Would you pay $630/month to drive this car? (pics) (300HP)

Found a relatively cheap leasing offer for this car and am seriously considering it. 12 months, 10k km. 600€ per month including insurance and a rough 1k for fuel. Why wait when in clown world these cars can be banned in a few years or nuclear war can go off any time, right?

Cons: Weird front design, french, automatic

Pros: 300hp, mid engine, 1100kg/2400pounds, bucket seats, carbon fiber roof

For 12 months why not. Take it like an extended "test drive". After that, dump it like a hot potato.

Not when pieces like this keep coming up on BAT (went for 27K):

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2010-audi-s5-13/

V8, 350 horse, 6 speed, 2 doors like your OP. Way sexier, way more established. AWD. Note would cost less than $600 with a few K down.

Can you even read fukker? It's leasing, not buying and the 1k is for a year. Prob too low but enough for a rough cost estimate. Small displacement and low weight doesnt need much.

Yeah, but it's supposed to drive like a go kart and you got them pedals on the wheel at least.

Apparently the thing didnt sell and was discontinued. Alpine will focus on electric cars now.

The Alpine is a sports car brah. Like a Lotus Elise or Miata with more power and nicer finish. The q60 is a boat compared to this thing.

Yeah, but look at comparable cars and what their leasing rates are. Thats what makes it interesting. Of course there must be something, otherwise it wouldn't be cheap. But its really just the front view.

Looks like a litte euro-ricer.

You sure you're going to fit in it? For 600/mo why not just get a 500hp camaro or mustang? At least they have back seats. Hell for 600 you could probably get a used supercharged one with 650hp.
