Great review!
I def felt the Lotus in the car and why not. Mid engine, lightweight and quick. Reminded me as I drove of my 86 Esprit Turbo. Thanks for the compliment. I try to pass what I feel when on a test. Hard to get it all down to my fingers from my brain lol!

Not really. Fit & finish looks to be on par with our Z's. Has a Ferrari on welfare look to the interior. Lol. But still looks nice.
Love that the steering is unassisted. Not a fan of the overall looks but, this sounds like a true drivers car, worthy of my "fanboyism".

Maybe one day I will test drive... ?

Yea for sure. Get a test. It will be fun. Its amazing. I dont mind being a Ferrari on welfare look when in fact this might outperform alot of other cars that are at much higher price points. It is a fun fun drive. Carbon fibre etc. Light, great brakes. Fun car. Why not give it a whirl!

Ferrari on welfare is a compliment from my perspective. The average Ferrari is $250,000... This Allfa is $56,000? Not a bad deal.
