Currently reading: Alfa Romeo 4C coupé offered with new headlight design

Range-topping 237bhp sports car to get options including the more conventional lights shown on the recently revealed 4C Spider concept

Alfa Romeo will offer its flagship 4C coupé with the headlights shown on the 4C Spider at the Geneva motor show.

"The Spider will only be offered with its standard lights, however", an Alfa spokesperson added.

The Alfa Romeo 4C's headlights had proven to be one of the most controversial aspects of the car's design.

Buyers will now be able to pick from two headlight designs – the standard ones currently offered and those seen on the Spider

Alfa's £45,000 sports car is powered by a 237bhp turbocharged 1.7-litre four-cylinder engine and is capable of 0-62mph in 4.5sec.

It reputedly weighs just 895kg, thanks to the extensive use of lightweight aluminium and carbonfibre.

some people are never happy

Quibble, quibble, quibble. OK, so the headlights have been fixed. Now the mirrors are the alleged show stoppers. Then you want a big heavy lump of a V6 to upset handling balance and destroy agility. Then a manual gearbox for no good reason...and so on and so forth.
For goodness sake, if this beautiful, progressive Alfa upsets you so much, be a boring conservative luddite and buy a big heavy lump of a thing from elsewhere.

In fact I am very happy with

In fact I am very happy with my life, my incomes and my Mercedes cars. Any comment stylistically is very much a personal taste and Alfa should be happy that some people still care about an Alfa and read about it and make any comments!

For any toy cars like this I would prefer to choose a manual gearbox like an Elise! Anyway hope to see some really good and better built cars from Alfa Romeo.
