Alfa Romeo should complete its range with the 1,000 HP 6C Quadrifoglio super sports car. As early as April 2022, rumors had started circulating about a possible Alfa supercar, following the presentation of a concept to the brand’s dealers. In that period, production should have been divided between 16 vehicles with internal combustion engines and 16 with electric motors. But the most recent statements by Jean-Philippe Imparato, current Alfa CEO, suggest that plans have changed.
“We will be a high-performance electric vehicle brand.” Learned told Automotive News. The current plan is a 1,000hp electric powertrain for the Quadrifoglio sub-brand.
The new sports car, which should be called 6C, it will probably go to be placed at the top of the range Four-leaf clover. Two versions of this same car that are not part of the sports division will also be offered, respectively with 350 and 800 bhp. Learned said the new limited-edition Alfa will not share a platform with any existing Stellantis model.
But really there Dutch multinational holding company will he grant Alfa a platform only for this model? There Tonalfor example, shares the platform of the Dodge Hornets. And the convenience of a large multinational is also that of sharing technologies and platforms between different brands.
Alfa Romeo is expected to debut the new car later this year, as will happen with the Maserati Gran Turismo Folgore (the electric version), so the platform of this car would already be available and could be used for the new Alfa, rather than developing an ad hoc one. The Folgore produces 760 HP in standard trim and benefits from an 800-volt architecture that allows recharging in no more than 18 minutes. With these bases, it is easy to imagine that Alfa could work on it and bring the horsepower up to the incredible figure of 1,000 and give it that unmistakable design touch of the brand.
Unfortunately, it is to be believed that dreams of an internal combustion engine supercar branded Alfa Romeo should be locked away forever.
