It must be aftermarket mods, the only coupes with Brembo brakes are 20v turbos.....

Well the 1.8 version does exist, Recaro's were an option and the Last Edition version (special 1.8 version) did have the bodykit as well. But it never had the 6spd box, push start button and didn't have de plus alloys either. It certainly didn't have a speedo up to 220km/h (no coupe ever did).

The 1.8 version did not come to the UK, but was available in most other markets. The engine was also used on the Barchetta and is a 4 cylinder version of the modular engine used in 5 cylinder form on 20 valve variants of the Coupe.
16VT and X1/9 1500
We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

On the EPER and in the workshop manual there are references to some unusual late models made for the far east market only.
It is possible this car could have been made but I guess that only someoene in Italy would ever know.

Well it is Italian, so you never know what weird versions Fiat made with the last spare parts they had I've never heard of a version like this though, certainly wasn't a normal production coupe. I'm also not sure if the 6spd box will fit the 1.8 engine though?

Like Peter said earlier, the 20v model and the late 1.8 were from the fiat MODULAR range so the gearbox should fit. This should mean that the 2.4 TD (Also part of the same engine family) should fit too Hmm a 5 cyl TDi Coupé

I had an X reg UK VIS that had the plus Recaro interior from new so I wouldn't rule out it being a factory car.
If all else fails read the instructions

Because they're in the Middle East and there's not many to choose from?
Following on from Barmybob's point which car would be the better host for a 5 cylinder diesel conversion? An NA 20V or 20VT?
