ON THE ROAD 在路上
Under the bonnet, there's the gloriously melodic 2.0-litre 16-valve TwinSpark engine that we also enjoy in the 145, 146 and new 156.下头盖,有光荣的旋律2.0公升16气门发动机,我们也享有twinspark在145,146、新156. In a sense, you won't care that its 150 horses actually take both to sixty in 8.4 seconds on the way to 130mph.从某种意义上讲,你不会照顾自己,其实两者为150匹,在4月8日60秒钟就130mph途径.

Perhaps the highest accolades should be reserved for the front wheel drive handling.最高荣誉也许应该留给前轮驱动处理. If you've always thought that proper sports cars should be powered from the rear, then stand by for a change of heart.如果你一直觉得应该适当运动轿车动力来自后方然后站在一个回心转意. Alfa wisely used the outstanding Lotus Elan as a benchmark in development, but improved upon it in a number of key areas.α用来偿还明智荷花朝气为基准,发展但改善它在一些关键领域.
First, there's power steering that, in contrast to the Lotus, offers the kind of direct steering that you'd normally associate with a racing car.第一,有动力转向,相较于莲花、有什么样的直接督导,通常就会联想到一个赛车. Secondly, the Italians have managed to design a multi-link rear suspension system that allows a degree of rear wheel steering.第二,意大利人都能设计一个多环节后方悬挂系统允许后轮转向度. There's certainly none of the twitchiness that normally affects powerful front-driven sports cars under heavy acceleration.有没有一定的影响,通常twitchiness强大阵线驱动下重型汽车运动加速度.

If you can find one, buy it.如果你可以找到一个买. You won?t be disappointed.你赢了?笔会大失所望.
