Only that they are different classes and the 155 will be gone before you can say Traction Control, ABS, downforce and AWD.

Ah damn you are right of course. That was the Alfa Romeo 75 racing the E30?

Yep, this baby here. Imagine a street/ S1/ Drift/ DTM version of this to go with the Beamer. Number one on my Alfa wishlist by far.
I'm sure the 155 will be great fun to drive, but it's just another lonely car without counterpart on track (for now).

The 75T is Gr.A, which is directo competitor to Gr.A E30. For the DTM E30 they need to get Merc E190 in, for the 155, you'd need MB W202 and Opel Calibra, which were Class 1. The DTM spec E30 and E190 did run in privateer teams but were ofcourse, off the pace.

Kurt Thiim & Michael Kopf were racing an Alfa 75T in the DTM. The Alfa, E30 & 190E would be the perfekt antidote to the GT3's in AC. Throw in a Volvo 240 or Sierra Cosworth for good measure. I'm getting carried away .

 

[Andreas Knöpke]

Yeah, instead of the street SLS I woulda preferred the 190E DTM.

The 4. car will be announced later which will be free:

completely agree
another lonely car (as far as we know)
they should have gone for the other touring car version
although the DTMone looks a tad more badass

 

[Andy_J]

Any idea when we are getting these Alfa's?

Any idea when we are getting these Alfa's?

In the dream DLC pack which will be released alongside V1.1
Probably at least a month away.

 

[Jacco van der Zaag]

Please make the 75. With the 3.0 V6 engine, and as a S1 version, the same car with a 24v 3.0 in it. O god!

I purchased AC during a Steam Sale, for around $20. I have added a ton of free content, but considering all the work Kunos has to put in, I don't mind buying a bit of DLC.

 

[Andreas Knöpke]

The Nords alone will be worth the money that it'll cost - no doubt.

Plus knowing Aris, he'll for sure match the DTM Alfa to the BMW and the DLC's Mercedes, even if only via a "Step" version. It'll fit, don't worry, guys.
