The motoring press (or perhaps this crowd) advised of this about 5 years ago bit what we got was an 8C.  See how we go but why hold yoyr breath.

I would assume that Alfa Romeo would want to firstly produce the best road car and it can.  Racing etc would be a second, especially considering the fact that the new Giulietta is the car to make or break the marque.

Nothing readily available to comment on, post or refer to.  Too much speculation.

So is it going to be a new model, a one off for a German enthusist or privateer ?

It was on last month.  Moral here is do not believe everything you read.  How ever lots of more teasers to come.

From Geneva to Grand Hotel Villa d'Este and Villa Erba in Cernobbio, clear thinking gets the results. I can vouch for that now.
