Vaffanculo! Alfa Romeo 4c Stupendo

The first shots of the Alfa Romeo 4C have been released, and it’s just as gorgeous as one would expect a mid-engined Alfa to be. A 1.75L turbocharged 4-cylinder and a 6-speed twin-clutch gearbox motivate the 4C. No horsepower rating has been released, but in current Alfas, the same engine makes 232 horsepower. We’ll have to wait for the car’s debut at the Geneva Auto Salon for more details.

    Just a quick note: Alfa Romeo e Stupend-A! You got right the "vaffanculo" and that was the harder part, bravo, but Alfa (and also "car") is female and therefore is stupend-A, not stupend-O ....

    Ever since the '57 Fords I've liked single, big round taillights.

  • Lorenzo The unspoken killer is that batteries can't be repaired after a fender-bender and the cars are totaled by insurance companies. Very quickly, insurance premiums will be bigger than the the monthly payment, killing all sales. People will be snapping up all the clunkers Tim Healey can find.
