A V8?

 

Oh and anyone remember this from a while back

I wonder what happened to it? I'd would have been interested in this ... though I don't think finances would have stretched that far!

oooh... *drool*

 

A 159 GTA with a V8 would be so insane, especially if it's only FWD like the previous ones! XD

It must be RWD if it has a V8.. What's the point putting it on FWD?

[YeOldeTDUMan]

It could be RWD as I think there was a Q4 (4WD) variant, so it would be 'relatively' simple to change the drivetrain.

 

However FWD to RWD conversions have been done before ... Rover/MG 75 was FWD from what I remember and then they put a Mustang(?) V8 in it and made it RWD as a high performance variant!

I do like the GTA Alfa they are very nice cars will be interesting to see what they do with the next one. I've thought about getting one a few times but then thought of the reliability issues.

Yes they did and they sound the nuts, heard one on the loudest exhuast compatition at MGfest. I think there was only a limited run of them.

OH YEAH a 159 GTA :D.

 

SWEEET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That would be awesome, it would blow the BMW M3 out of the water by

looks alone :D.

 

Although that isn't hard because BMW couldn't make a sexy car even if their life depended on it lol :D.
