Features

Our philosophy has always been to produce the very best components possible.

Whether the improvements are increased strength, reduced weight or improved geometry, we always use the highest grade raw materials for our Alfaholics-R parts and components, often replacing old fashioned materials with modern equivalents.

Our extensive and ongoing research programme combines modern technology with our heritage knowledge to create improvements in design and innovations in technology. These are installed on our workshop GTA-R 290, track tested at Nurburgring for optimisation and undergo thousands of road miles before sign off.

Suspension

Re-engineered with fully optimised geometry & improved design, our suspension systems deliver the highest level of grip and handling balance, whilst retaining the unique character and feel of a 105 series Alfa Romeo.

Exhaust

A dyno developed exhaust manifold benefiting from decades of experience on the race track to optimise torque and power delivery, paired to a refined 2 silencer system. Silencer design engineered to maximise performance and sound levels both in acceleration and in gentle cruise environment.

Gearbox

From gear ratios, to gear selectors and synchromesh components, we have fully re-engineered the Alfa gearbox to optimise all details; the rev drop between each gear to maximise performance and the quality and feel of the shift.

AXle

Alfa’s famous live axle, completely re-engineered. Featuring an advanced limited slip diff to maximise traction and feel at the limit of traction, titanium axle tubes to minimise weight and optimise tyre camber & toe geometry, billet diff sump for improved oil capacity & cooling.

Titanium front wishbones

Lower wishbones CNC machined from billet titanium featuring spherical bearings for superior accuracy of geometry under high cornering loadings. Upper wishbones fabricated from tubular titanium resulting in a further 6kg weight reduction.

Titanium uprights and hubs

CNC machined billet uprights with modified pick up positions to optimise dynamic geometry and uprated spindle design to eradicate pad “knock back”. Together with titanium wheel hubs and titanium wheel studs and nuts, a considerable saving of 3kg of unsprung and rotational weight.

Aluminium T-bar

Aluminium T-bar features redesigned chassis mount bushes and spherical bearing axle location for improved traction and further weight saving.

Double adjustable aluminium gas dampers

Developed by Alfaholics at the Nurburgring, these aluminium bodied double adjustable dampers provide exceptional body control and ride refinement with separate bump and rebound adjustment for the perfect setup on both road and track.

Titanium rear trailing arms

Significant reduction in unsprung weight and to increase rigidity improving rear axle location and damper control.

Brakes

Billet aerospace grade aluminium calipers. 6 piston front with 300mm vented rotors, 2 piston rear with 267mm solid rotors.

Aluminium dual circuit non-assisted pedal box for maximum pedal feel and adjustable bias front to rear.

Interior

Bespoke leather interior hand crafted to suit owner’s desires. Fully insulated using Dynamat for optimum heat protection and noise damping.

Dashboard

Finished in the finest quality woven Italian leather and Alcantara for unparalleled aesthetics and anti glare properties.

Steering wheel

360mm Momo Prototipo steering wheel. Rhodium plated engraved GTA-R build ID number, custom trimmed leather rim, burgundy baseball feature stitching and heritage horn push.

Leather trimmed ‘Sport Road’ seats with custom weave & stitch detail

Classic design seats with outstanding comfort and support, trimmed in the finest quality Italian leather and woven to evoke the timeless style of the period Alfa “basket weave”.

Carpets
