Alfa 4c

Preço base deverá rondar os 70k
Para atingir o peso de 900kg eles vão recorrer a um chassis de fibra de carbono, portanto não se pode esperar que seja um carro barato.
 
O Z4 também não fica longe desta gama, tirando o peso, mas quanto mais barato, melhor! Que me surpreendam, que eu acho que fazem falta mais roadsters! Devia haver um por marca, no mínimo!
 
Ali aquela zona da entrada de ar para o motor, pilar e vidro traseiro...
Enfim que coisa mais mal nascida, eu pelo menos não gosto! Como já não gostei do mito nem sou apreciador do Giulietta, a meu ver estes últimos alfa romeo andam a perder naquilo que eram melhores.

1000x um Elise ou 370Z

Quanto ao peso só tenho a aplaudir, caso se confirme vai ser máquina.
 
Com este preço e specs, o concorrente mais "natural" que vejo é mesmo o Lotus Elise...

Concordo em parte, mas apesar dos tiques minimalistas, não será tão "radical" como o Elise/Exige.
Não traz cx. manual, vem apenas com a TCT, não teremos um motor NA a gritar por rotações, mas sim, muita força nos médios regimes. Mesmo os Exige sobrealimentados obrigam a puxar pelas rotações...
Aposto que será criatura bem mais usável que o Elise/Exige, com uma experiência de uso bem mais refinada e questões de usabilidade/praticalidade melhor conseguidas.
Pode parecer colado à fórmula Elise/Exige, dado as permissas gerais do carro, mas acredito que possa ser a alternativa mais interessante do mercado a um Cayman.
Esperemos que acertem com o setup...
 
Ao que parece o 4C vai ser produzido na fábrica da Maserati

El Alfa Romeo 4C se montará en Módena

En la factoría de Maserati será donde nazca el Alfa Romeo 4C finalmente. Si nuestras informaciones no fallan, el deportivo de Alfa Romeo ya estaría completamente definido en su especificación final, y se estaría comenzando a trabajar para plantearse la solución industrial para montar los chasis de fibra de carbono de manera serializada.

Y es que el Grupo Fiat decidió hace tiempo que los coches los harían ellos mismos, en lugar de subcontratarlo a Dallara, pero hasta la fecha desconocíamos en qué planta habría el conocimiento necesario para trabajar con composites y series cortas. Finalmente la decisión ha sido obvia, optando por montar los coches en donde mejores deportivos saben hacer dentro del Grupo.

El 4C se lanzará en formato definitivo a final de 2013, coincidiendo con el desembarco de Alfa Romeo en Estados Unidos.
 
Alfa Romeo 4C road version ready for production

The production of the Alfa Romeo 4C has kicked off according to the latest information released by Italian car magazine Quattoruote. The some what limited production of this compact sports car is the starting point for a long term project to rejuvenate Alfa, and initiate a return to the US. A minimum of 1,000 will be produced and if demand is sufficient that will be ‘thousands’. Last month it already became clear the production 4C will make its debut at the Paris Motor Show in September. The big question is though where will it be made? Insiders believe the ultra light car will be manufactured in Maserati’s plant near Modena, the same location where the 8C was once assembled. Carbon fibre parts will be produced in Alfa Romeo’s car plant in Pratola Serra where the new generation 1750 TBI will also be made. This production has already started.


Roberto Giolito who designed the Fiat 500 is the project leader, under the supervision of Lorenzo Ramaciotti (all pictured). The 4C has a complete new platform manufactured in Parma together with the famous company Dallara. The new TBI will operate with a new and quicker TCT gearbox and the car will only weigh 900 kilograms. A manual gearbox is out of the question. It is presumed the basic version will have 230hp, with the likeliness of a faster one (300hp). The 4C would do 0-60 in less than 4 seconds, wich is almost super car worthy. The interior will be adjusted though compared to the concept car we saw at the IAA in Frankfurt. Sergio Marchionne told at the Geneva Motor Show once again that Alfa will have a complete new program by 2014, the 4C is the first chapter in the new Alfa storyline.
 
Quero é vê-lo aí a fazer curvas de lado nos programas e testes do costume!

Apresentação em Setembro, ainda está a tempo de ser cancelado, com a Alfa nunca se sabe (infelizmente).
 
Alfa's new halo car will be built by Maserati
in Automotive News
TURIN – Fiat Group's luxury sports car brand Maserati will build Alfa Romeo's new halo model, according to company sources. The car is a rear-wheel-drive coupe called the 4C.

Fiat said on Thursday that Maserati will build a new vehicle for Alfa in Modena, Italy, starting in May 2013, with a forecast annual production of up to 2,500 units.

Fiat did not name the car, but company sources told Automotive News Europe that the model will be the 4C.

The 4C likely will be the first car sold by Alfa in the United States when the brand relaunches in the market in mid 2013.

In Europe, the 4C will be priced at about 50,000 euros ($66,000), company sources said. There is no word yet on U.S. pricing.

Alfa enthusiasts have dreamed for almost two decades of the return of an affordable rear-drive model after the Duetto Spider was discontinued in 1994. Alfa's 8C Competizione, which was built from 2007-2008, was too expensive for most Alfa buyers. The spider version of the 8C cost up to 213,000 euros.

The 4C was unveiled as a concept at the 2011 Geneva auto show. The two-seater has a central engine and is about 4 meters long with a 2.4-meter wheelbase. It will be powered by a new aluminum 4-cylinder 1.8-liter turbocharged direct- injection engine.

Alfa plans to make the 4C as light as possible at about 850 kg. At that weight, the 4C would have an impressive power-to-weight ratio below 4.0kg/hp.

Maserati built the 8C Competizione coupe for Alfa from 2007 to 2010.

Fiat chose Maserati to build the 8C because Alfa does not have the expertise to build low volume, hand-built models. The sports car maker was picked to produce the 4C for the same reason, sources said.
