The 300BHP one sounds good

wow a turbo on an alfa.... not sure if they have had one in the past but not in my time!!

Nope that'll be the new Saab which shares the scoobs engine and chassis

Previous turbo ALFAs include the 75 turbo & the 155 Q4 (loosley based on the integrale drivetrain)

what would scooby do

remember that old alfa 4x4 system they had with that strange donut centre diff that never worked ???

Just wondering where Alfa are sourcing the system from.

GM have a major stake in the Fiat group and Alfa.

Saab is a GM group car thats going to use Subaru 4X4 running gear.

I'll have to search the net and see what I can find.

OK we all know about the build quality worries and crap dealers but Alfa are putting together an interesting product line up.

September 2003 - 156 GTA gets 4X4, 156 2.0 Ti with 220bhp, 180-200bhp 2.4 5cyl 20v Diesel.

November 2003 - 156 range gets 4X4 option

December 2003 - 156 GTA 4X4 bhp up to 280bhp, GTAm 3.5V6 4X4 with 300bhp.

Also a maybe option of RWD for GTA.

Edited to add...

... If the 2.0Ti is a 2.0litre turbo with 220bhp and it gets 4X4 in November it may be the closest car on sale to a UK Turbo Scoob.
