As the title says really. I received a proper-ish brochure for the Alfa 4C today - seems pretty serious for just a concept car.
I'm smitten with it anyway. Wasn't 100% at first but every line suits me perfectly. Would have preferred engine in front and some mini back seats but nevermind!

Anyone else get one?

Plus one.
I think they're onto a winner with the 4C yes, it is a beautiful looking car.
Dare I say it but I like it more than the 8C.

Ahh, that the brochure sent out 3 months ago to the list folks I presume. Im not aware of any new ones sent out since then...and seeing as my dealer is on ph Ill give him a kick if it is and he hasnt let me know smile

It certainly was a very flash brochure, but all the information contained within has been widely known for a while now.

By all acounts the 8C isn't that great, but this on the other hand really could be. There was some talk a while back about alfa going rwd for a good number of future models so hopefully this is the start of something really exciting.

No, nothing new in it I shouldn't think (how could there be something in there that's not already on all the cutting-edge spyshot-grabbing sites/blogs/magazines), but I thought it was interesting that they were sending out brochures. It strengthens thoughts that they will actually produce it! I just hope they don't water it down like they did the Brera.

What list folks do you mean? They only just sent it to me obviously! I wasn't sure if it's because I was an Alfa customer 12 years ago (GTV), or if I'd filled something out on their website regarding the 4C.

I bet the steering wheel bottom isn't a solid slab of metal on the finished article. Looks great though.
Could you get an airbag in that steering wheel?

You missed the best picture BTW.
There's one of the side in which the rear and bootlid look fabulous.

Where did you hear this?

Everything seems to be to the contrary at the moment.

-Brochure
-Latest Alfa magazine - Review with design/technical team stating they are aiming for the 850kg zone with 900kg max and lots of talk about the production model
-Big Alfa 4C reveal at the Frankfurt motor show (many expecting the 4C production version to be sat there)

e.t.c e.t.c

And because it's on a very stiff Dallara carbon fibre platform they should be able to do a Spider version, yes?

You're thinking of the Abarth version.
