MultiAir V8 in the works for Alfa Romeo
H-tech new engine set for next generation Italian performance carsAlfa Romeo is secretly working on a high-powered, fuel-sipping V8.
Though details are scarce, sources insist on dampening expectations of a huge-capacity, US-style engine. Instead, the engine should be a relatively small-capacity motor, fitted with the Fiat Group's MultiAir inlet valve management system.
It is being engineered in both naturally aspirated and twin-turbo versions, our sources confirmed.
The first all-Alfa V8 since the Montreal, the engine could be as small as 3.0 litres in capacity -- perfect to fit inside the upcoming 159 replacement, the Giulia.
