    Question What Engine

    So looking into the future, lets just say all the Alfa V6 Engines had gone (I know it will be a long time yet) what do people think would be a new source of power plant? As engine cc reduces and power increases, look at the new 1.4's giving out 185 stock (Audi A1) what would be tempting???

    WOW, it would be hard to imagine a world without Alfa V6's. :-] I hadn't really given it much thought, but I would guess any modern FWD transverse engine setup would work, probably the best one has yet to be offered.

    For me it needs to be a V6 - the sound is a huge part of the experience.

    According to the man on the "How to build .... A Supercar" show, as much as 50% of the experience is the sound.

    This doesn't invalidate the original point though. The new Alfas still have V6's, just not derivatives of the original one used in the kits. There are always options.
