"Alfa Romeo unlikely to renew the 4C

The Alfa Romeo 4C is undoubtedly an interesting little mid-engined coupe/roadster that makes use of a small but effective turbocharged engine.

Sadly, it costs over R1-million and many people feel that is simply too much money for a car with only 177 kW. So, it has seen disappointing sales figures since its release in 2013.

According to AutoForecast Solutions, the Italian manufacturer has scrapped any chance of a next-generation 4C for both the coupe and the roadster shapes.

Alfa Romeo admits that it did not expect to move many units, but even with these low expectations, it was unable to meet its targets, with only 309 models being sold this year so far. Sales for the car will continue until its scheduled end in 2020.

This buying trend is reflected in the South African market as well, with the last 4C here being sold here in the first quarter. Not a single unit has been bought over the past three months."

Sadly too little car, too much money and to make matters worse the value of the rand.
 
GFV after 24 months. Wonder what T&C's they have on this? But 12500 a month is abit much if they aiming at the middle income.
 
I've seen a couple of these around the Midrand area specifically. Interesting little car, but at R1.2m, I'd much rather be looking at something from Porsche.
