Just seen this courtesy of a Top Gear story via Facebook and its pretty much blown my mind  Take the silhouette shell of an Alfa 164 and add a custom chassis with an Alfa V10 F1 engine and you get this     I'm in love with it, its like a 155 DTM car on speed, and there was me thinking the Renault Espace F1 was the only F1 based silhouette car Sorry if you've heard of this Alfa before but I'd never heard of it haha more here: www.topgear.com/uk/photos/this-is-the-alfa-romeo-procar-formula-s-164-2014-05-06 |

My all time favourite car ever. Saw it at the Birmingham Motor Show when I was 9 and was given a flyer which went straight on my bedroom wall. 0-60 in 2.1 sec, top speed 215+ in fact, retrorides.proboards.com/post/1683599/threadHave a video: |

This has always been such an awesome machine - its the complete lack of flashy paint/sponsor decals. How good would it have been if the race series had come to fruition! That top photo is probably from 2010 at the Festival of Speed as that is where it was parked when I saw it there. I think most people were walking past it completely oblivious to what it was.

Lose the rear spoiler and it's the ultimate sleeper. Love it!

Yep, next to a liveried DTM 155 it was positively stealthy!  SDC12173 by dbizzle_, on Flickr  SDC12174 by dbizzle_, on Flickr |

For me it gets extra sleeper points for still having the Twin Spark badging on the back  The videos of it are so weird, you'd never believe that sound is coming out of what looks like a standard 164 with a little wing stuck on haha Was an epic, yet slightly mad idea for a race series though |

That's a brand new on on me but I'm a big fan of exotic powerplants in relatively innocuous bodies. Looks positively sinister in the b&W photo.
