  | CAR: Alfa Romeo 159 GTA?   Secret new car? Doesn’t look like Alfa’s doing much to cover it up. It may look like the victim of a boy-racer driveby, but beneath this Alfa 159’s butchered bodywork sits the underpinnings of the next generation GTA performance flagship. The hallowed Gran Turismo Alleggerita badge was first seen in 1974, when the 1600 Giulia Sprint GTA entered the gruelling Targa Florio in Sicily. Back then the GTA was all about achieving giant-slaying performance through weight-saving. This time the emphasis is purely on power. Our sources claim that beneath that sculpted bonnet sits a tweaked version of Alfa’s new 3.5-litre, direct injection V6 engine that’s expected to pump out at least 350bhp. Expect it to comfortably beat the outgoing 156 GTA’s performance figures, cracking 60mph in six seconds dead, pushing up to 165mph flat out and spitting a wailing exhaust note form those four tailpipes.

| Re: CAR: Alfa Romeo 159 GTA? i think the overdid it with the GTA model, but i am 100% sure that this car will kick-arse. It has the beauty of an Alfa 159 and a good enough engine! |

| Re: CAR: Alfa Romeo 159 GTA? Looks great and now that I look at it, I think it looks very similar to the new Lancer. I hope its not FWD. At 350bhp 99% sure it's not. |
