Each clip is available in Windows Media or QuickTime format. The QuickTime version will be much closer to the quality of the original clip, but you will need QuickTime Player installed on your PC. You can download the latest version of either player by clicking the buttons on the left of this window.

You can play the Windows or Quicktime version by clicking the appropriate button beneath each thumbnail. We recommend Windows Media for low speed internet users and QuickTime for ISDN/Broadband users. Use the control bar within the player to slow down or freeze the action. If you play the Quicktime version, click your browser's 'back' button to return to this page.

Alfa Romeo 156 GTA Acceleration Test

This is a short in-car clip of an acceleration test, using a simplified display showing elapsed time, speed and g-forces. The controls within the player allow the viewer to freeze the action or play it forward and back at any speed. This is very useful in determining what effect wheelspin, gearchanges, conditions etc. have on performance figures.

Typical applications: Vehicle testing, magazine reviews
