No repost, this is the actual production version, and I am a hell of a lot interested in that.

E: And I seriously hope they have an option for a proper gearbox instead of that Paddle Shift bullshit. Didn't they learn anything from Maserati?

The link is to a concept car, this is the production version, if it is indeed a repost lock, I did a quick search and didnt find anything about the production version of this car. *shrugs*

Oh man, if that is the production version then Alfa have made me a very happy man - it's kept the incredible, seductive good looks of the concept. Oh yes, gimme gimme gimme.

Did I mention I think it's hot? Oh yes, it is.

Alright, I confess: I drooled over it many times but never had any hope it would be produced...now I can
dream.

Looks a bit out of proportion, but still a giant leap forward for Alfa Romeo's styling.

assume it'll be more than $130K, the current Gransport is over a 100K and this will likely be quite a bit more. I've heard reports as high as $200k!
thing is that it's a paddleshit images/smilies/mellow.gif hopefully they'll offer a manual
my opinion: id take it over the Gallardo and F430
