The car was supposedly a Belgian Luigi Racing prepared car with a promised 280 bhp by early 1987. Actual measures suggested that the rating was closer to 220 bhp, but by the end of the season their own programme had it up to 320 bhp.
In the Italian series the 75 TE was quoted at 400 bhp by 1990, but running to altered Group A regulations - one of the major differences from proper Group A was the size of the intercooler.

Werent there 2 Bond Alfa 75's? The one that crashed in Mr Cesario's hands at Bathurst 1987 was seriously donald ducked, and a 75 appeared for Mr Bond at later events that year...
Mr Beninca was on the engine tweaking mode by then wasnt he? Difficult without a fully programmable ECU (MoTeC was a couple of years away at that point...) to unleash the beast of course, intercooler issues not withstanding...
