The LP3 version is so far specific for Cassino (New Giulia, Stelvio, Levante and probably also other Maserati models), and this is confirmed by Aptiv documents. A few people in this forum have also confirmed (I think @Gengis26 is among them) that LP3 was designed as BEV-only. It has also been said that the front end design makes difficult the accomodation of petrol engines. Anyway, we wait and we'll see what's actually the case

New Stelvio and Giulia are based on the LP3 version of the STLA Large Longitudinal platform, which was designed for BEV-only cars. That doesn't mean we are certain that an engine can't fit in the cars, but it should be difficult. The situation with the E-UV is more complicated. Imparato has said that it could be made in Cassino, and thus based on the LP3, but we know from a leaked document that Stellantis has explored the possibility of building the car in Detroit together with the next-gen Grand Cherokee. This would mean that the car will be able to be equipped with 2-liter and 3-liter petrol engines, a very important factor for the US market

Update from L'Argus: STLA Small is on track. New 208 in Dec 2026, new Corsa and new DS3 in 2027, all 3 made in Zaragoza. The new 2008 has been delayed to Sep 2029, and will be made in Vigo https://www.largus.fr/actualite-automobile/ds3-e-tense-2027-stellantis-projette-de-produire-la-citadine-electrique-en-espagne-30036834.html https://www.latribunadeautomocion.es/2024/10/stellantis-retrasa-la-stla-small-para-vigo-a-septiembre-de-2029/ https://www.latribunadeautomocion.es/2024/10/stellantis-planifica-el-ds-3-para-zaragoza-desde-mayo-de-2027-con-35-000-unidades/

secondo me, if it actually happens, it won't be the next Bottega, it will be a limited production model of around 500 units (so basically what the Giulia SWB was intended to be), perhaps as the homage to the last ICE RWD Alfa Romeo (I'm almost crying writing this). The Bottega models are ultra-limited cars (max 100 units according to Imparato) and cost 7-digit amount of euro

My personal guess is that the plan for Renegade was to be based on the STLA Small platform. But what is currently happening is probably that Stellantis has delayed the introduction of that platform. The New 2008 is delayed from 2027 to 2029 according to a spanish newspaper, and this could be a sign. So, if that's the case, they're probably thinking of switching to Smart so that the car is launched by 2027The only thing that matters is if he did a good job, not if he gave too many interviews. I mean, Alfa's had awful CEOs who gave less interviews, but did almost nothing for the brand (Kuniskis first that comes to mind), but the one who disrespected Alfa's history is Imparato? The fact Ficili said that with Alfa he just has to continue the JPI's plan, while with Maserati he has a lot of work to do, speaks volumesAt first, I just singled out the photo. But then I thought of doing something more, and I was a bit lucky. If you googIe "F169M linkedin" you'll find this Bosch employee who worked on a IPB1.1 project that concerns the Roma M and the SF90M (and the same person also worked on the Artura Spider). Google "Bosch IPB1.1" and you'll find that it is an integrated power brake specifically made for hybrid cars, which means that the Roma M will probably be a hybrid (V6?). Nothing new, we knew it from multiple sources, but anyway the more the sources, the better
