According to the Facebook page of German tuning shop Pogea Racing GmbH, an “absolute [sic] trustworthy and legit source,” says Alfa Romeo is bringing back the 6C in early 2020. Quick history lesson, 6C was a name used on various Alfa Romeo road, race, and sports cars between 1927 and 1954, all of which were powered by an inline-six engine. The very unofficial rendering pictured below suggests the upcoming 6C could be a sports car that’s a size bigger than the existing 4C.
The addition to the lineup of what we could assume to be a coupe larger and more expensive than the Alfa Romeo 4C, and meanwhile bringing back a classic nameplate, doesn't seem farfetched. After all, we've heard similar rumors before, with the 6C reportedly planned as a competitor to the Jaguar F-Type. Under the hood, the Giulia Quadrifoglio's 2.9-liter twin-turbo aluminum V6 — good for 505 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque — seems like the perfect fit for the 6C.
The 6C nameplate has roots in six-cylinder road and racing cars beginning in the 1920s. To see it revived after decades of hibernation would not only be interesting for fans and potential customers, it would be symbolic of the company's continued growth under the FCA umbrella.
