For current model Alfa owners looking for more performance, Autodelta, a London based tuning firm has the answer in the form of their J10evo and J11 packages for the GTV/Spider and the 156 sedan.

Editor's Note: Autodelta, based in London, England is not in any way affiliated with Autodelta USA, the US based importer/small volume manufacturer reported on earlier in AlfaCentro.

These complete packages include either a turbocharged 2.0L Twinspark engine which produces 225 bhp or an enlarged V6 engine capable of over 260 bhp. These engine enhancements bump the top speed of both packages to over 150 mph, while improving 0-60 mph acceleration to 5.8 seconds (J11 - 156) and 6.2 seconds (J10evo - GTV/Spider). This increase in power is accompanied by an upgraded braking package, progressive rate sport springs, upgraded anti-roll bars, and enlarged alloy wheels.

The J11 package also includes a very aggressive body kit that makes the 156 look like a DTM racer, while the J10evo package features more restrained body enhancements for the GTV/Spider. Both kits feature bespoke front and rear valances, side sills, and prominent rear spoilers. Autodelta has also recently announced it's hard top for the Spider, available with a custom carrying dolly to make removal and storage much easier.

Leaving no stone unturned, Autodelta also modifies the interior as part of these packages, adding carbon fiber and chrome accents while re-upholstering the rest of the interior in color-coded leather and alcantara.
