Default New Alfa 4C

I don't like Alfa, as a rule, but this does look good (apart from the turbo)

That's the 8C though???

The article implies that the 4C will be mid engined (so won't look like that with the long bonnet etc.).

I'd be surprised if it was any less than £40k, more like £50k.

That said, I do like the 8C so if it's anything like that, it's not a bad thing.

But that's an 8C in the photos. Bloody stupid Evo magazine.

Bugger. I did wonder about where the mid engine was going to fit, but though it looked smaller than the 8C

Sounds good, 250hp and 850kg, that sounds pretty Lotus-esque!

"Alfa Romeo 4C GTA's styling likely to take inspiration from the gorgeous 8C supercar"


It's not going to be a mid-engined 8C
It won't be the same size as an 8C

It will take styling cues from the 8C, probably in the same way that the Mito does.
It will be similar in proportion to a KTM X-bow, which will be no bad thing.

I personally can't wait.

Sounds like its going to be a KTM XBow in an Alfa party frock, which can't be a bad thing.

I'll believe it when I see it, officially released not just rumour milling. . . .
