The base of the 90 degr. was the Lancia Thema V6 engine which was based on the RPV cooperation. Except V90 angle and bore distances there were no common parts with the RPV engine, but was a completely new constructions of the Lancia race department. So it was really an Italian race engine.

Sorry Man, but the 1996 Alfa Engine was not French. In the same interview you say, Sergio Limone says that the technical aspects to respect for the new regulamentation were the angle of the V for V6 engine and the the distance from the centers of the cylindres. So, on the documents were released the Montreal V6, but it has too short distances between cylindres, and thanks to a society in the last years of the 80s, Lancia and Alfa were the same Brand, and the PRV equipped the Lancia Thema 6V and the Lancia Thema Limousine, so it was addicted to have the technician values to can be used as shield... the V6 1996 Alfa engine was in experimentation from 1994, and Nannini tested it after the initial develop of Giorgio Francia...

It was not, but that’s not as important. The base was a Swedo-French developed engine that was turned upside down into a full race engine. The “French” is there just to catch attention.

From Wikipedia about the engine: The PRV was also the basis for the 90° V6 engine used by Alfa Romeo in the 155 V6 Ti in the 1996 DTM/ITC season from Silverstone onwards.The engines in that series required the use of bank separation angle and cylinder bore spacing from a production based engine, and as a 90° V6 has greater room between banks than a 60° V6 for a more optimal induction system, Alfa Romeo used the PRV as a basis as it had been used in the Lancia Thema, a car which shared its platform with the Alfa Romeo 164, as well as the Fiat Croma and Saab 9000. Other sources declare that the 90° V6 engine in 1996 Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Ti is based on a 2.6 L V8 from 1970 Alfa Romeo Montreal with two cylinders removed, as allowed by the rules, however the FIA homologation documentation shows the homologated production engine was a "2850cm³" capacity "V6" engine. The bore spacing of the Montreal engine was too close to be suitable for the 155 V6 Ti in any case. Limone invented the "Montreal V8" story to throw the press off the scent and to satisfy FIAT management who were unhappy that a non-FIAT group developed engine was being used.

Wasn't a french engine. Nothing wrong with french engines but this just wasn't one. If you watch Sergio Limone [the engineer who homologated the engine for the class] by Davide Cironi [it's available with English subtitles and more] he clearly says it was just the same bore spacing and bank angle of the PRV. The whole engine was completely done by Alfa Corse based on those two parameters. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eriTedOetrKXkpc.htmlsi=cT5WjeDi0VY7CF9c

Dear friend, this is incorrect, in the video by Cironi that you are using, LIMONE clarify that the engine only shares the V angle with the PVR and nothing else, moreover, FIAT was going to abandon the DTM so they didn't want ANY new engine development, LIMONE and his team basically went rogue and launched this new engine. Again this is not a PRV, this is a brand new engine made by Pino Aprile that shares the V angle with the PRV.

Wait wait wait.... Sergio Limone in the Davide Cironi's video tells another story. They were in struggle finding an engine in Alfa Romeo's history with the needed dimensions, the rules needed only that, so V angle and the bore spacing to allow the right bore diameter to reach high rpm. Since they were and are in the FIAT galaxy, they had the option of using the PRV dimensions, since FIAT was part of the PSA joint venture. But that's NOT A FRENCH ENGINE. It has only the V angle and bore spacing of the PRV, just for rules needs, but it was completely engineered by Alfa Corse. Don't spread wrong claims, please.

Misleading title, in your opinion the team of engineers who created the engine of the Lancia Delta S4 (700-800 HP), the first car without turbolag, needed to go and get an engine block from somewhere else, if they hadn't been forced by budget reasons and various regulations. Engineer Limoni and Engineer Lombardi are among the protagonists of the Delta S4 Engine and Lombardi is the designer of the Ferrari F1 V12, the engine with the most beautiful song ever, the one on which Senna complimented Lombardi for the incredible acceleration; the same engine that Schumacher wanted to keep instead of the V10

It’s not misleading, they “used” a French engine to beat the rules and by used they meant as a scapegoat to get the design parameters they wanted. Too many people misunderstanding that.

With this car alfa mashed up the DTM. I loved this time, when formula 1 was interesting. didn't watch F1 since 20 years, too boring. Rally and hillclimb are much more entertainment. And Goodwood. Quattro and Walter.... wish that times back.

This engine has only the 90 degrees angle in common with PRV. The other parts were engineered by ex Lancia Martini team. This is NOT a french engine. After that you have to remember that Alfa won DTM with the original Alfa V6 engine with 60 dr angle…

Lies. Alfa Romeo did use their own engine. Just not based on the one found on the production cars

It's funny because the PRV was originally seen as a mediocre, out of balance engine, still showing symptoms of an amputated V8

It's still the holder of speed record on a circuit. Since it was made on a long straight line at LeMans that doesn't exist anymore, it will probably keep this record forever.

The PRV road version was still a mediocre engine compared with the busso. The Alfa V90 degrees had nothing to do with the PRV, they kept only the principal geometries and nothing else according to regulations.

@@barukd sorry but in 12v the busso was providing more or less the same power output as the PRV. The DOHC 24s n/a PRV was 200hp (sadly only used in boring cars), the busso was the same output but with 200cc more displacement, so... Twin turbo intercooled PRVs were in the 400hp figures ^^' (Venturi, extremely rare road legal french sports cars).

@@Damien.D from my understanding that Le Mans record was set by cruising around, then doing one fast lap, then the car was overheated and didn't finish the race. The engine used in the Alfa Romeo 155 DTM in the final years just used the homologation form with 90 degrees and 108 mm printed on to build a proper race engine. No actual PRV engine parts.

I suggest a correction for the title: Alfa Romeo V6 DTM: A 11,800rpm Italian Engine I also suggest uploading a corrected video, with proper information. And i suggest doing proper research before saying shit. The V6 Alfa is a derivate from the V6 Thema from Lancia and have nothing in common with it, just some paper for proper omologation, is like saying that Nutella taste like shit.
