It's way better looking then the M3, exterior wise.

Haha, the Alfa has a face only a mother could love! The m3 is a very handsome looking car.

As for the engine - I belevie its a turbocharged version of the well known Chrysler's (FCA) Pentastar.

If you can't differentiate 60 degree from 90 degree v6 engine, there may be a problem lol. The block is same design as new california t turbo engine. No shit chrysler parts shared here (fca learned their mistake from ghibli horror)

Ghibli horror? You don't need to make any assumptions, they didn't use the Pentastar because no 60° angled engine apparently can meet their targeted HP/litre figure, only a 90° could, according to Krief.

Here is a review from German magazine auto moto. It starts as a comparo between the m4 GTS and 911r. In a strange twist they seem to insert the quadrifoglio at the end and declare it the winner. That result seems a bit disengenous in that company but would be interesting to hear a summary of their more detailed thoughts above what bmw blog wrote from a German speaking friend here.
