This is only a rumor, but it is highly probable that this agreement becomes a reality.
Chrysler has failed to produce a large quantity of products, and they gave many losses, example of this was the Viper. As a result Chrysler could recover some of its crisis, where he also served for entry into the Chinese market.
A Alfa Romeo he would barbaric this agreement because it would not have to build a factory, at least during the first year that is in U.S. The models that produce in this factory will probably be the Brera, 159 and possibly the new SUV of the mark.

The biggest problem is when it was launched in 2006, as it was formerly since those early days. I said at that very moment: "As you may pull Chrysler as a model, knowing that the model it replaces is much better quality than this," as you see, because at that time was the failure of the "new line" Chrysler, and now I wonder: Why leave so badly Mercedes to Chrysler?, what was actually what happened?
But now, the brand is designed so that most consent and with a more clear vision for the future, where no more will be below anyone.

Alfa 8C Spider, a small and interesting miniature
Alfa 8C Spider, a small and interesting miniature
Much is speaking recently of the flagship Alpha and undoubtedly will be one of the major players in the Geneva Motor Show. Today, we analyze the miniature of Alfa 8C Spider resin manufactured by Spark.
The resin is one of the materials used by manufacturers of high-level models to represent the models most emblematic of trademarks. Within the broad range of manufacturers, in this case analyzed the work of Spark, which would be in the mid-range within the qualities of resin.
A mold very well managed, with a profile of the bodywork slashing perfection. Well detailed doors, as we see the miniature has a rear totally faithful to real model, with its headlights monochromes and its dual exhaust outlet on each side. Front, a small imperfection in the auction of the boards of lighthouses makes is not a true delicacy but its completion, by contrast, leaves no detail into oblivion, such as the resemblance of the silver model of the actual front grille.
Special mention carrying out the tires, with its red brake calipers perfectly detailed, their tires to real accuracy and silkscreen entirely faithful to the model. Its interior is nothing but a continuation of the good work of Spark in this realization, with a dash perfectly detailed in aluminium, with their seat belts and distinctive black interior of the model.
There is no doubt that Spark has achieved a good product with a scale replica of this precious few Supercar that we can see from our streets but, if so, we may have to scale buy at specialty shops for an amount close to 40 euros.

There is no doubt that Spark has achieved a good product with a scale replica of this precious few Supercar that we can see from our streets but, if so, we may have to scale buy at specialty shops for an amount close to 40 euros.

Electronic System Q2 Alfa Romeo
Electronic System Q2 Alfa Romeo
The system Electronic Q2 se basa en harnessing installing brakes that sent adequately by the switchboard ESP, creates a behavior very similar to that of a limited slip differential (eg Torsen mechanical device called Q2). In particular, the front brake system, in terms of acceleration curve, timely intervenes in the internal wheel, thus increasing the motor outside of the wheel (more loaded), and thus spreading the torque between the front-wheel drive so dynamic and constantly under driving conditions and the firm of the road. Electronic Q2, which combines the front suspension of quadrilateral exclusive, allows a particularly effective line of the vehicle and sports.
In fact, part of Alfa Romeo's reputation optimal traction among customers presumed front (it is no coincidence that is the solution chosen by the majority of automotive Properties). Suffice it to say that, beyond all the benefits of this type of architecture (weight, habitability, etc..) Under the conditions limits, the behavior of understeer a traction front allows the driver to respond to the efforts of the vehicle a more intuitive : Hence the feeling that the front traction is "sincere" that a rear traction.
By contrast, for versions 4 x 4, the system combines the Electronic Q2 rear axle subsequently increasing the known qualities of pleasure and ease of driving of Q4, giving even greater perception of sportsmanship: the behavior is an integral 4 x 4 with Torsen central and rear electronic limited slip differential.
Therefore, to exalt these benefits, Alfa Romeo has perfected the system Electronic Q2 representing all the strengths of the front traction and traction 4 × 4 significantly increasing grip on the road, motor, stability to drop and the brake, while cushioning the understeer in the acceleration and discomfort in the steering wheel.

Alfa Romeo Spider 8c Review
Alfa Romeo Spider 8c, without any criticism
Little has been slow in submitting the Alpha production version of the Alfa 8C Spider after the last Sunday announced that he would be presented at the Swiss Chamber of Geneva in an elegant white. The model involves the production version of the Concept that was introduced in the Italian Elegant contest held at Pebble Beach.
We found a model that will have an exclusive run of only 500 units produced. As engine, will be the same as that encourages the closed version of Alfa 8C, a gasoline engine from eight cylinders in V-90 degrees and 4,691 cubic centimeters. Its maximum power is maintained at the figure of 450CV a speed of 7.000rpm, while the maximum torque is set at 470Nm at 4.750rpm.
Alfa Romeo Spider 8c Review
The power is carried to the ground through the rear axle, which includes a limited slip differential. The gearbox is robotic and six-speed dual clutch, and like the closed model lacks leverage. For the selection of gear manually, using the cams located behind the wheel, while the usual venue would be located where the lever is la Botonera that allows the selection of the exchange program, which presents adjustments to function in normal mode and Sports in both manual and automatic mode, and an extra programme to start on slippery surfaces.
Alfa Romeo Spider 8c Review
The tires are 20 inches, with 245/35R20 tires on the front axle and 285/35R20 in the rear axle. As for the team brakes, this is signed by Brembo brake discs and includes 380 millimetres of the front axle and 360 millimetres at the rear.
His date of marketing is not yet fixed, or units that are intended to develop each country. With 500 units for the whole world, the level of exclusivity of this model in a country like Spain could be very high, with a small number of units Pisa our territory.

What is most striking is the chrome that incorporates the center console and controls affecting the sound equipment. Above them, seem to lie about jet ventilation with a circular shape, while in the lowest part of the center console appear commanders of the air conditioning. The watches the speedometer and counter presents a small chrome around them, something that is also present in the area of the gear lever and brake parking brake. As for the seats, earmuffs in presenting his sidewalk not seem to be causing problems magnets.
The Italian model of four metres long had its official filing date for the next day on March 4 at the Geneva Motor Show, but given the pace of information being generated, and as has happened with other models, which would not be dischargeable viese light a few days earlier.

No, you can not say that anything is wrong, go, and no much more news, only to see what it feels nice to the Spider model, and model the Spider.
Until Alfa decided to give one more photo session with her ex-ambassador, for the moment, we have to be satisfied with this series of snapshots and its beautiful burgundy red roadster. And I say "ex-ambassador" because, after several years devoted to that mark (2002 to 2007) is now the ambassador of the brand watches Hublot. Therefore, enjoy their latest photos, may not recur.
