Love these!!!
7R
They look like a baby 458.
Lovely looking car. Isn't it a lotus underneath aswell?
Could have sworn it was a lotus underneath.
Care to put abit of meat on the bones then?

for a start lotus have never made a carbon tubed car which is what the 4C is underneath ?
what do you want to know ?
its made by Alfa , not lotus , by the same team who built the carbon 8c ? its all alfa in house
and as Alfa are owned by the Fiat group , they have a company who's not bad at carbon tubs , something to do with a horse ??? if they really need to
Lotus have nothing to do with the 4c 8c or any other alfa sports car
Thanks for that. Saved me reading up on it. Ha
The side on picture looks awesome, as above its just so perfectly proportioned, which obviously it should be when they had the exige to copy the proportions from, lol.
I really like them, but I'd probably buy an Exige still if it was my money, I just think it would work better on track longer term.
Very pretty car

Probably the only Alfa I've ever taken a liking to tbh!
What kind of money are they going to go for?

About 45K ish IIRC

I can see why people would spend 45k elsewhere but the 4C, for me, is exactly what i'd have for that money at the moment.
It's pretty exclusive as well and all sold out iirc?

Love that one!! :approve:High-spec Boxster money then!
I'd lean towards the Porsche personally.

Aren't they all sold though?
HUGE weight difference, they are very different cars.
Wow wow that Alfa is beautiful!
Porsche is gorgeous too mind. As mentioned they are totally different cars. Alfa looks a proper weapon and would have my vote. But the boxsters is nice!

Reviews are not full of praise, everyone apart from TG said the steering is gash along with the exhaust note and head lights. No AC too and s**t interior.
You really don't get much for the coin either.
I find it odd that Alfa have gone after the Lotus market. It's saturated (by lotus) so much so Lotus are making a loss and barely sold any cars last year.

The lotus talk isn't as silly as made out above.
It's well know Alfa entered into discussions with lotus r.e. production/assembly but the deal wasn't agreed and Alfa did their own thing in the end.
Yuck. no thanks for all those miles of motorway, something heavier gets my vote, like the boxster.
the launch editions yes i believe , however this is a production car ,and they will be making about 3500 cars a year.
the spyder is not 45k it will be circa 50 +
i withdrew my intent with alfa and did not put a deposit down in the end as the spec changed as did certain styling items , the headlights for one .
the spyder with the lights and wheels its shown with (this is a concept not a real car anyway) looks much better , but they changed things on the coupe
Search SELOC you are member also iirc. It was during concept stage so probably 3 years ago, read about when I had an Elise.
Aren't GM a lot bigger than lotus? VX220? Aren't the various car companies that lotus do consultancy for a lot bigger? I can't claim to know the detail, but the 4C is a niche car originally being made in limited numbers.
Drop the patronising tone as well!!

Same as me then. Phoned the Alfa garage, first guy didn't know about the spider... second guy laughed so i don't think that will be happening.

I don't normally like soft tops over hard tops but the 4c spyder is lovely.
Seloc spout bollox all the time , you won't find one reference to it anywhere outside of seloc and i doubt it was concrete and you're the only person i have ever heard make reference to it , Alfa had already built the 8C and this is a cheaper evoloution , they are using the masserati production line and always intended to as thats where they made the 8C so didn't need lotus , none of the design input is outside Alfa ,apart from the carbon tub construction but the company has links to the FIAT group.
So no it isn't a lotus elise underneath , alfa have never considered building it outside of italy in any conversation i have had with Alfa S.P.a in the early days Via Alfa UK.
But you heard it on Seloc , enough said
