I don&#8217;t care, it looks good from any angle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>No word on power from the turbocharged 1.75 liter motor, but the layout appears to be front engine, rear drive.  Dimensionally, it\u2019s a little bit bigger than the pictures make it look.  Compared to a current generation Mazda Miata, the 2uettottanta is about 8 inches longer and 3 inches wider, with a slightly longer wheelbase.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_39141\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 510px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/alfa-romeo-2uettottanta-concept\/500x_alfa_romeo_2uettottanta_04\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-39141\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/500x_alfa_romeo_2uettottanta_04.jpg\" alt=\"Alfa Romeo 2uettottanta Concept\" title=\"500x_alfa_romeo_2uettottanta_04\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39141\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Twittytinto?

We really don\u2019t need the weight or complexity of a power retractable hard top; a simple cloth top will do just fine, thanks.  Build a base model with a six speed manual and cloth interior and price it below $25k.  Make a premium model with a leather interior and more farkles (heated seats, Bluetooth,etc.) and price it just below $30k.  I suspect there are enough of us gear heads with a soft spot for Alfa Romeos that you\u2019d sell them by the boatload. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/I6sC1tOpuKw82KSbuSp_dwAvZRw\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/I6sC1tOpuKw82KSbuSp_dwAvZRw\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/I6sC1tOpuKw82KSbuSp_dwAvZRw\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/I6sC1tOpuKw82KSbuSp_dwAvZRw\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twetta what?
