Alfa Romeo is set to follow up its 8C with a new halo super sports car, featuring both combustion and EV powertrains -
Given its connection to the MC20, the new Alfa Romeo’s technical layout will include a Dallara-built carbonfibre chassis as per the MC20. As for what will power the 6C, it's expected the Maserati's Nettuno V6 engine will be used, enabling a more cost-effective option when it comes to accommodating an electric alternative.
The electric model will swap the V6 powertrain for a combination of batteries and electric motors. As in the forthcoming, the battery pack will be stored in an upright configuration behind the cockpit mimicking the weight distribution of the combustion-powered version. The batteries will then drive three electric motors – one mounted on the front axle and a pair of motors on the rear.
The 6C’s design will draw inspiration from Alfa Romeo’s iconic racers of the ‘60s and ‘70s like the 33 Stradale, with organic curves and a triangular grille motif. Alfa Romeo has form when it comes to looking at its past when design a low-volume sports car for today, with the beautiful but flawed 2013 4C showing other manufacturers how retro styling can be reinterpreted to a modern aesthetic.
Its reveal expected in the first half of this year and production is expected to be split between combustion and electric models, and in both cases strictly limited as was the case with the 8C Competizione and Giulia GTA.
