This Greek-registered Giulia Super 1. 3 was sourced as a project car back in 2003 to be stored and later rebuilt for both road and track use. In 2016 the following upgrades were conducted at a cost of over 50, 000 euros:
Body
- front rails reinforced for better handling under greater engine output

- Weber SP ported to 48 DCOE carbs
- Facet fuel pumps

- handmade 4 to 1 stainless steel exhaust manifold to stainless steel free flow 70mm exhausts (straight and side made)
Once upgraded the engine performance was tested at a local dynometer and recorded:
226bhp power output at 7. 130rpms and 25, 27 kg torque at 5. 624rpms with side exhaust
215bhp power output at 6. 800rpms and 24, 57 kg torque at 5. 400rpms with straight exhaust
