Series production of the Alfa 4C mid-engined coupe will begin next year, Alfa Romeo has confirmed.
In the meantime, however, we'll have our appetites whetted once again for the new 200bhp-plus lightweight rear-drive coupe with an updated version of the concept first shown at Geneva back in March.
Well, we say updated - the changes to the car for the forthcoming Frankfurt motor show actually consist of, er, a new paintjob. But if these renderings are anything to go by the new 'Fluid Metal' metallic silver should look pretty good.
Alfa hasn't yet confirmed specs or performance figures for its new sports car, but the production 4C is expected to make extensive use of carbon fibre and aluminium in the body and sub frame to help keep the weight to around 850kg, while the 1.7-litre turbocharged engine is expected to deliver around 230bhp.
