Q4II...Twin Diff Torsen c Quattro of RS4....Torsen c The official press kit says that it can transfer full of the torque in each axle...i have read that a central differential is impossible to transfer more of 50% of the torque in each axle.Except 40/60 audi's quattro can change the torque distribution like Q4II(43/57,72/28,22/78...etc) of AR?

Sorry but it was not from AlfaRomeo designers but.... This concept won the Ist prize at Berman Design Student Proposals 2005, Sports Cars Section. It's based upon the Alfa 159 brand new stock shape, but with a wide body kit, diffuser and extractor. It's inspiration: a mix of F22 Raptor and Formula One http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=298884&highlight=Alfa

This is a photoshop by AlfaRomeo designers. According to them,new GTA will use some of the below stylistic cues. http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/2732/159gta23qh.jpg

Carrera GT 41/59 Enzo 42/58... SLR 47/53 Quattroporte 47/53 612 46/54 8c competizione 45/55 599 45/55 F430 41/59 Taurus has written that the ideal w.d. for rwd is 42/58.....where this come from?...any technical comment? Bmw cars have most of the mass between the two axles....is this an advantage compared to alfaromeo/audi who have the engine in the front/front?Thats why Bmw has better polar torque torpore?

Alfa Romeo Brera It's another Alfa rebirth, only this time it may actually be for real -Psycho-acoustics is a big part of modern engine design. If a new car sounds enticing, it's not because it just happened that way through some petrol-fuelled cultural osmosis, like it used to. It will have been engineered, analysed, clinicked, deconstructed, reconstructed. It means that, despite rampant regulations,Alfa's new V6 sounds as good as an Alfa V6 should; deep and burbly at low revs, forte con brio at high revs. -Now I can discover that the steering is both quicker and meatier than a 159's, thanks to the shorter wheelbase and driver-friendlier valving, but there's a disappointing rubberiness around the straight-ahead.It filters out too much subtle road feel, but at least the steering doesn't suffer from the friction found in too many modern systems. And the faster I go, and the twistier the road, the better the Brera gets as other inputs fill in the gaps -We want this not to feel as turbulent as the 156 GTA, not as nose-heavy as the 147 GTA. Maybe a taste of Impreza WRX would be good. -It points keenly, like the V6, and as you accelerate through a fast corner you can feel the outside rear wheel loading. That's usually a sign of a throttle-adjustable balance, and so it proves. This Brera is fluid, agile and accurate, attributes that make up for its lack of ultimate pace. -You should try a V6, though. It's good when faith is restored http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/driven/62280/alfa_romeo_brera.html

owluca....the information for Front Impact/Side Impact/Weight is from the below link....sorry i dont have any other link. http://www.euroncap.com/content/safety_ratings/ratings.php?id1=3 -159 only got 2points for the belt reminder.SAAB 9-3 and the Volvo S40, not to mention the Mercedes C-Class that got retested after the installation of the belt reminder & scored 2/3 more points just for the belt reminder. -Except the spare wheel it has bigger dimensions,double glazed windows & multisplit technology premium floorpan. ....................................................................................................... 159 weight issue!...don't you think this is a funny statement from AR when 159 is one of the heaviest cars in D segment?

What do you propose for Brera? Rosso,Blue Misano or Black?.....i think those are the best colours for Brera.

From the best Greek Magazine Circuit time/0-100/0-1000m/120-140(4th gear)/120-140(5th gear) 159 1.9JTS 1.20''1/10''5/31''8/6''2/8''9 159 2.2JTS 1'18''75/9''2/30''3/5''2/6''8 Α4 1.8T Quattro 1'19''4/9''3/30''5/5''2/7''5 ΒΜW 320i 1'19''3/10''1/31''4/6''4/7''9 A4 could make slower lap if they had choose 1.8T without Quattro.Also they mentioned that 159 had used up clutch,so with a fresh one it could achieve better accelaration figures.

When Kit Sportivo will be available?....it will contain different setup or only exterior bodykit? http://www.alfaromeo.it/cgi-bin/pbrand.dll/ALFAROMEO_ITALIA/carconfig/ccStep3.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0431031626.1137333869@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccdaddgjmdjjfjcefecejgdfiidgnl.0

Βlue Misano 3.2 Q4 :ilove: http://homepage.mac.com/petertjan/PTGT/PhotoAlbum23.html

Is it true that the stars given to each car depends from the weight of each car?Fom example i cant believe that a yaris(900kg) has the same stars with bmw720(2,5tones) in front impact.....but if the collision wont be in a stable spot but between those two cars then yaris will be in a serius trouble.So 5 stars of yaris is sth different from 5 stars of 760. ---Model-------------Front Impact------Side Impact----Weight---Year 1 . 159---------------15---------------------16--------------1552---2005 2. 3 series-----------16---------------------17--------------1490---2005 3. Avensis-----------14---------------------18--------------1245---2003 4. Passat-------------14---------------------18--------------1447---2005 For example if the collision will happen between avensis and passat where those two cars has the same points(14) in front impact then passat will be safer cause it weights 200kg more?

-The ultra stiffer Premium platform wasn't better the Croma Epsilon -159 is just 12 Kg heavier than the Croma and 60 Kg more than the BMW 3 series for similar equipment. -It's interesting that they did the test with the 1.9JTD engine, is that the one that leaves most room under the bonnet? I guess the results would be even worse with the V6... -It's also interesting that they had to do the test a second time to reach this five star result.
