Italian Car of the Day

This sexy Italian machine is a 1968 Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale. Only 18 of these babies were ever made. When it came out it cost  $17,000 when your average new car cost less than $ 3,000. Now getting your hands on one will cost you well over 4 million dollars. It produces 270 horse power and has a top speed of 260 km/h ( 162 mph ). It weighs just 700 kilograms and can accelerate from 0-60 in 4.1 seconds (a brand new 2011 Porsche 911 Carrera goes from 0-60 in 4.7 seconds). It has a 2.0 litre V8 engine positions in the middle of the car just behind the driver. Theres no back seats and no trunk. So its not the most practical car in the world, but who cares! You dont spend over 3 million dollars on a practical car. And its got bitchin doors! same style of doors as on a Mercedes SLR Mclaren. Only more awesome because there on a car from the 60's! Over all; an absolutely gorgeous and bad ass car.
