Alfa Romeo is developing a petrol-powered supercar – report

Alfa Romeo Exploding internal combustion engines, with a twin-turbo V6 said to be in the works.

CAR reports that the car will be previewed as a design study in 2023, with a low-volume production vehicle likely to be made before 2025 if demand arises.

Alfa Romeo says all new vehicles launched from 2025 will be electric, before switching to An EV-only lineup in 2027.

The company’s design director, Alejandro Mesonero-Romanos, previously hinted at an interesting reveal.

“We will surprise you. Probably. At a certain point. He said.

When asked if Alfa Romeo could work on an electric sports car with battery modules stacked vertically behind the driver, Lotus’ upcoming sports car, Mesonero -Romanos denied that.

When asked if Alfa Romeo was working on a gas-powered halo car, the head of design said, “I think you know what that means but I don’t say anything.”

He also notes that Alfa Romeo models will not have a classic design language, but will trigger an emotional or visceral response.

Mesonero-Romanos has yet to stamp its mark on a new Alfa Romeo model, with Tonale designed before he joined the brand.

The brand’s CEO, Jean-Philippe Imparato, previously said he was eager to introduce Alfa Romeo’s halo cars once the brand had proven it could turn a profit.

“I totally have two dreams: 33 Stradale and Dueto,” he said CAR in January 2022.

“If one day, I can say okay, ‘Alfa Romeo is safe’. [Then] Dueto and 33 Stradale are my favorite picks for the future. I want to bring [them] to the market. We can dream.”

I also check the names of those cars with Autocar earlier this year, though he downplayed expectations by saying that any potential sports car work is being done “in parallel” with a primary focus on “creating value, in terms of pricing power.” , on residual value”.

Only once Alfa Romeo returns and proves that it can deliver on the promised products and become a profitable business will Imparato approach Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares to “talk about some cars.” dream”.

2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 engine developed by Ferrari from Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio would be a reasonable choice for a sports car.

It has been tuned to produce up to 402kW of power and 600Nm of torque in the Giulia Quadrifoglio GTAm guise.

Alfa Romeo was set to introduce a successor to its 8C supercar, before the halo plans – plus a revived GTV and a full-size SUV – were scrapped in 2015. 2019 as part of cost-cutting for the brand as the brand recorded a loss while not growing its sales enough.

These models last appeared in Alfa Romeo’s future product plans in 2018.

The second-generation 8C will use a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, a mid-mounted twin-turbo engine and an electrified front axle with a total system output of more than 522kW.

Alfa Romeo claims it will accelerate from 0-100km/h in about three seconds.

The first 8C uses a 4.7-liter V8 engine that produces 331kW of power and 480Nm of torque, giving a 0-100km/h time of 4.2 seconds.
