Photos of WTCC Alfa 159?

Does anyone know of any links to sketches of the proposed Alfa 159 WTCC?

I don't think anything exists at all. Alfa is gone from touring car racing as a works team, and if they're replaced by anything from the FIAT group it would be with the FIAT brand itself - but personally I actually doubt we'll see FIAT race!

Edit: Hazard proves that it does exist something, but my point still stands

I heard that Alfa is developing a Sportscar on GT2 base. The car will not be develope by n-technology. Fiat advised if it is good for the brand to run the fiat grande punto in the wtcc. Fiat runs two new abarth grande punto in the IRC this year.

I think AF Corse are favourites to develop an 8C based sportscar.

And Fiat maybe with N-Technology in the WTCC later.

In response to the actual question, the above pic is all I can find and it isn't really interesting - someone's had a go at modding one for a game somewhere it looks too: http://img371.imageshack.us/img371/4...159wtcc0yu.jpg

That wasn't about the Grande Punto, the rumoured WTCC entry would be with the new Bravo.

You are right bramzel. It is the new Bravo. But n-technology will have a new partner. Perhaps Mazda..

FIAT/Alfa is no longer shareholder in N.Technology.

"will have a new partner", I think this was only a rumour not a fact.

Sure that was a rumour and not a fact. It would be interesting to know what happened with the relationship between Alfa and n-technology. The Punto s1600 was developed by n-technology. But the Abarth Punto? I think there was no co-operation.

It would be a massive shame for Alfa to not enter a saloon into touring car racing. For me, touring car racing is all about BMW and Alfa-Romeo, without those two marques, it holds little interest for me.

According Autosport there will be no GT2.
