In the wake of the Alfa Romeo 4C, parent company Fiat has decided to throw a bit of cash at Alfa Romeo’s future plans. In the pipeline is an Alfa Guilia for mid-2015, an SUV for the following year and now we hear an Alfa Romeo6C could be slated for 2017.

Alfa Romeo 6C potential engine

An Alfa Romeo 6C would compete with the Porsche 911 and Jaguar F-type for a spot in the sports car hall of fame. The 6C would likely ride on a slightly shorter base of the Maserati Alfieriand also use a 3-litre twin-turbo V6 from the Maserati Ghibli. That very V6 twin-turbo is touted to be capable of pushing out between 357 kW and 387 kW. That puts it right up there with F-type R and the very top of the 911 range.

Like the 4C it will probably be produced in small numbers as a special edition. The Alfa Romeo 6C comes as a surprise after Fiat stole the badging to the upcoming Mazda MX-5 due to hit showrooms in 2015.
