NEED MOAR SPORTS CARS

 

Especially more down market ones. Try finding something fun to drive that's 10 years old or less and $10,000 or less that isn't a mustang. FWD need not apply.

It's true, Alfa will be back in the US. I would expect the 4C to start in the $53-55k range. If you want an idea of what the Alfa version of the Spider/Miata effort will look like, google "Duettottanta". Oh hell, I'll do it for you.

Giulietta and 4C will be the first entrants to the U.S. Nothing firm in terms of pricing on the Giulietta, but I would expect somewhere in the mid-$30k to compete with 3-series and C-class.

Anyone have any ideas what kind of a powertrain the 4c will have? The article didn't say, but i think it would be really fun with a low curb weight and a high revving turbo 4.

 

1.75L turbo 4cyl 230bhp, probably will weigh in at 2000 lbs

 

From what I've heard from the Abarth division, that motor is apparently good for hp closer to 300.

I like the looks of the 4C but was hoping it would be a lot cheaper than $50k. So it's an est. 230 HP coupe that could cost about as much as a C7 Vette that comes with 450HP, standard and optional carbon fiber bits, and pulls over a G on the skidpad (with the Z51 package added)?

 

Karacho - That roadster looks like they ripped off the Sky/Solstice

 

Jewtoys - Sounds like your neighbor has an 8C. They only brought ~90 of them to the US and they are beautiful
