That looks stunning!

If it has the GQV engine in a lighter body promising 250bhp per tonne that will make it a good compromise bewteen Elise / Cayman.

The TCT box is praised on the Guilietta section of Alfaowner as a very good box, so should mkae for an entertaining driving experience with the perkiness of that 232bhp engine.

I loved this car ever since it was a concept.
For me there was no affordable car that could move me away from the coupe .... this will be it. The alfa will be around the £40k mark from what ive read elsewhere. They want to eat at the BMW Z4 / Porsche / Elise etc market as you say.

Give it 3 years and this car will be very affordable if following the usual appreciation of Alfas.

For me its defiantly a good contender for the coupe! Better start saving

Thats a beautiful car!!

Definitely would be a replacement for the coupe.

Fantastic to see it actually make production.

I'm just a little concerned by a two metre width...

Big Ass

It looks nice, but there's something a bit awkward about the angle of the windscreen and the height of the roof in the first picture.

I prefer the Alfa Spyder concept:



But I'd happily have both

Hmmm, is there an Alfa dealer in Dubai......

Same here Boosted.... Its nice - Been on t'web for a while now in supposed pre-prod form (even on Need for Speed on the xbox!). If I'm honest I'm a little disappointed with it. Looks too Elise/Exige'ish for me - no bad thing but I wanted more innovation in the aesthetics......... I'm sure I'll eat my words when I see one in the flesh.

There's going to be a limited production of around 2.500 per year. My guess is they won't have the hoped success. Initially they said it was going to be around € 30.000 starting price. Now they're saying double that. The engine is a good one, but it's not known for good mpg and it definately isn't known for making any great noises. Maybe they'll have soundscaped it a bit.

I really HOPE they'll do good and it'll inspire Alfa for some exciting material in the future, but I think they're aiming too high.

Nice but............... if I had the money I'd be heading to the Porker garage and not the Alfa one.

Though... what's the equivalent price of a twenty grand coupe, seventeen years on? Best info using CPI says around thirty grand... If they priced at that, I'm interested, but there isn't a car on the planet I'd pay fifty grand for.

+1

More info & pictures

Nice looking (like most Alfas) but the pricing will be key. Lots of technology and no go = a real flop. What is the target audience? If a 1.7l Alfa with 240 ponies comes on to the market at over £30K you will be able to pick up "new" 4Cs in 18 months time for half the money..... I don't think Porsche will be quaking in their boots.

I really don't think that's the case, where are you seeing half price 18month olds?

I cant see prices dropping for several years. Maserati only plan on making 2500 a year. Not many for car also being released in the US as well.

Looks darn stumpy!

Only 1000 for europe - wonder how many will be RHD, maybe 100?

yeah, we'll see. like a limited run of special coupes? if the demand is there, they'll ramp up production pretty quick

Thats per year not total.

I think the main point is they have limited production speed due to the construction cf chassis.

Or she's very leggy

There is a lot of very capable competition at that price level....

Very pretty though

Nice video on assembly of the 4C here.

Nice find that
Should look good on the road, anybody seen one in the flesh yet?

Does this count?: Balocco Race Track
