They're available to order now but good luck getting one anytime soon, my local dealer sold out their 2014 and 2015 allocation months ago! The first UK customer cars (Launch Editions) are delivering this week so there will probably be some coming up for sale from speculators asking a premium over list

Contacted Guildford Alfa, they don't have any..... Oh well will have to change my R8 for something else.
My shortlist is
1. Alfa 4c - My preferred option
2. Jaguar F-Type
3. Maserati Ghibli
- Pete
Interesting shortlist. You do know a 4C has zero room, right? Going grocery shopping means driving around with a lettuce on your lap. Just saying My shortlist is
1. Alfa 4c - My preferred option
2. Jaguar F-Type
3. Maserati Ghibli
- Pete
I was interested to see how the 4c compared in raw stats against the R8 after seeing this thread, I thought the r8 would be significantly quicker past 60, but the 4c almost matches it on its 0-100 time according one Italian magazine. With the r8 hitting it in 9.9 (EVO test, manual), and the 4c hitting 99mph in 10.07!
Not only that but it is 0.2sec faster over a 1/4 mile than the R8, getting there in 12.5 seconds!
I know the R8 that was tested was manual, but I was rather impressed it matched 420 horsepower when the numbers got higher and higher which is normally where small light cars with 'moderate' power get left behind.
Not only that but it is 0.2sec faster over a 1/4 mile than the R8, getting there in 12.5 seconds!

And go much much further on a gallon of juice.Not only that but it is 0.2sec faster over a 1/4 mile than the R8, getting there in 12.5 seconds!

The 'new' twin air engine is now producing 105bhp, a full 20bhp than the orginal, which is mental for only 98g/co2.
