Try this with a 4.2 or 4.7 Maserati V8

If Alfa really wanted to push the boundaries I would go for this without a moment's hesitation if it was rear wheel drive and housed a Maserati V8

dont like the front and the side looks z4, if they had maser v8 with rear wheel it will be a seller but if it had alfas v6 that under performs with front wheel drive itll be just another spyder

No way Dem......Im going to buy you some eye wash..........I think that this is Alfa through and through although I do agree if it ends up with some awful Chrysler V6, or a silly 2.2 litre or even worse a horrible diesel it will just be another nail in Alfa's coffin

Hum, its an exercise in design, I dont thing it will make it in that guise...nobody has to balls to take the risk these days. I do like the individual elements of it, but put them all together and its all a bit too much. The dont show you the boot view that I have seen before and that bit does not work.

Great idea, and maybe we will see some of its design ques in future models

Check out the rear bumper, reminds me of the GTV the way it angles upwards from under the car.

After reading your thread Matt , surprising how i found myself looking down her cleavage rather than at the car, i'd seen it anyway at Geneva the car ,not her cleavage that is

Agree with UM..That would sell like hot cakes. A very modern looking car and very pretty. But as Matt said it will just never see the light of day.

when i said the side looks like a z4 that aint a bad thing, just think they will produce something like that with a 2.2 or v6 then it wont do it justice, i would have bought the brera if they put 8c engine in or got more power out the v6 but as it is cant justify 30k, maybe now they 10k but def not new

Think we all agree with the engine thing Dem.....Alfa has always been known for great styling and engines with character but over the last 10 years or so the engines have got slightly dull and lost character and are just not powerful enough.
