According to Autocar, Alfa Romeo CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato has confirmed that the marque intends to keep its 2.9-liter V6 gasoline engine around amid impending Euro 7 emissions regulations (set for introduction in July 2025). The updated regulations, negotiated upon last week, are less stringent on passenger cars, meaning that this Euro 6-compliant engine will still be legal for years to come.
While the CEO did not disclose where the engine may find a home in the future, he was clear that it should meet updated emissions proposals when asked if the V6 would survive: “The answer is yes, because I’m expecting the result of Euro 7 [proposals] this year. I would like something [compliant with] the [new] regulation to be interesting.”
The engine currently finds itself in use in the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, but a bored-out version of the block also appears in the belly of the new 33 Stradale.
