That’s just Autocar inventing things in Photoshop again. I wouldn’t get excited until Fiat release images of the actual design.

I think one of the unique selling points of 'our' Coupes' is the bespoke engine in the 20VT (not wanting to offend 16V owners!) It'll be a long time until Fiat do that again.....

Heh. Interested parties are invited to consider Honest John's review of the coupe: http://classics.honestjohn.co.uk/reviews/fiat/coupe/It was arguably the fastest front-wheel drive car on the market... but in reality, the naturally aspirated models were the better all-rounder.

I did own a red 96 Coupe 16V (as well as my two present year 2000 20VT's) and this car was the Cinderella of the coupe line up. Obviously not as fast as the Turbo's it just had a rawer feel to the turbo's. I preferred its exhaust note rasp rather than the heavier growl from the turbo's and it did steer better. Also the black instrument dials looked so much classier than the Turbo's white background.
But not many 16v's were cared for very well like the Turbo's so very few good ones still survive today. Always say I should have kept that one and spent the money it needed to get it perfect.

Most 20vt's have black instruments. Only the plus and late 20vt6 cars have the white dials. I agree, though - black looks better

But in the MultiAir Turbo, the boost comes on at such a low rpm that it's hard to tell you have a turbo, apart from the lag when changing gear too early. And it's not huge power either at 140 bhp, quite a different thing from driving a Coupe 20vt.

Certainly a visually better coupe conversion outcome than say the Z4?
