Fiat has not had a very aggressive car for some years. After Abarth's golden age, and good HGT proposals, the Italian manufacturer has not produced any other sport vehicles, while other worldwide maunfacturers has been ready to introduce a lot sport jewels.
But now...music has changed! By the way, we are all waiting for Fiat's answer to all sport drivers: the new big surpise will come from Alfa Romeo.
Structure
The technical basis is that of Grande Punto, with some probable changes on both suspensions and engines: it is almost taken for granted the use of a supercharged engine, a 1.4 150 hp one, while the top version could be powered by a new 1.8 JTB direct injection engine, which develops around 220 hp. Alfa 4C Junior is also expected to be equipped with self-locking differential Q2, which has just had its debut in the Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 Mjet. Even proportions will change a bit, to make the car more aggressive and to improve its sports performances. Firstly, the car will be three-door, with a wide track and a lower height from the ground.
When?
Voices about Alfa Romeo compact car production are quite uncertain. Someone says it will arrive together with the new 149, some others talk about a debut in 2009. We think the second hypothesis is probably the more realistic one.
