Yahoo Autos Alfa Romeo’s Next Five Years: A New GTV, 8C, and More
Assuming Alfa Romeo’s latest five-year plan stays on track-the brand’s return to the U.S. market was rife with delays, and its previous five-year agenda quickly went off the rails-it’ll be an ambitious time for the Italian carmaker. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) outlined its designs on Alfa Romeo at its 2018 Capital Markets Day, and, predictably, there are new SUVs on the agenda as well as the spicy-sounding 600-hp-plus GTV coupe and the mid-engined 8C sports car. We’ve laid out Alfa’s future (through 2022) model by model for you below:
4C: The small mid-engined sports car will die because its fancy carbon-fiber monocoque chassis cannot meet certain upcoming safety requirements. READ MORE >>
8C: A mid-engined sports car built on a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis. It will feature a twin-turbocharged engine that will combine with an electrified front axle for more than 700 horsepower. READ MORE >>
