Fiat Coupe 16V turbo and the 156 2.5 V6

[Pwig]

Is the coupe noticably faster?

[petros]

Coupe turbo pulls 220 bhp. Non turbo 198. Having driven and sold both I'd have to say the Coupe turbo would piss it.

Congrats on being competely wrong.


Turbo 195bhp
V6 190bhp.

Non turbo 16V about 130.

Power-to-weight 139.48 bhp/ton 152.34 bhp/ton

Classic mistake there pwig. Bigger bhp figure doesn't necessarily mean faster car.

Pwig, I think you'll find the NA version of the coupe should be about 150bhp. There was no real gain (about 5bhp) in that model when they switched to the 20v engine (except that the 20v weighs more and the extra 5bhp was lost a few years later until emissions tightening).

The Alfa sounds sooo much better than the muted 16v turbo.

I have always understood that the 20v turbo weights in at 220bhp
