Alfa Romeo 4C is no more

If only the value after 3 years / 36k miles was in-line with their prediction. Now production has ended - I can’t see values dropping much from where they currently are.

They've increased over the last 12 months already. I was looking about 12 months back but ended up in an Evora instead - you could get poor spec ones for low 30's and the LE's for about £35k. Now entry is about £35k and LE's are well north of £40k.

There was one local to me.

It looked stunning, but I was always surprised at how expensive they were for not particularly special performance.

Mine are the old light cluster (which I happen to prefer) which are carbon (see new pic :-) )

That’s a nice car combo you have there Peter

Spider was about 10k more new list price

Would you happen to have the same mag screenshot with the coupe test info? I am curious to see the actual weight difference.
Thanks.

It was supposedly 45kg lighter according to Alfa

They wouldn’t make a Coupe available to Autocar to test at launch time so there was never a full test

There were rumours of a ‘Harris-Ferrari’ type fallout at the time iirc

Really enjoyed mine when I had it.
I could cope with the shortcomings, as I did with the Exiges I had before it, except for the farting noises - they became tiresome and embarrassing at times, so much so that I’d find myself short shifting to avoid the noise.

Mine also had better fit and finish than my second Exige.
And it never went wrong.

Was really hoping Alfa would make a 6C or a Giulia Quad coupe...

Could be a long wait...

I've had a bit of a soft spot for the 4C for as long as I can remember, even though they're by all accounts a pretty flawed proposition.

Shame to see it go; I appreciate that the Caymen is objectively better in pretty much every way and the Alpine A110 made a much better car out of the same formula, but neither "stirs the mighty tiger beneath my fly", as it were.
