gotta defend the oddball cars that are different...or else we would all be interested in E30s and driving S2000s and Accords. Boring. Be different.

It is not terribly fast, no. But it sounds amazing as it goes along, and it isnt heavy at all and drives well. Harry drove one, watch his vid.

I think it is a tad rich, yes. But it is a very limited edition Lancia with many innovations and a lot of work to get a Ferrari V8 to work in it in an age when super sedans were not very common at all. I like it for collector’s sake and how it fits into Italian car history.

oh I understand, I would rather have a Maserati QP if I wanted a Ferrari V8 in a 4 door. But this is a classic, has many innovations, and is a collector’s special. It is special, and only will matter to those who care about it.

...but they all sound like garbage. Listen to a vid of that Ferrari engine in motion. It is menacing. Worth every penny.

Harry’s Garage - he drove one and liked it. Harry knows what he is talking about.

Well, in that case....still no.

Well then you have no idea what you are driving then. This thing rips and sounds like an earthquake driving along. I have been in one, they are so mean.

It is expensive everywhere. Rare Lancia with Ferrari engine. It will be expensive.

These are expensive cars. Everywhere. They are stupid rare and classics.

The 8.32 IS special though...stupid rare and it has a Ferrari engine in a family sedan...

OK, find one that is cheaper once you imported it. Go ahead..I will wait.

LOL you want to swap out the Ferrari engine? GTFO.

The asking price is not crazy. Look what they are worth in Europe and Japan, the two places you import these. They are expensive.

Oh good god NP. This is a dream car. Fantastic Q car with an amazing sounding engine. Perfect for a summer car Sunday driver.

Yes, their Twin Cam was a known engine. A long time ago. I said since the early 70s. The Busso V6 was their legendary performance engine that they put in everything high performance since the GTV6. A screaming V6 in the QV 4C would harken back to the DTM days when the 155 beat the Mercs and BMWs...or the GTV6 won

A screaming NA V6 is exactly what Alfa Romeo is all about. Has been since the early 70s. The 2.9 V6 is a very light engine to start with, especially without turbos.

Wrong all over the place, sorry. No, the 4C never has and never will (sadly) have a manual gearbox unless you swap one in. The V6 is a 2.9, not a 3.0, in the Giulia QV. The turbo 4 in the 4C is a 1.75, not a 2.0.

Needs a manual and a NA version of the Giulia’s V6. There, QV version done right.

to voice my opinion, obviously
