Autodelta announces its “European Tour”
Autodelta – the UK based Alfa tuning specialist behind the supercharged Alfa GT and Alfa 156 – has announced a tour of Europe in September culminating in the launch of a new model in Monte Carlo. Here is the information we got from Autodelta on the tour –
Autodelta are proud to announce the 'Autodelta European Tour 2006' which will take place from 15th - 21st September, a journey through 7 European Countries that will culminate in Monte Carlo and the launch of a very special and exclusive new Autodelta model. This year in fact marks the second running of this very special event. Last year’s inaugural Tour saw three bespoke Autodelta cars and an example of the then-new Maserati GranSport travelling on a route that took them from the firm’s London headquarters to Rimini in Italy, where Autodelta’s GT Super was presented at the ‘My Special Car Show’, Italy’s leading custom and tuning show.
The route
London – Holland – Germany – Switzerland – Monaco
The route this year will take the Tour participants from London to Holland for a weekend at 'Spettacolo Sportivo' where the cars will be in action on the Zandvoort race track, before heading southwards to Monaco via overnight stops and events in Germany and Switzerland.
The Tour will culminate in Monte Carlo where the participants will stay at the world-renowned Metropole Hotel on Casino Square – a venue which is famous for its association with the Monaco Grand Prix. This will be the venue for the official launch to the media of the brand-new bespoke Autodelta model on 20th September, in the presence of the Tour participants.
“Last year’s first Tour went so well that the decision to hold another one in 2006 was made long before we even got back to London,” says Autodelta’s Jano Djelalian. “Also this year, we will launch the most exciting new model to date in our 20-year-history, a car that will demand respect and a very prestigious launch. We therefore decided to present it in the luxurious setting of Monte Carlo at Casino Square, and tying this occasion in with the 2006 Tour seemed completely logical.”
“This year’s event will be with a difference, though, as Autodelta are inviting 20 additional cars to take part. "After last year’s Tour, we had a number of enquiries from customers who wanted to join the next one,” adds Jano. “We thus decided to create 20 additional places for cars to join the official Autodelta representation and we are pretty excited that Alfisti will be taking part. We look forward to the participants joining us in Monte Carlo and taking part in the launch of an Autodelta model.”
