A Six-Potted History of the Busso

As Italian car enthusiasts, we are blessed with no shortage of incredible engines to wax lyrical about. Aurelio Lampredi’s Fiat twin-cam engine remains the most successful power unit in rallying history with 10 WRC world titles under its belt. Lancia’s ingenious ingegneri actually conjured up the world’s first V6 engine way back in 1950 for the Aurelia, and their peerless back catalogue is stuffed full of similar innovations. But, the engine that awakens most Italophile car passions has to be, undoubtedly, the iconic Alfa Romeo V6.
