did someone say sleeper?!?!?

Alfa Romeo 164 Procar > Renault Espace F1. In terms of factory sleepers anyhow. I think that most enthusiasts know about the Espace F1 van. Many, however, don't know about the Alfa. :D

The Alfa Romeo 164 Pro-Car made in 1988 was a 3.5L V10 mid-engined racing car. The Alfa Romeo V10 engine was originally planned to be used for Ligier Formula One cars and produced 620 bhp (462 kW; 629 PS) at 13300 rpm and 39 kg·m (380 N·m; 280 lb·ft) of torque at 9500 rpm.[7] Weighting only 750 kg (1,653 lb) the 164 Pro-Car achieved a top speed of 340 km/h (211 mph) and went quarter of a mile (~400 m) in only 9.7 seconds.[7] It was planned to race in a special racing series (as a support event to Formula One Grands Prix). Alfa was only manufacturer who made a car for this series before it was canceled. Only one chassis with an Alfa Romeo V10 was built by Motor Racing Developments Ltd.,[7] the company behind the Brabham Formula One team, which was owned by Alfa Romeo at the time.
