More and more insistent rumors that some damage now for the presentation della4C GTA alSalone Geneva 2011 and its serial production by the end of 2012. The mysterious concept of the Alfa would be the spiritual heir of the legendary Route 33 at the end of the sixties, which he will be back in style and architecture with rear engine, not without technologies such as hi-tech carbon fiber body and 1750 engine TBI.
A cocktail of technical refinements that is already expected numbers of your dreams: more than 250 hp for less than 850 kg total weight, for a power to weight ratio much lower than that of a Cayman and comparable only with that of the Lotus Exige. The body, two-seater coupe, it would take more cues from the 8C Competizione that Highway 33, but still propose something extreme.
The basic fact should be a carbon frame handmade in Italy by Dallara, similar to the KTM X-Bow but comes with aluminum mounts for the front and rear shock absorption. On the same basis, but with body open boat, it should be born in a later model designer Abarth. According to reports both would be assembled in Turin, perhaps at Mirafiori, with plans to produce 15/20 5 000 Abarth and Alfa thousand within 5 years.
The final price is expected to remain below the threshold of 50 000 €, not many considering the structure in high-grade materials and the long processes that it requires almost homemade. The 4C GTA will definitely not allow the car to Alfa Romeo to make cash, but it could give an important image return in the period in which to debut the new Giulia and the first crossover / SUV Alfa.
Especially in view of the great return to the States, a market described as "critical" by Marchionne for the future of the Italian brand. The official confirmation is expected at the Swiss exhibition, which will open in a few hours.
