Alfa Romeo Giulia TZ V1.2

My first mod for AC. Just over a year of occasional work on this car ended up better than I could have hoped for. Before starting this project I didn't know that much about 3D modelling, texturing and importing into the game. But with quite a bit of trial and error and lots of useful help from the modding community I was learning and getting better all the time. It may not be at the level of quality of some other well known modders, but I'm still very proud I was able to get this far.

About the car:
The original TZ was developed together with Autodelta. It featured a 1,570 cc twin cam engine and other mechanical components shared with the Alfa Romeo Giulia and carried a 105 series chassis number, but was a purpose built sports racing car, with a tubular spaceframe chassis, light all-aluminium bodywork, disc brakes and independent suspension. The result was a lightweight coupé of only 660 kilograms (1,452 lb) and top speed of 134 miles per hour (216 km/h). The TZ was built both for street and racing trim, with the latest racing versions producing up to 160 brake horsepower (120 kW). Alfa's twin-spark cylinder head, as also used in the GTA, contributed to the speed of the TZ; the standard Giulia alloy block with wet steel liners was installed at an angle under the hood of the TZ to improve airflow.
