Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo Review

[paulharrison123]

Fantastic cars, so very quick, looks not to everyones taste but with a tiny amount of work to just fly, my mates is running 290bhp proven and its crackers.

I prefer the Alfa GTV for looks though, wish id kept my GTV turbo - that WAS a rare car!

Awesome. One of the lads that works for mercedes f1 has one running silly power. Built the motor himself, epic acceleration from what I've heard.

We put his coupe up against an E63 AMG I borrowed recently... and the coupe pulled away... nuff said! Round silverstone it was a weapon!

WAS a rare car!

indeed.

IIRC None were ever made. Rare.

You dont remeber correctly

The 2.0 V6 Turbo was made - to circumvent spanish tax laws, 10 were imported over here and converted by Belle and coleville.......

here have a read.....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_Romeo_GTV_&_Spider

Mine was Green with beige leather interior, nothing compares to that engine sound.

Sweet, i thought they were all aftermarket kits (autodelta??)

What sort of power did they make? were they all imports?

 

[paulharrison123]

Yes all were imports, like I said 10 were brought here and converted to RHD by belle and coleville, made about 220BHP same torque, untill chipped - then they flew - turbod autodelta ones were 3.0 / 3.2 v6 engines, they were silly fast, but also very very expensive to convert, and petrol was worse than my celica gt4 with a leaky tank!
