Alfa Romeo TZ3 Wows Crowd at Villa D’Este
The Alfa Romeo TZ3 was introduced to the public at the Vista D’Este concours. The crowd agreed that the new TZ was indeed spectacular. With an Alfa 8C Competizione’s V8, the TZ3 continues the somewhat royal bloodline of its 60s predecessors, the TZ2 and the TZ1. The recent evolution of the TZ line sports the same, classic details as the earlier models. Reviewers were quick to notice the near-breadvan features of the TZ3.
Like its two predecessors, the TZ3 is also a legitimate race car. However, this new machine is made with an aluminum body which is stretched over a carbon fiber chassis and a tube frame. As was already indicated, the car isn’t lacking in power at all. Significantly upgraded from its forbears’ engines, the TZ3 performs at its best with nothing less than a V8 engine.

Alfa Romeo’s High performance Giuletta aims for Golf GTI
Fiat is doing an overhaul of its lineup and is planning to roll out new units in the next few years. This includes a high-performance Giuletta and a refaced 500 for the United States this 2010.
The market for the 500 can expect a same skeletal frame but using a modified platform to build on. The redesigned chassis will be shedding of some pounds off from the car and also contribute in improving the cars dynamics. The US 500 will be assembled in their Mexico plants.
The new 500 will be using some technologies used for the development of the new Fiat 500C. The designers are also working on decreasing the cars noise, harshness, and vibration.
The European release of the 500 will not be getting the changes as its US sibling but Fiat will be using the platform for the new Ypsilon under the Lancia brand year and for the new Panda by 2011.
