Amazingly sexy

you rather it has a v6 of the same capacity ?

>reasonably priced (sort of)

just think about what you could afford for the same price

It could have been a modern classic with a proper manual.

Absolutely correct. Looking at the way the car industry is heading, a manual in exotic cars is becoming rare.

Just look at the 911R - it's sold out already and owners are selling them privately at enormous return.

>4c
>895kg
Maybe when it's dryest than the desert it will weigh that much Tony. Normal weight is in the 1050s.

You have to be over 18 years old to post in this site.
Also I trust more a company that actually has 4 major racing programmes right now, compared to a company that clings in their pre war history and claims "muh soul" and "muh passion".

>alfa romeo

LoL stopped reading there

The point isn't that its carbon fibre, I don't give a shit what its made from, the point is its super, super lightweight.

A sub 1000kg car having no power AND a dual clutch is just stupid

>reasonably priced (sort of)
not at all. it's a light 4 banger without any comfort and paddle shift.
just buy an e30 from your local scrap yard instead.

...

Yes, but (for some) carbon fiber is supposed to "justify" the insane price. It does not.

For me it's a downside.

Shit like an E92 M3 isn't a crazy expensive car to buy, but it only takes some hobo to throw a brick at your precious carbon fibre roof and your car is a write off.

>strting at 72k
>4 cylinders
>more expensive than a Cayman S
is this a joke?

>4 cylinder engine
>paddle shift only
These aren't problems. The only problem is the price. And maybe the lack of power steering.

It literally needs to be half of its RRP for me to consider it.

>Shit like an E92 M3 isn't a crazy expensive car to buy
IKR. I've been jacking off to that car lately, it's becoming relatively affordable. Can't wait to finally get a proper job and ditch my good old TT for the E92 M3.

Just make sure it's a manuel.

Oh, that's for sure. Always drove manual cars, always will.

But it already goes 0-60 in what, 4.8 seconds? Why does it need more power?

Why is a turbo 4 banger and a halfway decent DCT a dealbraker for you benchracers? Have you never driven one?

>m-muh feels
this wasn't a car marketed towards your feels.

Should have been manual only with a 240 HP Busso V6.

Would be better as a 2 liter.
Needs manual.

Shame, it'll be an extremely rare exotic after production ends and prices will be sky high.
But as an automatic they're crippling it.

0-60 isn't a good measure of a cars performance in the real world.

>Muh passion
>muh feels
>muh emotions

Well obviously, the fact that I had to take it back to the shop 3 times in 6 months was a better one.
>yes, I leased one
But the statement didn't say "performance in the real world" it just said "it needs more power to justify DCT"
Protip - DCT actually helps performance in the real world.

>bench racers
>on my Veeky Forums

You drive a car to have fun, sound and power delivery is part of that.

>it's faster to tow your car with an American made crossover than to actually drive it
youtube.com/watch?v=7_jUmqnDAIc

If you buy a 75k car just to have fun there's no helping you, benchracer or not.

>manual power steering
>automatic transmission

""""lap times""""

It's a car to be driven for fun not setting lap times. Same as an RS3 is faster than an M135i around a track but 99% of Veeky Forums'ists would take the BMW.

Protip, the car may have a sub 5 second 0-60 time, but would get insanely badly smoked by barge super saloon with 400bhp over any race longer than 50 yards.

???

What possible purpose does an Alfa 4C serve other than as a toy?

>manual power steering
What did he mean by this?

Yeah, and those barges have less than half the MPG of the 4C, as the 4C is the living definition of a compromise.

It's a status symbol and a literal meme.
Not all toys need to be trashed.

Steering where the power assist is powered by you cranking it manually with a handle in the cabin rather than being powered by the engine.

...

>supercar
>slightly faster 0-60 than something 35 years old
What a fucking faggot

thats like the perfect engine for it

I laugh at you simps that have never owned or driven a proper DCT car yet dismiss it as some sort of manufacturing oversight. Yes, they built these wonderful cars and threw in paddles because they wanted the car to fail. If you don't know the purpose of paddles then rest assured you can still be a man while holding on to a mechanical phallus to get you to where you are going.
> don't feel like a man without a dick in my hand

>caring about fuel economy on a (((performance))) car
>buying a car for status

Let me guess you drive a rebadged 320d?

people who defend stickshift are just backwards

theyll hopefully come around eventually

>not understanding the point
The point is for you to have something with supercar styling, what your normie ass thinks is supercar performance and supercar aesthetics for less than half the price, as well as getting a good enough gas range (Fucker gets 40 mpg. FORTY) to make it considerable for daily driving.
Unfortunately it's too fragile for American roads.

Samefag please leave, shows over you've been caught.

And it costs WAY too much for what it actually offers. Seriously, for that money you just get a nice used REAL supercar.

So the car would be better or worse if it had a turbocharged inline 6 and a manuel?

just because Im bored enough to prove you wrong

my only other post itt until now was stickshift is for luddites

Oh, yes, let's inherit someone else's abused supercar for 70k.
It totally won't break the bank in repairs, and it's totally not like people generally get rid of the supercars right after the warranty goes out right?
Or do you not spend much time on Rennslist?

The same way the GT-R would be better if it had a turbo inline 6 and a manual.

> stupidfag you're a cunt
> your mommy is ready to drive you down to the mall, don't forget your vape

they should have gone to 300 hp
but maybe their auto weight less than a manual

My mommy can't even drive bro.

What's the obsession with manual, it's shit.

>t. nigger

Also, waste of Hitler's dubs.

Tell us please, I'm wondering what else could you buy for the same amount of money with a full artigianal grade carbon tub and assembled by Maserati.

>full artigianal grade carbon tub
Here we go, muh carbon.
Told ya.

>m-muh carbon!

because when you look at the expensive end of the sports car market the majority want dct instead of manual.
this is backed up by plenty of empirical data.
and alfa stopped making the busso v6 because emissions so there wasn't any point in going with another v6 for the target of 240hp

...

I'm still waiting for the amazing alternative.

Impress me

Way to miss the point entirely you gaping anus.

Costs $70k and has the same power to weight as a Miata while being heavier.
I don't get it.

It's Shit to drive on the highway or on the road or in the city. Unless you plan on spending 70,000US to just take it on the track. Other than that it's Shit.

do you guys think there's some corrupt scientist at fiat headquarters who uses a bunch of phony tests to come up with their curb weight numbers, or do a bunch of people in a boardroom just get together and settle on a lie

Its obviously planned
Didnt they withhold info on the weight for a long ass time?

Like the gtr it's just a meme car whose only purpose is godly track times, and if an auto paddle cuck transmission gets faster times so be it. If it wasn't nothing more than a track weapon, and something you could more easily drive on the street, lack of a manual would be a fucking problem.

That does not excuse fagorty like shitting on manuals by bus riders and mom's camry drivers. Manipulating a clutch is at least 30% of what makes driveing fun, and not just something you have to do. Shitting on them can only mean you have no frame of refrence, and your so petty and stupid you have to defend you ignorant position instead of finding out why everyone else has a different opinion than you.

I wouldn't mind a bit slower acceleration if it means I get to row the gears myself.
