The technical basis is that of Grande Punto, with some probable changes on both suspensions and engines: it is almost taken for granted the use of a supercharged engine, a 1.4 150 hp one, while the top version could be powered by a new 1.8 JTB direct injection engine, which develops around 220 hp. Alfa 4C Junior is also expected to be equipped with self-locking differential Q2, which has just had its debut in the Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 Mjet. Even proportions will change a bit, to make the car more aggressive and to improve its sports performances. Firstly, the car will be three-door, with a wide track and a lower height from the ground.
When?
Voices about Alfa Romeo compact car production are quite uncertain. Someone says it will arrive together with the new 149, some others talk about a debut in 2009. We think the second hypothesis is probably the more realistic one.
