I am in favor of seeing more cars like this. Ideally cheaper.

"Deliveries of the sports car are expected to begin early next year." This does not include the US does it.

Also, I like the lights. The designers tried something new and I appreciate that.

Now, if only it didn't have the world's worst set of headlights...

One step away from the perfect car, Alfa. ONE GOD DAMN STEP.

Weighs less than my ex....Probably cheaper and easier to maintain too.

That means it will weigh $3062.69 which translates to 6.76lbs in one hundred dollar bills. Now that's weight reduction!

So easy to fix. I'll let it slide.

I'm so stoked about what this might mean for the Mazda partnership.

Actually, by my calculations , it's expected to be ~$43.50 per pound.

Must have mixed up my one dollar bills with my one hundred dollar bills lol.

The new GT3 is $41.56 per pound, for reference.

Now that gets me more excited than a nearly 4000lb car with 500HP. It would take nothing to make a car this light a freaking rocket.

Light makes right.

That'll definitely sway some Lotus buyers who think the Elise has gotten too heavy.

You can't hide those spiiiiider eyes/and your smiiiiile is a thin disguise/you'd thought by now you'd realiiiize/there ain't no way to hide those spider eyes.

And it would have been lighter still with a manual :(

Remove them altogether. More weight savings.

Indeed. Race tracks aren't open at night anyway.

Lotus better get their shit together.

And the Miata weighs 700 lbs more. That's an entire 426 Hemi's worth of weight added onto the car.

You realize if someone can extract an extra 100HP from that engine (via higher-RPM timing, E85/very clever turbo work, it definitely has more to give with those specs) you could drop fuel economy into the mid 20s, but end up with a P/W ratio better than a Ferrari 458 .

Yeah, sure. Lets weight it in the wet, ok Alfa?
