Got lots of inside info but specifically asked not to broadcast it, sorry.

could you not just create a throwaway account and squeal like a pig?

We met with ARUK yesterday. All I can say is most of the recent rumours have a fair degree of truth to them. Personally, I'm looking forward to March......

I wouldnt trust much of what ARUK say.

I get my info from Alfa Italy direct and they change their story on a daily basis. In all honesty Ive kinda given up with Alfa on the 4C, they have managed to rather kill my initial interest.

I think what has happened is, they have found it's going to cost eighty thousand to make each car after saying they are going to charge forty five.

They wouldn't limit production to 2500 vehicles would they? The halo effect of the 4C would be too great to limit production and therefore, the re-building of the brand.

Most likely, perhaps a little disinformation being fed to SR (wink wink!)

Disinformation IS information with Alfa

Within the last week I have been told Alfa will *definately* show *the* production 4C at Geneva this yr.

I expect another missive from another dept in Alfa to tell me otherwise next week. Or it will be 3/4s of the production car or it will be the spyder or it will be the GTA model or will be a perfect representation of the engine, etc, etc

RHD - confirmed
~900kg - confirmed
Geneva launch - more or less confirmed

[stephen300o]

Really hope this works out better than the 8C, and gives other manufacturers a kick to make similar.

HERE HERE. Maserati seem to be getting the idea, new gransport will be 1100kg.


Given rumours are that the 911 gt3 will loose the manual, a proper Gearbox would get them in the veryvery good books of all the mags.
