I have only seen those online while daydreaming at the Alfa website. I gotta hear more about the actual experience of driving one.

A bit like driving an older (late 80’s early 90’s) super car. Very rigid, its a carbon fiber monocoque, totally manual steering, you can feel everything, I can tell the sex of road kill if I run over it. Race exhaust , no mufflers at all, yea, I don’t know how they sell it that way either, makes all sorts of wonderful noises, the rush of air going into thr turbo 241/2 lbs of boost, the blowoff valve going off when you let off the gas,when going up through the gears, DCT, it retards the the air/fuel for a moment so you don’t have to let up on the gas when you shift up, making a lound farting noise,rev matching on the down shifts.the car handles phenomenally , from 0-100 (top speed 160) it’s an absolute beast. Really sucks getting in and out of, once in though, all is good
