But it's in Dutch. Sorry. English synopsis: great new direction for Alfa and a no compromise driver's car.
Handling is agile to the point of being tiring. The light front end is constantly hunting for curves. The rear end has way more grip than the engine can unstick. Not a drift car.
Engine: great power to weight ratio, but could be more aggressive. Too much turbo-lag; 'like a two stage missile'. Plenty of scope for tuning, so expect more bhp later.
Gearbox; OK as far as flappy paddles go, but not as good as the best (i.e. Porsche PDK)
And those compound bugeye headlights? They're a few kilos lighter than conventional ones...

No powersteering... Interesting... Don't think I read that anywhere yet!
But that engine sounds money.

It does, doesn't it?
There seems to be no power anything; even the engine cover release is purely mechanical, and the prop is just an old timey rod- no gas strut.

Now, let them make a Alfa Romeo 4C Abarth!
