It's easily the cheapest carbon fiber car on the market.

>>17034724
Not to mention the inside is all cheap plastic and if you are above 5 foot 7 you will feel cramped

>>17036464
So? Don't make it out of carbon fiber. Who gives a shit, it's not worth the MSRP.

>>17034724
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

>>17036719

Anon in forza motorsport car don't break down

>>17034724
Alfa is just shit overall.

The real question is why isn't there a 4C GT4?

>>17036889
>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

>>17034724
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?

>>17036944
>t. American unable to operate manual gearbox but for some reason he wants one in a sports car

>>17036969
The American version, to staying true to the domestic market, weights 200 pounds more than the European model.

>>17036695
But it is made out of carbonfibre...

>>17034724
so it's similarly in terms of price and performance to the cayman? what's the problem?

>>17036985
And it's artisan made from aeronautic grade carbon, manufactured by an Italian excellence company who build parts even for space ships

>>17036921
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

>>17036981
Kek

>>17036904
>they released a car which can actually compete for the first time in 20 years so brand is not shit overall!

>>17036992
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...

>>17037004
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

>>17037004
Explain this

All said by the Germans themselves.

>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?

>>17037170
>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

>>17037170
At least the us version won't kill u in a crash but it needs most poweeeer

>>17037017
>"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"

>>17038372
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.

>>17034724
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.
