Yes, you heard right, this sexy little hatch isn’t filling up with gas in Madrid or Paris, as it’s actually been spotted by our photographers near Detroit, all the way across the pond, where it shouldn’t be until next year. The test engineers probably tried to disguised it with black paints, and while we know what car this is, we don’t know what’s under the hood.
Since diesels are unlikely to be the engines used for Alfa Romeo’s return to the US, we have to look at the gasoline range. In Europe, this starts with a 1.4-liter 120 hp, but we can forget about that. This only leaves the 170 hp version as the likely candidate. There’s also a 1.750-liter turbo with 235 in the hot QV version of the car. This would allow Alfa to put its best foot forward when it’s reintroduced in the US next year.
Fiat Group CEO Sergio Marchionne has made it clear that Alfa will be built in the US and exported back to Europe. So they might introduce the two Tigershark units from the Dordge Dart.
