Tbh that law should be exempt for cars like this!

In Italy they dont have them, but over here you get a plastic plinth like on the brera, mito, spider etc that screws to the bumper.. looks gash!

Im gunna have to disagree with everyone.

Thats ugly. Plus it doesnt look like a supercar, it doesnt aparently drive like a supercar and costs almost double the price of a gallardo/430.

It's lovely, but agree with most of what jambo says, if it were for sale at £60k then it'd be a different story.

I think your missing the point it's one of 500 iirc it's never going to depreciate as it's so rare

it's a 4.7 v8 too producing 450bhp with the body being made of carbon fibre too

I think they are missing the point, if it was an amazing car then it would maybe just about justify being that expensive (and only because it's a limited run, because it's still an alfa at the end of the day **awaits flaming from top gear bummers**)

It will depriciate, alot.

Zagato thingies can be had for sub £20k now IIRC and that was the last similar car!


The design looks "cheap" The ride height is wrong, the back eng looks like it has the diffuser from a clio 197 and it just looks wrong.

If i had never heard of it and you asked me how much that cost, my absoloute MAXIMUM guess would be £40k. It doesnt look like its worth more than that.

There are loads of 'rare' cars that are worth fuck all. Merc R-class? There has to be less than 500 of them things.

I forgot to mention aswell, you don't just come along and buy it, you have to be aproved to buy it by Alfa Romeo

I think that's mainly to stop footballers buying them and letting real car enthusiasts/collectors own them
