Fiat India is listening and is hence all set to launch the Fiat Linea T-Jet come the Auto Expo 2010. Now, what is the T-Jet all about? the T-Jet is an acronym for turbo petrol 1.4.

This makes the Linea the second petrol car in India after the Skoda Octavia Turbo RS, to feature a factory fitted turbo. Fiat Linea Ad Needless to say, the performance figures will be stonking.

If Fiat India does decide to detune the T-Jet for India fuels, we’ll be looking at around 110PS, which is still plenty though. All New Honda City eater? You bet! From an enthusiast’s perspective, the T-Jet could really change the affordable performance sedan culture in India as it will be priced at around 10 lakh Indian rupees. Start saving up, ladies and gentlemen. The sex on wheels just got sexier!
