>ties with a cayman on the track
>cloth seats standard
>yellow exterior, mandatory leather seats (2 of them) $4k extra

Priced one out, not all the options, just the larger wheels. $60,000 before TTnL..........
Look, it's pretty. But that is fucking crazy. No wonder I rarely see them in the wild.

It's easily the cheapest carbon fiber car on the market.
Not to mention the inside is all cheap plastic and if you are above 5 foot 7 you will feel cramped
So? Don't make it out of carbon fiber. Who gives a shit, it's not worth the MSRP.
A Cayman also won't break down every time you take it for a drive
its for the people who want a lotus but think a lotus is too cheap and not special snowflake enough
its probably not that bad but the fact theres no manual option is a sin
user in forza motorsport car don't break down
Alfa is just shit overall.
The real question is why isn't there a 4C GT4?
>fox and grapes/10
Don't forget its complete lack of power steering, which is fine in a 600-700kg track car, but fucking retarded on something that weighs 1200kg by the time it's full of fuel and people
Also,
>carbon fibre chassis
>still weighs more than the miats/124
Stop being poor
You also didn't mention it doesn't come with a stick. Just a bunch of buttons where the stick should be and flappy paddles.
This might be the worst car to daily.
>something that weighs 1200kg by the time it's full of fuel and people
A liter of fuel weights 0,78 kg at worst, so do the math according to tank size.
An average American weights 200 kg? So 400 extra kg of occupants?
>t. American unable to operate manual gearbox but for some reason he wants one in a sports car
The American version, to staying true to the domestic market, weights 200 pounds more than the European model.
But it is made out of carbonfibre...
so it's similarly in terms of price and performance to the cayman? what's the problem?
And it's artisan made from aeronautic grade carbon, manufactured by an Italian excellence company who build parts even for space ships
shouldnt be a problem my 2200lb manual steering civic is no problem, and it probably has at least as much weight on the front wheels as a mid engine 4c. VW beetles weigh about 1800lbs and have a manual steering box but the steering is so light its as easy as power steering thanks to the weight distribution

>they released a car which can actually compete for the first time in 20 years so brand is not shit overall!
That nigger op doesn't understand simple economic laws such as scale economies.
The Cayman has been produced in way bigger numbers than the limited semi artigianal produced 4C.
Of course the 4C costs more...
KYS useless hater
Alfa Romeo has never been garbage in the latest 30 years as some of (you)'s say here.
Especially if you're American you're not entitled to say anything because you never saw an Alfa in your entire pathetic existence
>895 kg (1,973 lb) (dry)
>1,050 kg (2,315 lb) (dry) (USA)
Why is the American version so fat compared to the rest?
What cars that feature a carbon fiber frame are cheaper?
>According to Pierallini, the weight gain is due to aluminum inserts in the carbon fiber chassis, as well as additional gas tank and fuel line protection, and equipment to meet U.S. emission standards.

It has been cucked by us laws
At least the us version won't kill u in a crash but it needs most poweeeer
>"I'm perfectly willing to be ripped off for a car that should cost $40k max because I think it's some special piece of shit"
But it is, as it's a car with a limited production and partially hand made.
The same thing could not be said about the Cayman that, also, has different trims and models, making that a not so unique car because of that.
>$40k max
You're a massive idiot, kys.
The idea was to build a Miata on steroids with a yuge budget. Unfortunately it ended up with a DCT auto only, no manual option offered.
Lap times be damned if they're selling a feels car that will only appeal to enthusiasts, they should've included stick.
