Alfa Romeo 4C- Dayum!

While casually glancing through the Alfa Romeo website, I happened to see the all new 4C, and it is breathtaking.

Without destroying the essence of the 8C, they have crafted yet another work of automotive art.

Just look at it!

And the rear is just as spectacular

It gets even more delectable. 2 cyl turbocharged engine developing 200 bhp powering it to a sub 5 sec 0-60 figure. That is down to its 850 kg kerb weight, I'm guessing.

As far as I could gather, the car was showcased at the Geneva Motor show.

Any inputs? Here's mine. WOW!

Re: Alfa Romeo 4C- Dayum!

Correction, 4 cyl, not 2. Fairly obvious i think

Here's the link to the company website:

Re: Alfa Romeo 4C- Dayum!

Can't say i was really wow-ed by the car, though pretty much everyone else at the show was!

To me it looks like a strange blend of Elise + VX220 + Pontiac Solstice + Skyline (A-pillar & roofline)... and the colour really didn't do it for me.

Here are some pics i took :

I did however like the taillights and how the mat paintjob photographed well

Re: Alfa Romeo 4C- Dayum!

The colour and finish almost makes it look like a clay model with plastic and metal inserts. And since when did Alfa Romeo look to Lotus for inspiration?! Exquisite? No. Quirky? Yes.
