With less than 24 hour hours left to
go before the '2005 European Tour' departs from the London
base of Europe's foremost Alfa Romeo tuner, Autodelta, to
start an epic mad dash across Europe to the 'My Car' show in
Rimini, Autodelta have revealed the mystery car fourth car
in
the convoy, will be a Maserati GranSport. Italiaspeed,
along with Auto Italia magazine, will join the tour.
A brand-new GranSport
model will join their bespoke creations, the Autodelta 147 GTA AM 3.7, 147 GTA
AM 3.7 Super and GT Super on a race across Europe, which
will take us through France, Belgium and Germany, over the
awesome climbs of the Alps, including the famous hairpins of
the Stelvio Pass, descending to sweep along the shores of
glittering Lake Garda, picking up the legendary roads of the
Mille Miglia, through Modena before Rimini draws into sight.
Why a Maserati GranSport? "It
just seemed the right decision to make when we drew up the
line-up of cars for the trip," explains Autodelta boss Jano
Djelalian. "We wanted to focus tightly, so only four cars
were chosen. The new 320bhp GT Super of course would be the
highlight, we have pushed our 147 GTA AM theme even further
with the new 400bhp supercharged example so we would have
something unseen before that we could proudly present in
Italy, while the 'standard' 328bhp 147 GTA AM 3.7 was a
must.
"Finally, to swiftly commemorate the tie-up between Alfa
Romeo and Maserati in the new Fiat Auto Division we
also decided to take along the GranSport. |
