    This cinematography is better than any other car vlogs channel

    Do you think they should make a Alfa Romeo 4C Quadrifoglio with the 2.9 V6?

    • @Gavownian
      @Gavownian 7 років тому +5

      I thought the exact same thing when I first saw the Giulia QF. Would that engine even fit in the 4C?

    • @joshhoward502
      @joshhoward502 7 років тому +64

      Gavin Keaty then it would be a 6c

    • @fundiver198
      @fundiver198 7 років тому +41

      Thats way to much power for a 950 kg car. More realistically they could give it the 2,0 liter turbo petrol from the Giulia to replace this older 1,75 liter.

    • @larsheuchemer671
      @larsheuchemer671 7 років тому +2

      fundiver198 they can down tune the engine. Lotus made the Exige V6 with the Elise as a basis. Alfa can make a performance version of the 4C like the Exige

    • @jjp9595
      @jjp9595 7 років тому +8

      Lars Heuchemer it's my dream to do that. Take an Alfa 4C Spider.
      Get the latest Pagani Carbon Fibre bodywork (replace the crap CFRP with the REAL lightweight stuff)
      Create a carbon Targa hardtop for it (spider is a shitty soft top)
      Replace all bolts and struts with titanium / carbon ones just like the Huayra for extra lightness.
      Engine: Giulia/Ferrari F154 2.9V6T with Koenigsegg FreeValve and FlexFuel E85 Ethanol ECU. Will make 650-700bhp or more because of their excellent technologies. Engine mounted Longitudinally unlike the current 4C transverse layout
      Gearbox: ZF8HP Gen 2 or whatever the best is by then. Steering wheel will stay the same style as the 4C but adopt Giulia flappy paddles. Gauge Cluster will be changed from Digital back to Giulia Style
      And there you go! The baby LaFerrari. Yes it will cost shitloads of money but it will be beautiful, special and visceral. Imagine a car about 800kg with 700bhp. That's more power to weight than a LaFerrari!
      (How I got to 800kg was take the 4C Kerb of 895kg remove weight for FreeValve, Pagani Carbon and Titanium Chassis, Sound deadening and useless crap like the radio, and add the little bit of extra weight for the slightly bigger gearbox and engine - this is just an estimate!)

    • @izzelyy3189

    • @Lukeyy19
      @Lukeyy19 7 років тому

      Matt Mellor - I thought they were alright other than maybe not getting the timing of the pan/tilt correct to get the car in shot at the right moment a couple of times.

    Can tell youre such a genuine car enthusiast, first the 4c, then the abarth biposto - such characteristic cars that show you have some real authentic taste as opposed to others who just like lamborghini aventadors

  • @ProjectFairmont
    @ProjectFairmont 5 років тому +7

    Fix is what Germans do and strip character. The 4c is so responsive, fun, and refined just enough. Magnifico!

    • @Spartan168
      @Spartan168 4 роки тому

      Except it has a strut rear suspension and no manual. The car is a complete and utter failure and the sales show this.

    • @ProjectFairmont
      @ProjectFairmont 4 роки тому +1

      Anthony oh yes, a failure because you dismiss out of hand. Struts are bad but manuals are great. Technology is confusing huh? Clearly you have never driven one.

    • @Spartan168
      @Spartan168 4 роки тому

      S Schroeder huh? I’m saying the car isn’t as successful as it could have been, mainly because it doesn’t have a manual. The struts certainly don’t help. Carbon tub but not double wishbones all around? Seems like an odd corner to cut after spending money on the carbon tub. You’re the one who’s confused here

  • @davieman3443
    @davieman3443 7 років тому +1

    I drove a 2015 model 4C last week and didn't experience any steering issues, which I was surprised after reading many reviews. It doesn't have the feel of a Lotus (nothing does!) but still has more feel than 95% of other cars. It's a shame they didn't make these changes before the journalists got their hands on it.

  • @RobertKarlBerta
    @RobertKarlBerta 7 років тому +1

    Have had my 4C LE coupe for a year. The suspension alignment on mine was already realigned before I picked it up at my request. No issues at all. love the car and it impresses every time I drive it. Handles fine. Some people put in some spacers known as Jamies Blocks and swear by them. I know several fellow 4C owners and we track them and they are bullet proof for that.
    As far as manual vs. DC....there is a reason why all the exotic car companies are going with paddle shifts. Faster and just as much control as a manual...many companies report that it is very hard to sell manuals and are taking them out of their option list.. Once you drive a DC auto and learn how to use it you won't see much reason to go back to a manual....and I drove one for years both in previous sports cars and SCCA race cars. I look at it like hand cranking your car years ago. When it became dinosaur engineering and was replaced by electric starters I don't think too many people wanted to go back to cranking their cars. When F1 cars, Ferrari, BMW, Lambo, Porsche, etc, use them it is pretty obvious they have an advantage.

    • @davieman3443
      @davieman3443 7 років тому

      Hi, I test drove a 4C last week and the steering was absolutely fine. I really liked it and have decided to buy one later this year. Does Jamie's blocks improve the feedback even further? I see he also offers a 280 bhp remap. Any experience of that?

  • @mattharvey78

    • @verynormalman
      @verynormalman 7 місяців тому

      Bizarrely, that would have made it more heavy, and the double clutch actually is pretty good. It really feels like an F1 car, obviously of old. Current F1 cars are more like lorries than cars.

  • @timothysfather5496
