Alfa on their two litre 16 valve twin cam had a variorator which chsnged the length of inlet manifold to deliver a flat power curve. at 4000 rpm it switched a flap then took off again. 0-60 7 secs 135mph topend and an easy 40mpg if driven within speed limits. loved mine until 150k miles and immboliser probs made cost effective repairs a non starter. £1000 to sort imobilelizer out £300 for new clutch timing belt £500+. List goes on car was worth less than £3k.
