I don't believe it to be true but I have heard that the 2.4 5 Cylinder engine in the Abarth is a bored out Audi engine?

Extremely unlikely. I'd heard it was an engine originally developed by Lancia...

nope its not a audi engine ,, its a fiat desgin engine , ill dig out the info about it

As far as I know it is the same block as in the 20vt. Hence why a few people have the 2.4 conversion on the coupe's.

If I remember correctly the block is shared with many manufacturers. I think Volvo used it in their 2.5 engines.

German rubbish

the Engine was marketed as the shortest 5 cylinder engine,
that's why it's transverse - unlike the Audis

It'a a FIAT product.. so was also used throughout the group,
