than most of the old school Ferraris and certainly better than new ones, what a gem! 😃

had a 164 V6 12V and a 164 V6 24V Q4 back then. Loved both of them. Glad to see, that there is someone putting so much love in an Alfa. As he said, there are absolutly no parts out of the shelf. This GTV is crazy! More underrated, almost forgotten cars please!

The look on his face! You can tell that he's having second thoughts on some of the faster parts of the lap. That was a lot of fun seeing him plastered in his seat with that look on his face.

I have the 2l v6 turbo version of this car. I totally enjoyed myself. Thanks for keeping the legend alive my friend. Great car and of course great driving. Keep loving in and taking care of it and she will never let you down.

Great sounding engine. Looked like you both really enjoyed that lap.

What a cool owner! It is so nice when people love their cars so much, they know all the stories on development, production and whatever else. It may be not the quickest vehicle, but definitely a lovely car to spot anywhere and capable rising eyebrows for any petrolhead.

You listened to me and others hounding for start up clips!!❤sounds effing amazing man what a nice car this is props to the owner

So great to see someone putting some time and attention into an old Alfa, AND clearly with the intention of actually using it!

The emotion, tires squealing, beautiful engine sounds- the whole package. Really hit a chord in me.

Jeremy Clarkson citation: " every man should own an Alfa in his life" I'm so agree! If the best sounding Alfa v6 for me is the 2.5l, this one sound better than almost all 6cylinders engine on earth Love it ❤

The car sounds absolutely incredible. I swear if you'd put me next to a 90/80's Ferrari I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a V6 and a V12. I think this might be the best sounding car of the year Misha ever drove, if not the best sounding car ive seen on the channel.

that custom exhaust... money well spent, great to see such love from the owner

Absolutely stunning sound

V6 busso sounds insane

the Alfa Romeo GTV 916 3.2 V6 is celebrated for its distinctive engine roar, which is a testament to its Italian heritage, engineering prowess, and sporting pedigree. Whether cruising through city streets or carving through winding mountain roads, the GTV's captivating engine sound is sure to leave a lasting impression on drivers and enthusiasts alike

Busso and wizard single back box sounds awesome on these. As front end heavy as they are, with the Q2 diff out the 147gta, still very much point and squirt!

great car, great driver, great owner - one of the best videos -love it

People tease Alfa for being unreliable but this car put in a solid lap without a problem which is a lot better than some of these modded cars lately which throw faults and limp modes. Beautiful machine.

What a great sounding engine! I got goosebumps on that first acceleration and was smiling all throughout the lap. Thanks for making this video and thanks to the owner for bringing his car for you to drive.

V6 Busso at its finest within one of the most beautiful Alfa in my opinion… pure poetry! Thanks Misha to let us enjoy the sound of the 3.2 V6 24V very rare and precious experience indeed

misha slowly falling in love with alfa's. This brand is something else

Forza Alfa!!!Still waiting for the red veloce....

You're a brave man. I had a GTV V6 for a few years and loved it. Proteo Red with tan interior.

V6 Busso called also "The violin of Arese" .... one of the best V6 in the history !!!

This is one of the car sounds that I would always describe as 'Audio Gold' 😵🔥

Busso engine...the Violin of Arese. It's a masterpiece, the best sounding V6 and the engine bay of this beauty is a worthy place for it. Thanks for the lap, congrats for the car!

Wow, you were absolutely flying. Amazing sounding car. I used to a 2.0 Twin Spark (red with tan leather, 17" teledials) which sounded nice, but nothing compares to the Busso engine. Thanks for sharing.

Omg this sound… around 6000 like a v12 ferrari. Amazing❤

Ahh the busso noices.. am I in heaven?!

JUST PURE EXOTIC SOUNDING V6🎯🎯🎯👌🏾‼️

I was scared shitless too mate, I kept thinking how I'd feel watching my car get thrashed like never before. 🤣🤣 That was really edge of my seat stuff. Excellent 👍

Nice driving skills. You definitely can see he's not going over the top in max speed, but he knows what he's doing while knowing the limits of the car.

Why anyone would want an electric car when you can have the sound of a busso engine in your ears ❤

That V6 sound is absolutely Amazing! Lovely Car.

what a sound!! An Italian orchestra is performing bravely under the bonnet!

Absolute masterpiece of a car. The 147/156/GT also had passive rear steering which is fun - if you go slow the car doesn’t really corner. If you go fast it does so awesomely. Love to see another Alfa video.

I love the Busso! It is torqy from 1000 rpm, pulls like a locomotive, and them really comes to life at 4000 and pulls like crazy to redline 😍 Geez I miss mine when I see vids like this! And the 916 GTV is very cool! Excellent car & video!

Hell of a sound for a 6. Way better than most v6 I've heard

Congratulations for this targeted and personalized tuning of this 1990s Alfa Romeo, powered by the enhanced V6 3.2 24 valves. Furthermore, looking at the video, I give other compliments to the guy who drives the car at the Nürburgring. He uses the pedals with a lot of practice and simplicity, especially when performing the toe maneuver heel while driving. He drives decisively, carefully and very cleanly on the track, especially in high-speed corners and in overtaking carried out near bends and in the presence of other cars. The thing I would like to know would be to know the changes made to the car, such as the set-up, and the upgrades made to the engine, like the type of supercharging adopted and everything else. Thank you

Drove once over 20 years ago the V6 turbo but tuned. Full throttle at 50 km/h in 3rd gear wheels spinnig. What a beast of a car.

I really enjoyed watching misha drive this car . I believe it will give you more enjoyment than an R8 or a gt3 rs

That was a great sounding drive around the track. Had me pushing for the brake pedal, and I'm sitting on my couch. 😂✌️

This enginge sound is so comforting. It felt good just watching imagine driving it.

Misha's genuine happiness made me smile from ear to ear.

Now that is an Italian tuneup!

Beautiful and fast car, coherent and easy, with beautiful sound. I had one, it was and still is one of the best FWD coupe in the market. Nice video.

It’s nice to see that he is being gentle to the clutch and gearbox. Bravo! 👏

Love the exhaust note! Thank you for sharing this 1980's gem.

This was great! Love the end of the year uploads! 👊🏻

I rarely comment but this was epic! Love for the busso engine and setup in general!

Misha's driving, the balance and handling of the chassis, and of course: that sound. What an epic video. And what a car.

Misha no words for you buddy,one of the best divers Ive seen! But the owner fill my heart,he was laughing like a child with so natural emotions! Max respect to all three of you!!!

The bloody sound, just insane!!!! So sweet and musical. I think the clutch …maybe it has the clutch damper found in the 164QV causing it to sticking or maybe the clutch slave is bad. And the gearbox maybe the stock GTV, good for cruising but probably needs the 156 V6 gearbox.

That engine looks beautiful 👌

It seems, that Misha has had an special enthusastic day 😄. The owner seems to be overwhelmed. Thanks, best regards, Frank

That was a dramatic lap! Very exciting to watch and listen-to. Fantastic.

It's amazing, it sounds like a 296 GTB!

I love it!!! The noise is one of the best to my ears. The handling looked brilliant, super agile ❤❤ Bravo

that sound!! amazing - looks like the front end had quite a lot of grip! super nice

What a gorgeous car. Everything is beautifully done. The tuning and restoration is impressive. Aesthetically it belongs in a museum, emotionally it belongs on a track! 😁 Almost unbelievable that it's daily driven (but at least it's enjoyed to it's fullest👍) It sounds awesome and the busso engine is one of the best looking engines of all times with the chrome intake pipes etc. Crazy fast drive too when comparing it to the other cars on track. Awesome to see the owner being completely flabbergasted by Misha's skills😂 This car or it's successor the GT are cars I'd love to own. For sure this was one of Misha's best video's, I really enjoyed this one.
