Need to identify a car

[Fargus]

On another forum I use, the question was raised Whats Got 3.2 Litres, 8 Cylinders, 225 BHP? The op has said it is on his drive and I'm disappointed with myself but I can not figure out what it is. Oh and it is Italian, That is all I know, guessing at an older car.

Any ideas?

ETA - Title should read, Need help to identify a car.

Lancia Thema 8.32? Eight cylinders, 3.2 litres and around 225 hp depending on which figures you believe.

Maserati BiTurbo?

Complete guess - Lancia Thema?

Ferrari 328 GTB?

270bhp 'officially' though

Could be, its shows 250 bhp via google, but google could be wrong.

the 2.8 is a 225 bhp.

If I do find the answer I will let you know.

Wikipedia says 215 or 205 variable Italian bhp.

May have been a trick question/ badly worded question. Now thinking it is his Alfa and his Punto combined.

Sounds like the Ferrari dino to me, which I thought shared the same engine with the thema?

2.4L engine, the Dino. And a V6

The Thema shared the 328 engine albeit with different intake manifold (IIRC...JAYB ought to have sniffed out this thread by now)

This is definitly a car isn't it? Lots of ideas seem very close but not quite there. Now I'm wondering if it's a tractor...

Missed this post. What an anti climax!

Is it worrying that I know who this is?
