Alfa Romeo 4C
I realized that there are some Italian car addicts here as well (next to mostly Suisse and German watch addicts)...
So the Italian contribution from my garage are two 4C - one for the track (a real lightweight) and one Spider for regular usage (full leather option etc).
This is to me the best sports car for race track available: very light with lots of horsepower, no assisted power steering, eating curves on the track like no other car... Having possessed and tracked several Porsche (including a 959 
), Audi R8 and other stuff I am pretty sure that to me there is no better offer available. Check them out whenever you have the chance to see/drive one.

not really a joy to drive, you have to be very careful in acceleration
that was at a time when you could get them used for 150,000 USD (I sold it after half a year)
I am sure your wallet wishes you had kept it for longer...
Same here with my Aquanaut and several others...
8C is beautiful and that is about it
just a heavy GT with lots of power bad handling; I was about to purchase a red/red 8C coupe in Paris some 7 years ago but did a test drive before flying in and parted from that idea With "better" I mean for track purpose and having fun in overtaking much ...
Race tool!
I heard that thing a couple of time screaming in Barcelona, crazy machine isn't it?! But that's all. Alfa Romeo does not sell over here, and who can get one, definitely buys expensive Volkswagen related cars (Audi, Porsche...) German technology is better ...
Bravo!
As a long-term Alfa fanatic, I've played approach/avoidance on the 4C since 2015. Now I notice there is a nice looking one on Bring A Trailer for a few more hours... Kent
This is actually my favourite Italian car bar none!
Yes call me bonkers but I have driven the 4C and much preferred it to the Ferrari California or Portofino. Despite some poor reviews on the 4C, I love this car as it is more compact and manageable than the super wide Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Maseratis. ...
Under rated masterpiece
This car is so much fun--cost no object. The concept is great..mazda miata light, but with a carbon tub, great brakes and no extra garbage (not even power steering). This car is an event to drive each and every time.
Many thanks to all
And I am happy to see that so many are accustomed to the 4C! It is no longer in production though....
The things I would be willing to do to get at least one 4C :D :D :D
Congrats on a beautiful duo. Ondrej
