Quattroruote weighted this at 1738kg, it's safe to say they add quite a lot of equipment.

Design analysis thoughts.
Pros:
Clean Body
Simple linear Fluid lines
One line used to "build" more areas.
Everything is connected to everything.
Cons:
The car looks a little compressed due to short wheelbase and 3rd volume, however it creates it's own style.

What should i analize next?

When the track is THAT wet, between 6-8s is the difference if it were to be dry, Also depending on Drivetrain as a Awd car would take off less, a damp track is about 3-4s difference, but again, drivetrain.

Plus this car isn't known for its handling, its more like a Challenger then a 911.

But wtf buys this car for its handling capabilities? The looks Alone are worth the 115k price tag, id GLADLY Spend that on this ANY day.

Top gear lap must be wrong, how the hell this 450 hp car could be slower than the Alfa Romeo Brera 2.2 JTS that has just 185 hp? Even with wet circuit this would be impossible

450 horsepower from 4.7 liters is pretty good, but 4.7 liters is not big for a V8. The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is a remarkable car.

just the Best. it has everything: big v8 feeding 450 horses, amazing tech and the body - the God. this car is the true successor of legendary alfa super cars. i wish this car was taken to the track and beat everything. but hell, damned british weather, i believe if the track was dry, this alfa would eat any m3 or 911s.

btw, alfa is going to present the new 4c at geneve. its awesome, though i wish to see a bigger engine there and be a 6c!

@super9man9: most rubbber boats with outboard engine and 50hp would have been faster given the conditions...
Stiff and sharp suspension and a lot of standing water is a bad combo. Even the spider would have done better since its a little lss stiff and much more confidence inspiring. Mind you this is not a trackday car anyway.
