SPOTLIGHT ON...

Alfa's Twin Cam: One of the Greatest Engines of All Time!
Open the hood of most Alfa Romeos from the late 50’s to early 90’s 1993 and you will gaze at one of the great and enduring engines of all time. Powering everything from 50’s Giulias to 1993 series 4Alfa's Twin Cam spiders, this twin-cam all-alloy engine is a testament to the genius of its designers, led by Dr. Orazio Satta Puliga. Variants range from 1.3 to 2 lltres and include carbureted, and mechanical and electronic fuel injection versions. This handsome 4 cylinder, with hemispherical combustion chambers and massive sump produced up to 200 hp+ in race configurations. With a wonderful sound and willingness to continue revving long after its contemporaries have given up, it is little wonder that its production spanned 40 years. These high performance engines stir the soul and bring smiles to those able to experience its responsiveness. This alone is reason to possess an Alfa Romeo.
