Alfa has built motors to various formulae over the decades.
To various formulae, yes. But never with inelegant designs and NEVER with
unbalanced dynamics. No engine designer in his right mind considers a
pushrod V-10 layout to be worthwhile. Would Merosi, Jano or Chiti have
designed an engine like this? I think not. And I would think that anyone
with an understanding of Alfa's engine design history would look at this
engine and immediately say that it wasn't from the Cross and Serpent. 'Nuff
said?
So, do the Alfa badges make it an Alfa?
Nope.
