Alfa’s Montreal is one of those cars that seem too rarified, too exotic and graceful to lower itself to the rigours of a track day.<\/p>\n

But our squeamishness is blasted out the window by this hand-made onboard of a Montreal-heavy trackday at the Adria Raceway in the Veneto, Northern Italy.<\/p>\n

It was, after all, powered by an engine derived from that in the beautiful type 33 Stradale, and built for long distance ragging. You can see the composure these Gandini-penned beauties show on the limit, and what short shrift they give modern GTis and other minnows of the world of automotive style.<\/p>\n

Nice sounds and snappy gearbox action, too…<\/p>\n
