Alfa Romeo 4C

As with the exterior, everything on the inside has a precise function and expresses the racing spirit of Alfa Romeo. To start with, the unique body cell is made from a one-piece shell of carbon fibre. The seats incorporate a reinforced composite structure and special lightweight padding. The steering wheel is moulded at the bottom and the controls are all oriented towards the driver. Aluminum pedals and heel guards form the last details of a true sporting character.

Every detail of 4C is conceived to ignite passion for sportiness. The alloy wheels go from 17" to 19", mounted in different sizes on the front and on the rear, to ensure a perfect balance and the best dynamics.

Brembo brake calipers with 4 small pistons are available in 4 colours: black, yellow and, of course, red. The spoiler in body-color or in carbon fibre (available as optional), the Bi-LED headlights with carbon fibre surrounds, the air intakes on the side, the twin tailpipes, the sporty seats and the single carbon fiber body all go together to make the 4C a small, yet impressive Alfa Romeo masterpiece.

The 4C's 1750 cc turbocharged power plant is based on state-of-the-art engine technology. And Alfa Romeo's engineers have made this technology even more aggressive and efficient.

This small yet amazing solution delivers unprecedented sporting performance, worthy of a supercar, while everything is engineered to deliver the purest Alfa Romeo emotion at the wheel: drive it to believe it.

The four-cylinder, direct injection, 240hp, 1750 Turbo petrol engine, entirely made of aluminum, brings extraordinary performance with a peak torque of 350 Nm, 80% of which is available at 1700 rpm. Alfa Romeo 4C has a top speed in excess of 250 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds: a truly remarkable result.

The Alfa Romeo 4C’s advanced scavenging technology maximises torque at low engine speeds and delivers more power in response to driver input.

To implement the scavenging technology, the engine is also equipped with a new generation turbocharger and a pulse converter exhaust manifold.

Like all top competition cars, the Alfa Romeo 4C uses an automatic cool-down system to protect its turbocharger. Switching off the engine would normally cause the immediate stoppage of oil circulation, causing a loss of lubrication capacity and possible damage to the engine. With the after-run-pump, the oil keeps circulating through the turbocharger until it has cooled.

The total dry weight of the car is only 895 kilograms; this is why Alfa Romeo 4C has one of the lowest weight/power ratio: less than 4 kg/hp. With the comeback of rear-wheel drive configuration, 4C secures a great driving experience and an unmistakable racing feel.
