very sad that FIAT gave up on them and have chosen a GM based engine instead. Mortal failure...

[@EdgyNumber1]

Very special engine. Lasted a long, long time, lightweight, the last engines were special. 60° vee, Quad cam, 5 valves per cylinder, 54° split crankpins (very, very smooth revving engine) and add whatever else. They put these in (my opinion) the most beautiful saloon car in the world, EVER! The pre-facelift Alfa 156.
