The Italian firm has just announced the development of a new four-cylinder turbo engine developing up to 300 hp.

Alfa Romeo has just announced the development of a new four-cylinder engine. Announced with a displacement of 1.8 liters, it is equipped with direct injection and a turbo "high efficiency". Made entirely of aluminum, it is supposed to be lighter, quieter and generate less vibration than current engines.

Few other details were provided. We just know that this petrol unit produces 300 horsepower in its most powerful configuration, and the good satisfies the Euro 6 standard. It is also designed to be installed under the hood of a car as well as cross and longitudinal position.


Engine of 4C?

This engine will be produced at the beginning of 2012 the Italian company Fiat Pratola Serra. Given its characteristics and production date, this block could equip the sports marketing 4C which was announced the same year.

In addition, Harald Wester, owner of Alfa Romeo and Maserati, has announced that the new engine was the first step in a series intended to revive the brand's roots as a manufacturer of premium sports and Italian cars.

Alfa Romeo End of life for 159



Final end of the road for the beautiful Alfa Romeo 159 (a few months after the right-hand drive versions), which leaves the market discreetly and will disappear in the next day of production lines of the plant in Pomigliano of Arco leave room for the new Panda. Alfa Romeo is also known that some stocks of 159 sedan and the 159 SW with the 2.0 L engine JTDM 136 in standard finish (4 colors and 2 interior) will still be offered to customers.

After six years of the 159 retired career thus leave room for... nothing if the void in Alfa Romeo range which not now includes two models (MiTo and Giulietta) before the arrival of a hypothetical Giulia continually pushed for reasons more or less valuable or ridiculous (the last being the problems of dimensions for the American market)

A beautiful car, and generally successful at the competition should have done a great career if people marketers of Alfa and Fiat Group's financial notably did not want to play the "Audi pricing" when it is on the market.

Pity! A beautiful Italian that will cross with pleasure on the road and which is found in occasion and in a few years in collection. Arrivederci 159!
