It really could do without any PAS like the Elise.
AMEN! Hate PAS. Twas reading a review of the Elise S in EVO, if Alfa could do without, I cant see it being anything less than the best car in ages of any marque.

Oh and a manual GB.

Your local Alfa dealer will be able to add your name to the KMI list, i.e. Keep me informed. This is submitted to Alfa Romeo. You can give a dealer a letter of intent, but until the specification and price are confirmed, you won't be required to place a deposit. If your local dealer is asking for deposits, I'll accept a letter of intent without money changing hands.

Thanks Le Man,

I've emailed via the Alfa website so hopefully my local dealer will be in touch shortly.

"was expected to bow in production trim at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, but is now tipped to debut in about a year from now (next summer) - a good half-year ahead of schedule."

So they would just present the car next year and start selling them 2014?
Pmsl.

They are just making it up now smile

Looks like it could be made by Jaguar with an electric motor first. hehe

Still nice though. When will the kit be available for the MX5 conversion?

Ferrari have built a car with some very strong styling cues...

Quattroruote has today published photos of a camouflaged road going pre production 4c on test. There are small detail differences between the styling concept and the test car, principally relating to the shape of the side air intakes. To be revealed at next year's Detroit Motorshow between January 14th and 27th, expect the Maserati-built 1750 to have around 250 BHP and a twin clutch seven speed box.

woohoo

As an Alfa fan, and someone who has always lusted after the 8C over all other cars in that category, the 4C is seriously good news smile Been following this topic on and off.

If its been covered then apologies, but how many are expected to hit the UK and anyone up for guessing what depreciation (if any) a 1-2 year old model will suffer?

Excelllent, looks close to the concept. Was worried they would put a low body on a FWD Giulietta floor pan.

I thought the KTM XBow was always the foundation of this car so never any need to water it down in such a way.

Just same company making it, so no X-Bow as foundation.

Paddle shift only. To be expected I suppose.
