The view from rear-side look similar to the new Lancer GT. However, this look better as it’s more saloon and stylish. It’ll be more complete with a spoiler fitted.

how come Paul?
A supercharger, aluminum manifold and LSD have been added, these are probably going to add more weight than can be saved by using the lighter alloys. Were any other parts removed/ modified?
has auto italia launched the 159 in Malaysia? If not when? No wonder the Alfa scene here is running on empty.
