Well it looks like it's been made just for me - the name says it all really!!

Put me down for 2, one in orange, one in black.

It might even be a bit too wacky for my taste though, and not too keen on that badge!

Loving the high vis exhausts!

As Clarkson said "to be a true petrol head you have to own an Alfa at some point in your life"

That could be the one for me.

Saw that a while ago after a mate sent me some pictures. It IS a beautiful car, but not quite as nice as the 8C Competione (or something like that) from a couple of years ago. Just stunning.......

If iI was to soon fall from the grace of an Elise... it would be in that direction! Always had a huge soft spot for Alfas (owned an '83 Sud Gold Cloverleaf, '99 156 2.0 T-Spark & currently the wife's 147)

Will it get made..? Possibly. Will it end up rather muted from concept to reality like the Brera..? Most definitely

Except the front lights and the name, this car is just perfect.
Will phone the dealer to put the pressure.
Alfa dealer is next door to my house and Lotus is 1h drive away....
Just dreaming and the elise is stil more fun to drive probably....

Love the look of that one...being an Alfa the price will drop to 43p after a couple of years, so will be a great secondhand buy

Holy mother of god I am in love, that is out of this world, how much is that going to be ? If that's under 40k then Mrs Boggy might not want another Lotus

Boggy has said it all, absolutely wonderful and depending on the price I am very tempted Boggy!!! Decisions, decisions... maybe a woman thing as well but I agree with Minidiva, top name!
