GTV Daytona limited edition
On facebook a new limited edition poped up, or it seems like it.
Striking is the high number of examples made, almost 90 and yet no one saw this for sale. Reason for this might be that the badge is not clearly visible from the outside. Unknown is who hade this edition and how many examples in reality were made. Zender kit is probably added later. VIN number indicates a Phase 1b car, so does the rectangular climate controls, but the steering wheel is older. Unknown is what special features distinguish this edition.
As for now this edition will not be added to my findings, even though there are non-factory editions like Alfa Corse.

GTV/Spider V6 TB power
is… 147kW (200CV)
9 documents provided by manufacturer regarding the CORRECT GTV/Spider V6 TB power, both Phase 1 and Phase 2. All state 147kW (200CV) not 148 not 149. It does not matter if You found a journalist or a register that provides other information. MANUFACTURER states 147kW. See brochures, owner’s manual, workshop manual, press kit.
Also on Wikipedia the entry, edited by me, states 147kW, so untill a hard evidence is provided this value will not be changed.
