Alfa Romeo 4C Weighs 1,973 Lbs Find out how?

Cool, but that is the most obnoxious site I've ever visited. If Alfa's badge is a Shamrock, why are some workers wearing the Trident of Maserati on their shirts? I've just gotta start playing the lottery.

Lovely car, but it sure reminds me of a Lotus Evora. I look forward to reading the road tests tho, like JohnK, from a financial standpoint, my interest is purely theoretical.

Hmmm , John i think you need to read up on Alfa. The Alfa badge is actually based on the coat of arms of the Visconti family and the emblem of Milan, With a wreath around it to celebrate race wins etc etc etc. Changed many times over the years and worth a read. The "shamrock" your referring to is actually a 4 leaf clover not a 3 and is called a Quadrifoglio. It is found on Alfa race cars (and these days denotes power and trim levels) and was introduced after the death of a racer back when Enzo Ferrari was working for Alfa.

As for the Masser shirts , well its being made at the Modena factory of Maserati. Remember the Fiat group own many of these brands.

Some great history worth reading with these Italian makers.
