'Taking car leak to a whole new level' - Social media goes WILD after Alfa Romeo launch fail
Alfa Romeo put a lot of effort into the launch of the C43 – only to see plans for an epic launch go awry almost from the outset due to a hitch with the live broadcast which saw the team leak its own car.
Eagle eyes were not required to see leaked images of the car projected on a screen to viewers back home of what the car would look like before the covers had even been taken off.
It constitutes a somewhat inauspicious start to the year for the Switzerland-based team and there was a huge reaction on social media to the mistake.
