The Alfa Romeo 4C
The Alfa Romeo 4C is a mid-engined sports car that was produced by Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo from 2013 to 2020. It is a two-seater, rear-wheel drive car that is powered by a 1.75-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. It is mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 4C was a very exclusive car. Only around 10,000 were produced, and they are not cheap. The base price for the 4C was $55,000. It never had the sales success that was expected and now it is gone.
Alfa Romeo 4C Overview
The Alfa Romeo 4C is a lightweight, two-seat sports car produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo. It was first introduced in 2013 and was designed to pay homage to Alfa Romeo’s racing heritage while offering an exhilarating driving experience on both the road and the track. The 4C is a focused sports car that prioritizes agility, performance, and pure driving pleasure.
The Alfa Romeo 4C features a striking and distinctive design that exudes Italian flair. It has a low-slung and aerodynamic body with aggressive lines and curves. The front end is characterized by the classic Alfa Romeo grille and angular headlights, while the rear showcases a prominent spoiler and dual exhausts. One of the defining characteristics of the Alfa Romeo 4C is its lightweight construction. The car’s chassis is made primarily from lightweight materials such as carbon fiber and aluminum, resulting in a low overall weight and excellent power-to-weight ratio.
The Alfa Romeo 4C is powered by a mid-mounted 1.7-liter inline-four turbocharged engine. This engine generates around 237 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. While the power output may not seem extreme by modern supercar standards, the lightweight nature of the 4C allows it to accelerate quickly and deliver a thrilling driving experience. The Alfa Romeo 4C was discontinued in some markets due to evolving regulations and demand.
Alfa Romeo 4C Sales Data & Trends
The Alfa Romeo 4C is a fantastic (and flawed) sports car that just never set the sales charts on fire. Frankly, it just isn’t selling at all with only a few dozen sales each month in North America. Priced at just over $55,000 the 237 hp 4C with its exotic carbon fiber body and gorgeous two door sports car looks was a car that polarized automotive reviewers who found it had touches of brilliance but a ride that just didn’t hold together and frustrated drivers. These negative reviews clearly had an impact on its lack of commercial success.
