Alfa Romeo may launch a mid-engine supercar before going the full-electric route.
reported this week that Alfa Romeo is planning to reveal a supercar concept shortly and will follow with a limited production run should demand be sufficient.
The supercar would not only bid farewell to the internal-combustion engine but also provide a link with Alfa Romeo's current Formula 1 efforts, according to the magazine. Speaking with CAR in January, Alfa Romeo CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato said he'd like to one day see a modern take on the 33 Stradale of the 1960s as well as a modern Spider convertible. Apparently the modern Spider is already locked in as a future electric vehicle. Could the modern 33 Stradale be the supercar?Alfa Romeo as recently as 2018 was planning to launch a modern 8C supercar powered by the twin-turbocharged 2.
The supercar was to be a mid-engine machine with a carbon-fiber monocoque chassis and a powertrain consisting of the twin-turbo V-6 for the rear axle and an electric drive system for the front. Combined output was to be more than 700 hp, or enough for 0-60 mph acceleration in under 3.0 seconds.
