The simmering saga of Volkswagen chasing Alfa Romeo skirt continues with the German giant dangling a big Porsche carrot in front of Alfa Romeo. That carrot takes the form of a rumoured plan for future Volkswagen-owned Alfa Romeos to use Porsche engines.
Although, Alfa’s current owners, Fiat, are still playing hard to get and are clearly not amused with Volkswagen’s latest flirting, telling Autocar, “We shut the door in their faces and now they’re trying to get in the window.”
In reply, VW boss Ferdinand Piech says, “Volkswagen has time.”

One reply on “VW teases Alfa with promise of Porsche engines”
Picture this. 4C with a Porsche 4 cylinder turbo or 2.7 boxer 6, with German build quality and reliability. Come on VW, make them an offer they can’t refuse!!!
