Well, it's not a 2.0TS, nor a 2.4JTD... how about a V6?

I shot these pictures on a meeting of a dutch Alfa Romeo webcommunity.
Unfortunately I don't have any technical details, but if I recall collectly
this car is owned by one of the guys behind http://www.squadra-tuning.com/,
I think his name was Stephan or Stefan? Maybe some of my dutch friends here
know more about this beast!

Some kind soul on a dutch forum sent me a link to a page with more
info on this creature. Unfortunately it's in dutch, but I think you
can all figure out the technical details from it!

the new 2.0 TS on a cast-iron block??
