The brand's CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato told *[Autocar]()* that Alfa Romeo is planning on a supercar and, despite it not being greenlit by the brass at Stellantis just yet, it's already almost sold out. “It will be sold out before I unveil the car,” Imparato told *Autocar*. And yet, there isn't even a finalized design. All that Imparato would say about the potentially upcoming supercar is that it could be called the 6C, that it will have an internal combustion engine of some sort, it will contribute to Alfa Romeo's brand DNA, and it will be able to hang with the[ gorgeous 8C]() at the Alfa Romeo historical museum. He also said that it won't be just a track car. It will likely be something that's comfortable enough to daily drive and use on normal roads. So as exclusive as it may be, it should be pretty usable. ![]() Imparato also recognizes that a gas-powered supercar in today's increasingly electrified automotive climate isn't the most popular of ideas. Especially considering the fact that it could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Stellantis will make its decision on the Alfa Romeo supercar in April, according to the report, so people with deposits are still at least a month away from finding out if they're getting one. If it's given the green light, Alfa Romeo should announce the supercar this summer. An actual release date is obviously up in the air but, if it's ever made, the supercar will be part of Alfa's current generation of cars, so it would be released before 2027. Whatever the potential Alfa Romeo supercar might be, it should be quite the looker. Alfa's lineup of cars is small but there isn't a bad-looking car in the bunch and the [Giulia]() might be the prettiest sedan in the world. According to Imparato, the supercar "could be iconic, super-sexy and recognizable as an Alfa Romeo at first sight." OK, I get it now, I'd leave a deposit, too. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
