66 or 67 Alfa Romeo GTV. One of the best cars I ever owned.

Was that the aluminum body model?

And what is the battery life towing the weight?

Based on the 30 second "scientific" test it didn't drop much charge for that short tow. But, IIRC, drawing large amounts of power from batteries in a short amount of time is hard on them and shortens the overall life. So maybe not the best choice for daily hard labor.

Other than that, who can tow the most don't mean shit when you try to take that 3-4 ton curb weight monster to the hunting lease in wet red clay.

Beautiful car! Always loved those red-headed Italians…

I know some EVs, especially plug in hybrids like my wife’s car, integrate the electric motor into the drivetrain (usually replace the flywheel with an integrated generator/starter/motor), but yeah, think most pure EVs use some flavor of linear direct drive.

I’m no expert though, so could be way off base here…and too busy to research in-depth right now.

edit: pic thread rules, the wife’s hybrid:

Was that the aluminum body model?

I never heard of an aluminum body model in the regular cars. A few had magnesium transmission cases to save a few pounds. Some of the slightly earlier Giulia spider models has slipper skirt pistons, to reduce rotating weight. I owned:
67 GTV
66 Giulia Spider with 1600 cc engine and disc brakes. Great year for that model.
69 GTV
71 Berlina

I had heard of some factory aluminum body Giulias, maybe I misread and it was only some panels or a race series car.

That's why you hold their nose and make them show unloaded & clear first.

Now that you mention it, this does sound familiar. My days as an Alfa mechanic were long ago, so a few things have slipped my mind. Alfa did make a lot of variations over the years, so it is very possible.

Don't fucking care. I still don't want one.

Can i see where the 10,296 lb-ft spec was tested?


R

I just copied and pasted from Tesla's spec page.

That's nice I guess.
Can you feel the road texture through the steering wheel? Does the chassis communicate through the seat and floor?

Well, it's a truck. With fly by wire steering. So I guess it's not what you're looking for in a sports car.

 

[Jefe's Dope]

And what is the battery life towing the weight?

He discusses the battery about midway through this review.

Is that like a Hellcat, but diesel?
