Busso V6 | Artprint
Welcome, to a short romantic tale of Alfa's 60º V6 Busso. Designed in the late 60's Alfa was looking to move upmarket and needed a more powerful engine to take over from their tried and tested twin can four cylinder. Giuseppe Busso set about developing a brand new V6 engine to power Alfa into the premium market. Although there were some high hopes, no one expected the finished product to be so advanced! Initially available as a 12v SOHC engine and later 24v DOHC, the power band and sound were unparalleled, Evo magazine wrote of its sound as "the original Alfa Romeo V6 was the most glorious-sounding six-cylinder road engine ever," in 2011. During its reign the Busso powered eye-watering icons such as the Alfetta GTV6, the SZ and lastly the GTA's in its largest 3.2L displacement.
