Okay, this is not the first review pitting the Alfa Romeo 4C against the segment’s reference point, the excellent Porsche Cayman. But since this latest review comes from Chris Harris, we thought you may be interested in what he has to say about one of the most exciting car duels in recent years.

Since Harris drove both cars on UK roads, it comes as no surprise that it rained almost the whole time. Still, the Cayman proved to be as impressive in soaking wet conditions as on dry tarmac, with Harris calling it the Floyd Mayweather of sports cars. For those of you who haven’t heard of the boxing legend, the comparison means it’s the best sports car in its category.

But is it better than the featherweight Alfa Romeo 4C? Well, Harris says he was more impressed with the Alfa at the car’s launch event that took place on carefully selected Italian asphalt than on random UK roads he drove now.

You can find out why by watching the review posted below.
