RE: Video: Alfa Romeo 4C On The Move
Friday 29th July 2011
Let's face it, none of us can really be bothered to do any proper work on a Friday, which is why we like to bring you a video story or two come the end of the working week here on PH.
Video: Alfa Romeo 4C On The Move
Alfa's mid-engined coupe concept struts its stuff on video
You see, not only does a video distract you from doing any properly useful activity for the duration of it, but it also allows us to put a story up on the PH homepage without doing much in the way of real work.
But there is some justification in this particular video beyond mere Friday laziness, because it's the first chance we've had to see the Alfa 4C - you know, the mid-engined concept thingy from the Geneva show - on the move.
There's only one thing that's confusing us. At the end it says "4C- the most enjoyable form of intelligence". What exactly does that mean?

I seem to remember that they are aiming at the high end Audi TT market in price. So in the UK I believe that would make it about £35 - 45k
Amazing if they can make a carbon chassis that cheap but it goes on the shopping list if they do.
Still insurance and repair bills may make it a nightmare to own.

The Abarth version is cheaper still (so they say)Amazing if they can make a carbon chassis that cheap but it goes on the shopping list if they do.

Is this the Abarth roadster that Lotus were rumoured to be helping them with? As I said, I will be amazed if they can make the chassis that cheaply. I know its supposed to be a new technique for doing the pressings or something but even so.

I thouth it was going to be basically a roadster version of the Alfa with a detuned or smaller engine?!As I said, I will be amazed if they can make the chassis that cheaply. I know its supposed to be a new technique for doing the pressings or something but even so.
It has made me think that this would be a great starting point for a Lancia Montecarlo!
Too bad the Italians haven't figured out the concept of aspect ratios yet. -_-
And considering it's Friday, I'm in no mood download and edit the vid...
Anywho, I can't wait to see the actual car on an actual road! It looks stunning and will probably go like stink!
I'm not sure about the automatic twin clutch setup though. No matter how excellent the motoring press claim those systems are, I still prefer a "proper" manual gearbox.
But who knows, it might be on the options list?
