Got £38,000?...Buy an Alfa 4C

[Omnis]

Stunning? More like ugly. It looks like it's made of cool whip. Front ain't bad but I don't know what they were thinking around back.

Apparently they had to restyle the back for the American market.

Apparently they had to restyle the back for the American market.

I didn't even notice that. I see it's got stupid U.S. low-speed bumper additions surrounding the license plate. They ruined the back end of the first-gen Cayman with them too:

And who can forget the glorious additions made to the McLaren F1 (let's not even start on what sealed-beam headlamps did to most European cars...):

[SlipZtrEm]

Maranello FIAT isn't too far away from me at all. Definitely will have to go take a look once they take delivery

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

5 miles from the dealer in Fort Worth or 2 miles from the dealer in Ann Arbor. I'll have to check them out.

I'm rather shocked that there isn't a dealer in Dallas, considering Dallas is one of the premiere cities of conspicuous consumption I've ever been to.

Edit: Also, no Atlanta and no Boston are very surprising.

 

[homeforsummer]

Edit: Also, no Atlanta and no Boston are very surprising.

Perhaps neither of those are considered big markets for Fiat 500s - since all the Alfa dealers above seem to be based at Fiat dealerships. Seems more like convenience than any specific desire to sell in a particular place.

Perhaps true of Atlanta, but definitely not Boston. That is a huge market for both cars.

This one's only 20 minutes away from me.

In all seriousness, the Fiat 500/500L has been a huge success here so hopefully Alfas will be quite popular too.

 

[Badasp5.0]

Damn 6 hours away in Tucson and 8 hrs for Denver.

 

[Ddrizle]

Almost 400lbs gained for the US spec model.

 

[psntomaz]

........345 lbs really.... total weight 2457lbs

added weight deals with Standard AC/Radio, thicker more comfortable Adjustable Passenger seat, Thicker Carbon Fiber Tube, stronger front/rear bumpers.

MT performance test:
0-60-4.8 sec.
1/4-12.8 sec.

 

[gt3_racer05]

overall, is it worth it, folks?

 

[kikie]

That's actually very personal. Some say yes, some say no. I'd not spend that much money on the 4C eventhough it has a carbon fibre monocoque chassis.

 

[JohnBM01]

This is a car that I am starting to like more now than I have previously. Not as beautiful as the 8C Competizione, but I do think it is nicely styled. It isn't ugly to me. It has a very nice flow to its design. I almost want to imagine a racing version of it. Who knows- we might even see something like the Alfa Romeo GTV Cup should we see some one-off racing variants of this thing. As for color, I'm classic (or what some would call boring)- Rosso Alfa for me. No matte red or anything like that, and especially NOT white.

But like I said before, I like this car. I like it now a bit more than I did when I first learned of the 4C.

 

[eSZee]

overall, is it worth it, folks?

If you're 70 years old and have a 7 figure 401k, yes. Forget about the 2016 MX5 and go for the 4C.

 

[gt3_racer05]

if I have a choice between this and a Lotus, I'll have this

I wish PD put this in GT6

Gosh those bumper pads look hideous, would be better painted matt black so they slightly disappear.

Also what are those vents on either side of the lights?

 

[Pootis]

And who can forget the glorious additions made to the McLaren F1 (let's not even start on what sealed-beam headlamps did to most European cars...):

I expected the car to be a little more expensive for some reason.

 

[terminator363]

The American one looks so bad on the back. In addition to the F1 picture, the US spec Countach also had a bumper:

 

[psntomaz]

Like i said in the other topic that someone tried to shoot down.........this will be shown in Detroit.

 

[andrea]

First official images of Alfa Romeo 4C Spider.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

I'll say, it looks far better with normal headlights than the ones it first came with. Bar the shouty yellow and those bumpers surrounding the license plate, the Spider is a really pretty car.

 

[mister dog]

 

[Heldenzeit]

I need a Spyder. Its like a modern 246 GTS.

 

[Smurfybug]

The American one looks so bad on the back. In addition to the F1 picture, the US spec Countach also had a bumper:

Who in the world would buy that?

 

[The McMerc]

Saw on of these in my local area. My draw literally dropped. Pictures don't do it justice, the thing is an absolute masterpiece in person.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

They should take some lessons from Ferrari regarding the transmission.. And that steering wheel is still awkward. Yet, the interior is more appealing than the one in Lotus Evora. Choices, choices..

 

[SVPSkins]

As nice as it is and looked alot of fun to drive on Top gear, being an Alfa its going to brake down sooner or later in a big way. id take this over the 4C
