However, keep in mind that the BMW 2002 (120HP) was launched at 1968 while the Alfa Romeo 1900 (a coupe) was introduced in 1950 with an 1.9 engine and 90HP. The TI version with larger intake valves had 10 more HP...a total of 100. The SS (Super Sprint) version produced 115HP with 1,955cc (at 1955).
If I am not mistaken...the Alfa 1900 was the first coupe...
The Alfa 1900
I think the BMW 1er 3dr is much better looking than the Coupe 2er. I am not rushing into conclusions... I will wait until further pictures...
