A rare treat
Austria, in spite of a healthy UHNWI population is generally not a country for car spotting - most of what is on offer is sensible, mundane or at least understated.
Did manage to see 'the' most exciting production Alfa Romeo of the last decade recently, though and wanted to share it. 
While it was apparently never quite as good to drive as to look at, I would still claim this to be one of the most inspired use of marketing budget in the automotive world since the VW Beetle Lemon ads.

thats an 8c
Judging from the side grill, the shape of the side window and the spoiler (though partially blocked).
Not quite ;)
Been to Slovenia today, although we did have an Imperialtorte after lunch
8C from your picture is rare beast indeed
A dream car of mine Best "review" of it was by Clarkson in Top Gear Worth watching for every Alfa fan Thank you for this delight Best D
May have been the first time I have seen one live
They are exceedingly rare and truly breathtaking to look at. The first really special Alfas since the RZ and SZ. Although those were more of an acquired taste than conventionally beautiful.
I agree it is not completely pure
Nothing like the Tipo 33 Stradale or the Montreal but then again the last pure Alfa was probably the 75, so quite some time ago.
You've always been
purest of the pure my friend Hard core Alfista till the very end Chapeau D
I just wish Alfa
would pursue real cars again, rather than these vanity projects. I hope the new Guilia will be worthy...I have seen some components from it, but until a proper viewing and a drive occur, I am still sceptical.
Not sure one will come that quickly
Depends on how much room for maneuver remains after the saloon and the SUV are launched...
The only Alfa SUV
...I would even set foot in, let alone want to drive, is the Matta....which I have set foot in, but not driven. I understand the market forces that encourage this kind of development, but concentration on what is (or was) great about Alfa seems to me more...
Agree in principle
Alfa has wasted a lot of time with incomplete or unpolished products. The Mito is a disaster, Giulietta not competitive, Giulia - we can only hope At least the 8C did not detract from the regular R&D budget, the resources were taken straight out of a mark...
Well, it was a Dino
Did not have Ferrari branding, as Dino was supposed to be an entry level brand. The fact that it was only possible if Fiat used the engine, too, is hardly a downside. Tastes are personal but optically I consider both of the Fiat versions prettier than Fer...
Well, the 246 was really something, aesthetically.
Immortalized by The Persuaders. Best, Nicolas
No, sadly not.
Probably a bit before my time first time around but all the more fun to check it out now
I don't see
..the 246 Dino as a Ferrari. But it loses absolutely because of that. A 130 coupe would also be a car in my dream garage.
It is and was an instant classic
Such as shame that most modern cars are so boring nowadays...
+1
Sadly that is the case. For regular cars its pedestrian crash legislation, for supercars...
