i love the way it looks, but it's waaay too much money.

how big is it? it looks a similar size to a merc slk or bmw z3. needed to be more z8 sized to justify anything over £50k imo.

I don't think they can afford to be picky at that price.

All those people in pic 1 are staring at you .
Looks really nice, left hand drive
Doesn't look the price though, one thing I don't like is the reverse light on the right and the fog light on the left, surely they could have done something a bit less "cheap".

Exactly nobody would be so silly to spend £180k on an Alfa Romeo!!

just think at what else you can get for 180K

i agree with jambo tbh, also i thought that to pass an MOT in the UK the rear fog light had to be either central or to the off side?

That's odd, I was thinking about the z8 when I was reading this! There's a comparisson in there somewhere but I can't be assed thinking about it

i know what you mean, it's like alfa's version of the z8 (exotic roadster for rich people), but smaller.

it's not swanky if it's not a 'big' car imo.

it's left hand drive so the lights are the wrong way round.

never knew they had to be the right way round, just realised that it's different on my car.

It will loose money, just like any other supercar will at the moment. The supercar market is on its arse - you would be mad to buy a new one from any marque at the moment...

It looks ok, not 170k nice though.... its no match for a porsche 911 turbo cab, 430 spider, gallardo spider etc and they are a hell of a lot less to buy new.

Fucking how much?!

Just because it's rare doesn't mean they can command that sort of price IMO. Nice car, sure. But for that money I'd be looking at DBS's, just as rare, and nicer.

Front end's a mess, side profile is nothing special and the wheels don't suit it. Not a fan at all.

174k seems a little excessive when it looks like about 27k's worth of car.

I don't like it. doesn't look like its had much time spent on it at all. Looks really bland down the sides. It looks like a supercar version of a kia.

Hard top is pretty, especially in black or that candy red and with the right wheels.

Minus the roof and in the wrong colour with terrible wheels it looks bloody awful.
like it!!
