This is how Alfa goes into its new year, gorgeously!

What a beautiful front end to a stunning overall look. While BMW came up with the G80M3. Why?

Unfortunately it’s irrelevant due to the 500 limited production. If it was an M3CS competitor it would have been

solstice · 04-25-2020, 03:58 PM

With that rear wing though it better be GT-R fast not to be silly...

IndotagSwizz · 04-25-2020, 04:04 PM

That Alpha looks dated already

Yeah I know but here’s to hoping the aggressive styling cues get incorporated in the 2021 Giulia Quadrifoglio model. It blows me away Alfa brings this and BMW brings that. It leaves me scratching my head?

Two versions are offered based on the video. The M version with roll cage, wing and harness, seem a bit much for the roads as it did on the GTS. But the non M GTA version is a nice combo of “almost over the top” Italian flare.

Subaru called...they want their rear wing back.

Yeah the GTAm is certainly track focused, the non M version has a much more subdued trunk wing that is nicely integrated. For some reason all these sport car manufacturers have started going back to a big silly wing, but again appropriate in most cases for the track. But why does Subaru even bother?

You're so right! I think for Subaru it appeals to their target "demographic".

I was really disappointed when I found out that the fire coming out of the tail pipes was a photoshop job.

I guess I am in the minority, but I think this thing looks a little hideous. I liked the Alfa when it came out, but the execution of this GTA is just not working for me.

I was never a big fan of the Giulia design anyway, but this looks just too much like a heavily modded car, absolutely not my taste. But on the other side, I'm sure it's a hell of a track car.

Agreed... like a heavily modded car from the 15 years ago nonetheless. I'm pretty sure I could get a body kit for a Mazda 6 and have it look something along these lines.

Pass, let's glue on a bunch of shit to an overpriced Alfa.

Did they F up the design or what. I wouldn't be caught driving that silly thing.

Humdizzle · 04-28-2020, 01:40 AM

did a kid playing need for speed design this ?

paliknight · 04-28-2020, 03:06 AM

For GT3RS money I'd rather get a GT3RS

yco · 04-28-2020, 06:20 AM

the point should be selling these as much as they can.. yes there are Alfa lovers around the world called Alfist or something like that but keep it only 500 is ridiculous...

shortseller · 04-28-2020, 09:48 AM

So much hate on the site for an Alfa.

The purpose of this post was to show what evolution Alfa is giving its customers as compared to what BMW is giving us, the G80M.

Here’s to hoping the new G series M is not as ugly as anticipated.
