Chrysler Group LLC’s new CEO, Sergio Marchionne, is scheduled to reveal his 5-year business and product plan to the media and analysts on November 4. However, The Wall Street Journal today released most of what Marchionne has will talk about next week.

According to the report, the plan relies heavily on vehicles from Fiat SpA, especially Alfa Romeo models, while dropping most of Chrysler’s original models. The report also said that Fiat and Chrysler are working on several new vehicles with Fiat technology for the U.S., including.

The folks at KickingTires have put together a nice list which you can check out after the jump. We’ll have full details from Chrysler next week.

Senior sources at Alfa Romeo have denied rumors that the company is working on a V8 engine for use in its next-generation of sedans. It said that with today’s poor economic climate, a V8 engine would not make commercial sense for its cars.

“No front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive Alfa Romeo will use a engine larger than a V6,” a senior Alfa source told AutoCar.

Fiat, which owns Alfa Romeo, has access to Chrysler Group LLC’s upcoming 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine, which could be equipped with the Italian automakers Multi-air valve train to improve fuel-economy. Chrysler’s powertrain division is now ran by Fiat’s Paolo Ferrero, who is also Fiat’s product engineering head.

The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione features a 4.7L V8 making 450-hp. The engine is borrowed from Maserati. Sources say that Fiat’s Multi-air technology could also be fitted to V8 Maserati vehicles to improve fuel-efficiency.

At the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show next week, Fiat will be flaunting its new 105-hp and 135-hp MutliAir engine technology. However, for us, it’ll be the new the Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde with 170 hp 1.4 MultiAir TBi that will get all the attention.

The engine is mated to the next-generation C635 6-speed gearbox, which helps the MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde go from 0 to 62 mph in just over 7 seconds. Estimated fuel-economy comes in at 4.8 l/100 km (or 49 mpg in U.S. terms).

There numerous visual changes made to set the Quadrifoglio Verde apart from other MiTos. Check them out in the high-res photo gallery after the jump.

Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde:

Press Release:

MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde, world premiere

Available following the launch of the 105 and 135 hp MultiAir engines, the world premiere of the Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde with 170 hp 1.4 MultiAir TBi takes place in Frankfurt. The exclusive trim brings back a legendary symbol that over the years has appeared on some of Alfa Romeo’s sportiest cars. Having always been synonymous with heritage, racing and victory, the “Quadrifoglio Verde” (four-leaf clover) now represents a new kind of sportiness that combines maximum driving pleasure with improved environmental qualities.

Bearing the Quadrifoglio Verde is this MiTo with the most powerful 170 hp MultiAir engine and innovative solutions that accentuate the existing qualities of the model: hold, agility, active safety and driveability are heightened by an engine with one of the highest specific power values in the world and a chassis with features hitherto unthinkable for a car in this class.

This engine’s best feature is its outstanding weight/power ratio, which has always been one of the key factors behind Alfa Romeo’s success on the road and the racetrack. The class-leading ratio of 6.7 kg/hp is almost 10 per cent better than the already excellent performance of the current 155 hp 1.4 TBi. At 124 hp/litre, this engine is also one of the world leaders in specific power. In fact, this is the highest value ever recorded for an Alfa car, affirming the excellent engineering heritage of the Alfa MiTo.

This is a particularly important value because it proves the effectiveness of downsizing, aimed at producing high-tech engines to get better performance allied with sharp reductions in fuel consumption and emissions. Indeed, it is this latter area which provides the most surprising evidence of the technical level achieved: 4.8 l/100 km and 139 g/km of CO2 (in the extra-urban cycle) are closer to what you would expect from an economy car than a compact sports car that goes from 0 to 100 km/h in just over 7 seconds.

On the back of these exceptional power qualities and the unbeatable performance/consumption ratio, Alfa Romeo decided to give a sporty and technological feel to this Quadrifoglio Verde version with high-quality finishes, attention to detail and a raft of features. One example is the 17″ satin titanium-finished wheels (based on the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione supercar). The same colour is used for the headlight frames and the wing mirrors, while the dark finish of the headlight parabolas is achieved by a brand new metal sublimation technology. The interior also has a refined sporty feel thanks to the all-black environment that ensures no reflections or distractions while driving. The technological aspect of this car is further enhanced by the sporty fabric used to upholster the seats, the modern dashboard and the white lighting on the instrument panel.

It should also be stressed that Alfa Romeo has developed an innovative chassis upgrade to further emphasise the dynamic qualities of the MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde.

Dynamic Suspension

Competitive racing has always been a testing ground for new technologies, which have found their way from the world’s most famous racetracks to standard road cars. One example of this passage between two seemingly very different worlds is dynamic suspension. This system, which actively and continuously controls the electronic shock absorbers, was developed by combining Alfa Romeo road testing with the latest engineering techniques from Magneti Marelli.

So, using experience gained on the racetrack, the system allows the MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde to excel even further in terms of agility and handling, giving it exceptional driveability and unparalleled safety. The driver gets three benefits from the Dynamic Suspension system: comfort, safety and agility. Above all, the electronic shock absorbers adapt to the road conditions and control all the car’s movements. This guarantees maximum comfort and ensures that the unevenness of road surfaces is fully absorbed. In addition, the Dynamic Suspension system always ensures maximum grip and safety by actively responding to all road conditions. Finally, because roll and pitch are more restricted in all conditions, there is better stability and cornering that adds to the undoubted agility of the Alfa Romeo MiTo.

The suspension interacts perfectly with the three different control strategies of the Alfa DNA system. In “Normal”, agility is combined with a higher level of comfort, whereas in “All Weather”, the safety features are enhanced by continual interaction between the Vehicle Dynamic Control stability system, the steering and the suspension. Finally, in “Dynamic”, the MiTo becomes a true sports car clinging to the ground and fit for any road: it is no coincidence that the system was developed at the historic Balocco test track and round the corners of the Nurburgring. So, thanks to the hard work of Alfa Romeo and Magneti Marelli, the car is responsive and reliable when you turn the steering wheel or put your foot on the accelerator.

The innovative Dynamic Suspension system is made up of four electronically controlled shock absorbers, five accelerometric sensors, a control unit and an interface with Alfa DNA for the different settings and with the other on-board electronic systems.

Its main feature is to actively and continuously control the response of the shock absorbers, which adapt depending on the movement of the car and the road conditions, as well as the driving style. To sum up, the Dynamic Suspension system better protects passengers from uneven road surfaces thanks to an effective filtering and optimises comfort by recognising an obstacle (such as a bump or a hole) and adapting suspension behaviour accordingly. The system also ensures better cornering by altering damping distribution of the four shock absorbers, enhancing handling and hold thanks to advanced lateral dynamic control. What’s more, the Dynamic Suspension system manages longitudinal dynamic control by adjusting the movement of the chassis during acceleration, braking and gear changes, and by integrating perfectly with the Vehicle Dynamic Control, steering and braking systems.

The new six-speed C635 gearbox

The technological qualities of the Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde are further enhanced by the next-generation C635 gearbox. Developed by FPT and manufactured at the Verrone factory in Italy, this groundbreaking mechanical unit is the first result of a design philosophy aimed at improving driveability, consumption levels and production flexibility.

As far as driveability is concerned, the new gearbox ensures clean and swift changes with very short selection movements, uniform activation pressures, no noise and no vibrations. In addition, modern design and construction techniques help to significantly reduce consumption levels thanks to less friction and the best possible gear ratios.

Its appearance in the Alfa MiTo 170 hp 1.4 MultiAir TBi marks the debut of a modern family of gearboxes adapted for a broad range of models.

According to a report by CARandDRIVER, Fiat engineers are currently studying the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee for the basis of a new Alfa Romeo SUV. Sources say that Fiat isn’t satisfied with Alfa’s current share of the European market and is looking to get the brand to compete in new segments.

Looks wise you can expect a lot of Competizione and MiTo touches. Power is likely to come from Chrysler’s new 3.6L V6 engine making 280-hp along with one or two diesel options. A HEMI V8 is very unlikely to find its way under the hood of the Alfa Romeo SUV.

Will it come to the United States? Most probably. As we already know, Alfa Romeo is looking to get back into the U.S. market and a brand new SUV should help them fit right in. Key competitors are said to be the BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz ML-Class and the Volkswagen Touareg.

Sources say that the name for the new Italian SUV will be Alfa Romeo CXover/A – and we’re not kidding. Almost looks like a math problem.

With only 35 of the 500 Alfa Romeo 8C Spider units coming over to the United States, we highly doubt we’ll ever get one in our press car fleet for a week. Not to mention we’re not friends with people who have an extra $299,000 to spend on a convertible Alfa Romeo 8C.

Either way, we’ll have to satisfy our needs through UK’s AutoCar, which recently took the new Alfa Romeo 8C Spider for a spin.

Refresher: Power comes from a 4.7 liter 8-cylinder engine producing 450-hp with a maximum torque of 354 lb-ft. Mated to a 6-speed automatic or manual, the 8C Spider goes from 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds.

Alfa is working on a GTA variant of its much successful 8C Competizione supercar. The model is expected to make its debut next year at the company’s centenary celebration next year.

What can you expect from the 8C GTA? According to AutoExpress, the 8C GTA will see a weight reduction of 150kg (337 lbs) thanks to the use of carbon fiber body panels. Design cues such as a hood vents and an ice-white front bumper should definitely set the 8C GTA apart from its standard sibling.

Power will come from the same 4.7L V8, which will be upgraded to produce a total of 500-hp. 0 to 60 mph will come in less than 4 seconds with a top speed close to 200 mph.

While Alfa Romeo produced 500 units of the 8C Coupe and the 8C Spider, the 8C GTA will see a limited production run of just 100 units.

Earlier this year, Chrysler’s bankruptcy documents revealed that the Fiat/Chrysler alliance would give Chrysler four vehicle platforms, two engines and two transmission families from the Italian automaker. The documents specifically said that the models will be the Fiat 500, Alfa Romeo MiTo and the Milano.

However, according to Alfa Romeo’s CEO Sergio Cravero, the MiTo may be to small for today’s U.S. market, reports Automotive News.

“A preliminary product assessment for a sporty three-door small hatchback showed potential volumes in the U.S. right now are roughly 20,000 units a year,” Cravero said. “That is not enough to make it a viable business case.”

Cravero said that the situation could change if demand in the U.S. shifts to smaller vehicles.

A spokesman said that Alfa plans to return to the U.S. in the second half of 2011 with the Milano, a five-door mid-sized hatchback.

It was reported earlier this week that Fiat had decided to put the MiTo GTA on hold and was considering canceling the project altogether. According to AutoCar, Alfa Romeo is now playing down reports on the MiTo GTA being cancelled and says that no decision has been made about the model’s future.

An Alfa spokesman said that the car has always been a concept and has yet to be given the green light for production.

“There are question marks about the project but there is an unashamed keenness to get the green light,” the spokesman told AutoCar.

However, even if Alfa does confirm the MiTo GTA for production, the car is unlikely to hit showrooms until late next year. Originally, the Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA was scheduled to go on sale before the end of this year. Power comes from a 1.75L turbo-charged 4-cylinder pumping out an outstanding 240-hp.

Fiat will only produce 500 units of its new Alfa Romeo 8C Spider and out of the 500, only 35 units are scheduled to make their way to the U.S. later this fall. That means we’ll probably never get to take one for a test-drive (we’re making some calls – don’t worry).

If you’re interested in buying one, make sure you have $299,000 to spend on this exclusive model, which will be sold through Maserati in North America.

Power for the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider comes from a 4.7 liter 8-cylinder engine producing 450-hp with a maximum torque of 354 lb-ft. Mated to a 6-speed automatic or manual, the 8C Spider goes from 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds.

We’re really starting to hate this economic crisis. An Alfa Romeo spokeswoman, speaking to iMotor, has confirmed that Fiat has put the much-anticipated Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA on hold, probably indefinitely.

“The MiTo GTA has been put on hold. It’s hard to justify building such as high performance car at this present time as the financial crisis means that its not economically viable,” said the spokeswoman, “And, sadly, it may never be.”

Ouch – that one hurt.

The Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA was scheduled to go on sale before the end of this year. Revealed in concept form at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, the MiTo GTA is/was powered by a 1.75L turbo-charged 4-cylinder pumping out an outstanding 240-hp.

We first heard details on the Alfa Romeo Milano, a replacement for  the 147 entry-premium car, in Chrysler’s viability plan submitted to Congress in February. Well, it seems like we won’t have to wait long to see the production Milano since photos of the model from Alfa Romeo’s plant in Italy were leaked on Facebook yesterday.

As you can see from the photos, most of the design theme has been heavily influenced by the Alfa Romeo MiTo and the 8C Competizione.

The Alfa Romeo Milano is built on Fiat Group’s C- and D-segment platform which is internally known as the C-Evo. Power should come from a range of 1.4L and 1.75L turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engines.

The Alfa Romeo Milano is scheduled to go on sale in Europe in early 2010.

Chrysler Group LLC and Fiat SpA’s CEO Sergio Marchionne recently said that the new partnership between the two companies will bring back the Alfa Romeo brand to North America to compete against luxury European cars. The new CEO is hard at work at his Chrysler Group LLC office, sharing details on his vision to use Fiat models as the basis of future vehicles branded as Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep.

According to AutoCar, Dodge models could be rebadged in Europe as Alfa Romeo cars. Marchionne says he sees the two brands sharing the same core identity and he aims to have a strategy in place on what to do with the two brands by the end of the month.

Sources say that one proposal Marchionne has in mind is selling all Dodge models as Alfa Romeos in Europe, and all Alfa Romeo models as Dodge models in the United States.

“Dodge is the American muscle car, while Alfa Romeo is the European muscle car. How we dovetail these two brands is very important,” Marchionne said. “The level of competition between these two brands is tremendous because they are both going after the same customer.”

Chrysler Group LLC’s new CEO Sergio Marchionne is not wasting anytime and is getting right down to work, bringing clarity and direction to the New Chrysler that exited bankruptcy just two weeks ago. Working from a modest office setting in the company’s Auburn Hills Technical Center, Marchionne has already compressed eight layers of management into five.

The new CEO is now sharing a detailed version of his vision to use Fiat models as the basis of future vehicles branded as Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep.

What’s more exciting than that is Marchionne is said to be positioning the upscale Alfa Romeo brand to come to North America to compete with luxury European vehicles. According to a report by the Free Press, some of the Alfa Romeo models may be built in the U.S., and possibly exported to Europe.

We already know that the Fiat 500 will be the only Fiat badged model coming to the United States within 18 months. The Fiat minicar will be built at Chrysler’s Toluca, Mexico plant. Besides the Fiat 500, Alfa Romeo brands will also keep their European badge when sold in the United States.

“The new company will focus on speed without short-cutting,” Marchionne said.

Alfa Romeo MiTo:

Press Release:

“MultiAir” is launched on the Alfa Romeo MiTo

Just a year after the celebrations for the Centenary and as ever a synonym of refined technologies and high performance engines, Alfa Romeo announces the marketing from September of the Alfa Romeo MiTo with 1.4 Turbo petrol MultiAir engines, the revolutionary technology developed and patented by FPT – Fiat Powertrain Technologies. The range of a winning model is therefore even broader, for a model which, since its launch to date, has seen 60,000 orders and is sold in 34 Countries throughout the world in 5 different continents.

The new engines are an important “breaking point” from the current petrol engine scenario, just as was the case for the diesel Common Rail technology which saw its debut on the Alfa Romeo 156 in 1997. Just think that, compared to a traditional petrol engine with the same displacement, MultiAir engines ensure an increase in power (up to 10%) and torque (up to 15%), as well as a considerable reduction in consumption levels (up to 10%) and CO2 emissions (up to 10%), of particulates (up to 40%) and NOx (up to 60%).

The heart of the MultiAir is the new electro-hydraulic valve control system which makes it possible to reduce consumption levels (thanks to direct air control via the engine suction valves, without the use of the throttle) and polluting emissions (thanks to the combustion control). What’s more, an emblem of the concept of “downsizing”, the Multiair is a versatile technology, easily applied to all petrol engines, with a future potential development on diesel engines, too.

The head of this revolutionary family is the MultiAir 1.400 16v turbocharged and aspirated engine which on the Alfa Romeo MiTo model will be available with 3 different power levels (105 HP, 135 HP and 170 HP) and combined with 5 or 6 gear manual gearboxes. While the first two are offered on all versions of the MiTo range, the third will be exclusively available on the special version called “Quadrifoglio Verde” (Green Four-leaved Clover), debutting after the launch.

Made in Termoli (CB) at the FPT – Fiat Powertrain Technologies factory, the new MultiAir engines were designed from the onset of their development to enhance further the Alfa DNA selector, the device which makes it possible to adapt the personality of the Alfa Romeo MiTo to the requirements of the driver and the different road conditions. What’s more, for the first time on the “most sporty compact car ever”, the Start&Stop system will debut – combined with the MultiAir engines. This system controls the temporary turning off of the engine and its subsequent restarting (for example when stopped at a set of traffic lights), keeping all the car’s other devices intended for the passengers’ comfort in operation.

According to the analysts over at IHS Global Insight, the upcoming Alfa Romeo 169 will be built on the Dodge Charger platform and will be produced in Canada. The car is scheduled to go into production in 2011 with prices starting around £38,000 ($62,000 USD).

Global Insight says that production of the Alfa Romeo 169 will take place at the Bramalea Production facility in Brampton, Ontario.

The Fiat 500 for the U.S. market will be built in Toluca, Mexico. The minicar is expected to reach a sales volume of 25,000 units in 2015.

More Power, Great Design And a Sporty Heart: NOVITEC Tunes the Alfa Romeo MiTo

More power, great design and a sporty heart: NOVITEC presents the exclusive tuning program for the Alfa Romeo MiTo. Engine tuning for the two Diesel models and the gasoline-powered 1.4 TB model is complemented by a strikingly styled aerodynamic-enhancement package. The latter comes with a general operating certificate, eliminating the need for individual technical inspections. Also available from NOVITEC are 18-inch wheels and a height-adjustable coil-over suspension.

NOVITEC POWERJET 2 is the name of the recipe that increases power output of the MiTo with 1.4-liter turbocharged gasoline engine by 31 hp / 23 kW. Peak torque grows by 30 Nm. The plug-and-play auxiliary control unit can be installed in less than five minutes. The tuned MiTo produces 186 hp / 137 kW and is even more agile: With a sprint time of 7.4 seconds from rest to 100 km/h the tuned 1.4 TB bests its production counterpart by about 0.7 seconds.

Sophisticated NOVITEC power tuning is also available for the two turbodiesel models. The easy-to-install NOVITEC POWERRAIL 5 module boosts power output of the 1.3 JTD model from standard 90 hp / 66 kW to 110 hp / 81 kW. The same auxiliary control module when installed in the MiTo 1.6 JTD produces an additional 24 hp / 17.7 kW. The tuning module also markedly increases peak torque by some 50 Nm.

NOVITEC adds further sporty highlights with an aerodynamic-enhancement kit for the smallest Alfa Romeo model. The body kit comes with a general operating certificate which eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming individual technical inspections.

The front of the MiTo receives a striking facelift with spoiler corners left and right plus a centrally mounted cup spoiler.

NOVITEC rocker panels give the compact car an even lower, sleeker side appearance. The rear of the MiTo is refined with the NOVITEC roof spoiler and diffuser for the rear apron.

The rear component is also designed to surround the NOVITEC sport rear muffler. The stainless-steel exhausts were developed for maximum power yield and a more exciting exhaust note. They can be combined with one, two or four tailpipes.

The sporty new look also includes NOVITEC N8 multi-spoke wheels. The 7.5Jx18 wheels are available painted silver or matte black. Pirelli high-performance tires in size 215/35 R 18 were selected as the optimal tire choice.

NOVITEC sport springs lower the ride height of the MiTo by some 40 millimeters. As an alternative, NOVITEC offers a stainless-steel coil-over suspension with adjustable ride height and adjustable dampers. It gives the Alfa Romeo a firmer ride and a ride-height lowering between 35 and 65 millimeters.

A bunch of Alfa Romeo MiTo Cabriolet renderings have popped up online showing what the drop-top version of the hottest Italian hatchback could look like.

It was reported in June of last year that Alfa Romeo is working on a soft-top convertible version of the MiTo due for launch in 18 months. According to that we should see the convertible MiTo right before 2009 ends. The MiTo convertible is expected to get the same engine lineup as its hatchback sibling.

Of course, a MiTo GTA Cabriolet should scare the shoes off of the Mini Cooper S. But we’ll let that remain a dream for now.
