hehe yes it would be possible get to the level of the One:1  but of course it would be called UNO:1 

The Turbo is capable of 1000hp and its not far from that weight but first I have to win in the lottery ^^'

[ALXege 75]

Before One:1, i know Huayra has it’s fair share of CF, which yours is not far from

Here some news. the CF floor is now finished.   even when the ultra glue of death was wet it was possible to fully stand on the floor. it actually moved less than the steel one.

Now its fully cured.  I didn't think that the original floor would be just 1.5-2mm. I could have made the cf one slightly thinner. But anyway its not just weightreduction its also a gain of stiffnes

 

The actual numbers are

6.5kg stock floor

4.6kg cf floor ( I thought it should be just 1.3kg each, but it seams I made more layers in the 45° angle than I planned to do.

0.3kg Super duper Epoxy glue

 

1.5kg saved ^^' but here we need to add also the seat mountings, wich will go CF of course. this save additional 1kg I think.

 

Ready for the next weight reduction mod

( on some blueprints I saw there is a thick metal under the shifter. This has also found its way to my list also the steel handbrake )

CF floor!!!  Crazy... and I love it!

Does this mean that your car can now legitimately suffer "danger to the manifold", which somehow makes the floorpan fall off - Fast & Furious style?

hehe what a coincidence, I did the installation with a friend and in the brake between cutting and glueing we whatched that movie and laught about the same scene^^  I am pretty shure this will happen ^^' with much carbon fiber sparks flying around

"Carbon fibre sparks"

[blackbini 100]

The beast runs and drives all is comming together

Carbon dash, carbon seat struts

I soldered the gas pedal connector for more stability

At the moment I am building a diffusor.

 

The Quaife Diff arrived, this will be mounted with a solid flywheel and a upgrade clutch.

 

Just a few small things and its ready to hit the road

A Nice shot from driving it hard through the alps of Switzerland

I'd love to see a GTV with the 164 Q4 drive train on.

 

Better use a 156 Q4 type drive train: That is a real permanent 4x4 system sending most of torque to the rear wheels via a TorSen central differential.

 

Ancient 164 Q4 system works like the 4motion system from VW with Haldex couling, only sending torque to the rear wheels when traction at the front is already lost, in other words: when it is already too late. 

[blackbini 100]

no, mid engine rwd is best Physical Traction with the less as possible parts, especially rotating parts.

The less parts, the cheaper when it comes for upgrades Someday driveshafts will be from carbon fiber and alloy in this car

[blackbini 100]

btw. the engine is in

[Hobson284 10]

Wow! Can't wait to see and hear what a mid-engined GTV will be like!

[elm11g 5]

this is going to be insane!! 
 

love it.

[jonalfaspider 107]

Wow you need to get a video of your track days 😍😍😍

[blackbini 100]

the package ist finished and ready to go finally in. will be a lot fun reconnecting all pipes hoses and wires ^^'

[Hobson284 10]

This is just incredible

[blackbini 100]

also incredible much work :S but it will be the ultimate GTV. I even mounted the alternator in front of the engine to get best weight distribution

[jonalfaspider 107]

😱Wow!! 😍😍

Carbon fiber

Do you use front subframe from 166 maybe? 

[Paso 239]

One quick info please, I guess that you must know that for sure!

 

What alternative lightweight fans you recommend for the main front cooler? Is there any straight swap model?

 

Thanks!

I have a big fan from Spal (bought on ebay) which is as high as the cooler. I bought an aluminium cooler for a alfa 155. Perfect fitmet. 

But there is also this solution: https://de.aliexpress.com/item/32970150067.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.17472e0eSpbR7D

should alswo work fine
