The same engine, we know, is at the heart of many advances and could end up in cars from other brands in the VAG group such as Audi, Seat and Skoda, but Alfa Romeo had the air of nostalgia for an operation, when the boxer was the unmistakable soundtrack Alfasud and 33.
Someone has already gone further, imagining a hypothetical 4C coupe with carbon fiber shell (perhaps a bit 'more like that of the Volkswagen Dallara Bluesport than to that ...) and Porsche boxer engine, which according Piech in the hands of VAG to sell a lot of more than the potential of the Alfa Romeo, as ably stated in Geneva in the ongoing "spat" with Marchionne.

Who knows what effect it might do in a few years, open the hood of a Germanic Alfa Romeo now finding the Porsche logo on the end ...
