This is something I just found out yesterday, and Hyperguy didn't know it either so I thought I'd share.
It turns out that our good friend "Alphina" (the dude in this picture (http://www.hyperguy.net/h_gallery/displayimage.php?album=3&pos=60)) from the GTS backstory is named after a car company after all. Since finding out Rati is derived from Maserati (http://www.maserati.com/), I've tried to find out where "Alphina" comes from. Reason I couldn't find anything is becuase we've been spelling it wrong. It's Alpina (http://www.alpina-automobiles.com/en/index.php), like the Alps/Alpines. Turns out they're a German refit company (they don't build their won cars but remodel existing BMWs), keeping with the European automobile theme of V6/GTS.
