I have always loved the alfa but steered clear from them due to their known reliability. This one is mouthwatering.

Not too keen on the front, but the rear end is stunning!!

A 4 pot though! :thumbsdown:

At 38k I find it hard to believe it'll end up having all CF. :?

If they cut the roof, put 6 cyl and then up the power by another 100bhp with those looks I cant see myself not buying it(F*** reliability problems)

Yes it is a whiney turbo'd 4 pot but it will be putting out 230+ brake and with a kerb weight of some 850KG it should be a hoot.

The carbon tub will probably be one left over from the KTM stockpile they have from Dallara. 8)

Stunning looks and a great power to weight ratio. As previously stated, definately a "hoot".
