Fiat-Chrysler CEO says Alfa Romeo needs a ’wop engine’

Fiat’s new generation of Alfa Romeo high-performance sedans will have a feature that is uniquely described by its CEO - a “wop engine.”

That is the characterisation of the upcoming cars by the outspoken Sergio Marchionne, the Fiat-Chrysler boss who has dual Italian-Canadian citizenship. Marchionne spoke at the Detroit auto show on Monday.

The perennially delayed US relaunch of the hotly awaited iconic racing brand has raised eyebrows and put Marchionne’s credibility on the line to execute it perfectly.
