It’s got more than a Ferrari steering system. It’s got the same engine as a Ferrari Daytona (minus two cylinders), but in a car that only costs around $80k. Plus, you get that legendary Alfa reliability and unique ergonomic design.

A Ferrari Daytona had a V-12.

The Alfa has a V-6.

12-6=6 fewer cylinders.

It has a twin turbo engine with half the cylinders of a Ferrari Daytona. Now THAT was a bad ass car back in the day.

Your gutless snark is duly noted.

btw, I never posted anything about the reliability of Alfa - the Ford/GM suckers simply had no other defense for their long failed designs.

Clearly, the Ford/GM suckers are enthralled with a car than can go fast...but only straight. LOL!

ARGQ =
Engineered by the same man who gave us the Ferrari 458
Ferrari (California T/Portofino) engine
Ferrari steering system
Ferrari engineering
...and a hell of a lot better styling than Ford/GM
