Hot off the press
OFF TOPIC!!! 
To think I have the top 3 of those...................between 4th and 5th, if I were to add another, I will add the 4th fastest before the 5th for sure.

0-100kph, jeez the marketing's getting pretty basic isn't it but still I'll take the vid it's a fun watch.
Interesting that the Mclaren 720S using skinny 305 Corsa tyres slots in right between the GT2RS and 918 at 2.7s and then properly destroys them both to 300kph

McLaren has mastered the art of proper traction control setups, no doubt.

Re: McLaren on a winning streak
After spending the last few days running around the the little 4C, I think it's a properly good little sports car.
Carbon tub just like a McLaren, mid engine just like a McLaren. But without the funny doors. Hell even the transmission is also push button operated.
On paper the HP is not much, but the car also weights next to nothing, so it actually have adequate power, feels fast enough and it makes all the right noises during shifting just like a McLaren.
Digital dash? My little Alfa has it too 
It's like a mini-me McLaren for sure, at a fraction of the price, rarer too.
Only down side is that it has no power steering, so the wheel is just about impossible to turn when stationary. But once it get going the road feel is excellent, maybe too much feelback perhaps, as every road contour go straight to the wheel and it feels a bit darty at times.
Weird coincidence, this little 4C is white, same colour as my old McLaren 12C 
Just missing a black roof.
Interior is sort fo as bare as one can stand, but at least I got a leather dash with contrast stitching.

BjoernB:It's a design toy with no substance
Not really. It is a fantastic little sports car Alfa Romeo managed to...mess up.

noone1:Looks good, sounds decent. I've seen one recently and it caught my eye. Wouldn't buy though. Too pricey for what it is.
Funny, dealers asked a premium in the beginning and then it went downhill fast. Car just doesn't have street cred, probably because of the messed up steering/chassis setup and maybe even the engine.
What a pity...

Exactly why I bought a used one at like 35% off retail MSRP.
It's a 4th car and beyond, not even close to being a 2nd car in any garage.

Makes sense. Fun little sportscar and at 35% off MRSP, definitely worth a shot.

Re: McLaren on a winning streak
That engine is actually not bad, with the factory exhaust and basically no insulation it makes some fun sound, and it seems to be very tunable, there are ECU upgrades to make it a 280Hp and beyond, Alfa makes the swap a 10 min job, they physically put the ECU in the engine compartment and extremely accessible, like just right there.
Got rid of the factory Pirellis and now running stickier RE71Rs.

I agree - 4C fun car, but its relevance to anything McLaren is beyond obtuse.

Oh come on, where else can you find a carbon tub mid engine dual clutch rear wheel drive sports car?
McLarens and the 4C are the only ones.

Well, at least he chose a worthy car to crash into... 
This happens when idiots play around with ESC/TC systems.
