That'll go in the 4c then I presume?

Hasnt the 4c got whatever engine the xbow its based on used?

 

I'd imagine this will go in 'hot' versions of their normal range.

 

I'd also be very surprised if it stays entirely exclusive to alfa when the company is part of such a large group.

I thought the 4c was to get the 1750cc tbi engine used in the Guillietta QV, but maybe this will go in instead, or be used on a 4C QV maybe?

This is one of the engines going into the New Giulia when released in 2013.

Quite right. Way to much money goes into engine development for that to make financial sense. Look at how VAG squeeze relatively few engine types into hundreds of models...
