fiat might do a new punto turbo as it is sharing the chassis as the 07year corsa D.

however i doubt it will be a vxr

The Corsa VXR 1.6 Turbo engines rings a bell. I think I've heard this is the plan provided they can make it reliable enough?

Jim

the Z16LET has been in testing for quite some time IIRC, should be a storming engine if they can get the claimed 180bhp

Not really ground braking 180 BHP from a 1.6 should easily make it reliable
