Great video, I liek the comment "It isn't an exact comparison..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ioM4VGiPzg One thread stated that due to DOT/EPA there will be no Alfa 4C coupes for the USA in 2016 Great article 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C & 1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GT - Road Comparo (w/video)
From the Carrara marble quarry where Michelangelo would choose the marble for his sculptures Local dealer has been getting Porshe Cayman GT4s in and saw this one being delivered, sounds great, more like a miniature Scuderia with its modern raspy exhaust notes Image Unavailable, Please Login
I recently drove a 4C and I loved it. It reminded me a lot of my old 430 Scuderia but a baby version. I really enjoyed driving the 4C!
The Alfa distributor unfortunalately collapsed here a decade ago, so no 4C. That would have been an interesting back-to-first-principles sports car. In he meantime, I should be able to pick up the new 2-liter, manual MX5 I ordered next week. Lighter and shorter than the original MX5, the new model says Mazda is pointed in the right direction. I hope Alfa succeeds sigh the 4C.
But the Alfa is not mid engined ... that was one of the big revelations of the Dino and the risk for Ferrari which believed their 12 cylinder cars could overcome layout lackings with engine power. The Dino was counter to that idea
Thank you, although that sure looks over the rear axle not between them like the Dino. In driving through corners, does it push much?
It's just the angle of the photo. The wheelbase is very compact and engine is ahead of the rear axle. There is no real push in corners as the weight distribution is good. It is a lot of fun to drive. Here are a couple more pics showing the layout and the chassis. It wouldn't be that difficult for Ferrari to use the same carbon tub, lengthen the wheelbase and fit a six cylinder out back to make the new Dino.
