(G) Bravo Sporting?

There are two new Bravo models coming in the next six months. A 2.0 16v MultiJet 165 GT and a 1.8 T-Jet (BHP not yet known) GT

It won't be confirmed in writing until tomorrow, but Fiat today announced to the dealer network that the 2.0 MultiJet 165 is going to be available from September.

Any news on the 1.8T as well?

Quite like the sound of the new engines. Wonder if the diesel has even better economy than the current range.

Is that another reduction in mpg/performance to get it through the emissions check?

Any more news Scrogg?

I mean with each move to Euro whatever regs you see a bit more performance lost. May only be a HP here and there but they all add up. Of course the manufacturers seem to get around it but tech for tech the cleaner cars tend to be less powerful. Mk1 vs Mk2 Tipo. No cat vs cat. 148bhp vs 142.

Won't a 2.0 16v diesel with extra bhp/torque make an abarth version of the Bravo pretty much a no-go? Especially if Lancia are wanting to make a return to the UK and other markets with the new Delta which is a bravo is a different frock.

I mean who will want to spend an extra 4/5 grand on an Abarth/Delta with around 180bhp when for 16k you will be able to get a 165bhp multijet which will be mappable to 200+ and cost less to run.

Cant see the point of `200+ bhp` Bravo`s` or Bravo/Delta chassis vehicles really.. ..being as thet don`t handle too good on the twisty stuff

Do you not get bored of using half facts to put the Bravo down?
Suspension plays the biggest part in how a car handles it's power. Thats why a gp Abarth handles better than a regular GP despite the same chassis.
