Default Alfa to take on Porchse .......
From www.autoexpress.co.uk



[QUOTE]

Under the bonnet is a Maserati-sourced 4.2-litre V8, turbocharged to deliver more than 400bhp. The power is channelled to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox, and is capable of propelling the two-seater to a top speed of over 185mph. The sprint from 0-60mph takes only 4.5 seconds.

They seem to have trouble in the US market. I hope we see Alfa rise again!
