AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/10 Report--

With the recent merger of the FCA and PSA groups, Alfa Romeo, as part of the recovery plan, has also revised its previous five-year plan, meaning that the group will only launch high-margin models in the future, and "unpopular" models such as the ALAF 4C will be cancelled.

The car was officially launched in 2013 and is positioned as a two-door, two-seat sports car with a mid-mounted rear-drive layout. the carbon fiber single shell body brings strong body stiffness and makes it the lightest sports car in the world with only 895kg. The official 0-100km/h acceleration of the 1.7T turbocharged engine is only 4.5s.

Despite its excellent performance and classically elegant appearance, the model sells for as much as $58900 (about $412000), a high price for a niche sports car. because its competitors are only some steel gun models, it was withdrawn from the US market in 2018.

Previously, Alfa Romeo plans to launch a new sports car in 2020. As the successor to the current Alfa Romeo 4C, the new car will be based on the new Giorgio platform and will be more user-friendly in terms of price. Not only that, Alfa Romeo 4C will also have four versions, including the convertible version, the lStradale highway version and the Racing track version, in order to enrich the lineup of the car line-up. But now it looks like everything will be out of the plan.

According to the latest plan, Alfa Romeo will be cut off the planned new generation of ALFA 8C, new generation ALAF GTV and medium and large SUV and other products to develop more profitable compact SUV and small SUV, while ALAF 4C will be officially discontinued as part of the slimming plan.

For the domestic market, Alfa Romeo also faces many problems, the brand is minority, the sales channel is not rich enough, and the after-sales service can not keep up, which must be an obstacle to the future development.
