$110k? Get stuffed. Sure, an Elise/Exige might not look as interesting as that, but at almost half the price, there are plenty of other lightweight coupes that wont spontaneously combust when they feel like it, haha!

They don't quite have the mid engine four cylinder market to themselves!
There is still lotus as competition.

There was a beautiful red Alfa 4C at Auto Italia in Canberra on Sunday, the first one I have seen, it did not disappoint. Now that Fiat/Bertone dont make the X19 & Toyota dont make MR2's it should have the four cylinder rear engine sports car market to its self, it sells for a lot less than a Porsche Boxster.

The wait for Alfa Romeo's 4C is almost over with the Italian brand confirming pricing and specifications ahead of its arrival in local showrooms next month.

The baby Italian supercar has been delayed for over 12 months due to its popularity in Europe - as well as spearheading the revival of the brand in North America - causing production constraints for right-hand drive variants at the Maserati factory where it is built.

Alfa Romeo 4C

But the lightweight carbon-fibre car is finally due to land here in
February with a starting price of $89,000 plus on-road costs.
Alfa's Australian arm has also managed to secure a limited batch of 75 'Launch Edition' models that bring a host of upgraded parts within its $109,000 (plus on-roads) asking price.

Among the modifications for the 'Launch Edition' is race-tuned suspension, matte black alloys, a sports exhaust, revised front bumper, Bi-LED headlights and numerous pieces of carbon fibre exterior and interior trim.

Both models are powered by a 1.75-litre turbo charged four cylinder that produces 177kW and 350Nm and drives the rear wheels through a six-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Alfa claims the 4C can sprint from 0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds.
