2013 Alfa Romeo 4C<\/h1>\n
\n

The final version of the Alfa Romeo 4C makes its d\u00e9but at the 83rd International Motor Show in Geneva. This mid-engined rear-wheel drive coup\u00e9 with two bucket seats represents the true essence of a sports car at the heart of Alfa Romeo\u2019s DNA: performance, Italian style and technical excellence, offering maximum driving satisfaction in total safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

Designed by Alfa Romeo engineers and produced in the Maserati plant in Modena, the new compact supercar will be available for purchase in 2013, marking the return of the Italian brand to the United States and inaugurating Alfa Romeo\u2019s global growth plan.<\/p>\n

The Alfa Romeo 4C derives directly from the concept which raised many eyebrows in wonder at the Geneva Show in 2011, so much so that it won three prestigious awards: the \u2018AutoBild Design Award\u2019 (2011, Germany), the \u2018Design Award for Concept Cars & Prototypes\u2019 (2012, Italy) and the \u2018Most Exciting Car of 2013\u2019 – \u2018What Car?\u2019 (2013, Great Britain).<\/p>\n

Acronym 4C<\/h4>\n

The acronym \u20184C\u2019 draws its inspiration from the brand\u2019s glorious past, projecting the values of technology and emotions into the future. Indeed, it refers to Alfa Romeo\u2019s great sporting tradition: the acronyms 8C and 6C in the 1930s and 1940s distinguished cars \u2013 both racing and road \u2013 fitted with the powerful \u2018eight cylinders\u2019 and the innovative \u2018six cylinders\u2019, confirming in its design layout and construction the goal of achieving the power\/weight ratio of an authentic supercar, less than 4 kg\/HP, yet focusing not merely on the maximum power delivered, but on limiting the weight to guarantee maximum agility and top performance. To this end, the Alfa Romeo 4C uses technologies and materials derived from super sports cars (including the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione) \u2013 carbon fibre, aluminium, rear-wheel drive \u2013 and technologies from the latest standard models from Alfa Romeo, but updated to enhance the sports appeal of the new car even further. This is demonstrated by the new 1750 Turbo Petrol all-aluminium engine with direct injection, the sophisticated Alfa TCT twin dry clutch transmission and the Alfa DNA selector with the unprecedented Race mode.<\/p>\n

Exterior style<\/h4>\n

Designed by the Alfa Romeo Style Centre, the 4C immediately brings to mind some of the traditional iconic models which have left a significant mark in the history of the Brand. Above all others, in terms of dimensional and layout similarities, one stands out in particular: the 33 Stradale, a car that combined extreme mechanical and functional requirements with an essential style which \u2018clothed\u2019 the engine and chassis appropriately with unmistakable Alfa Romeo treatments. The 4C has followed suit, and thus completes a journey which was embarked upon with the 8C Competizione, emphasising some particular concepts of the brand, such as compact size, dynamism and agility.<\/p>\n

Interior design<\/h4>\n

The elemental design and essential materials also distinguish the interior, which is all designed and built for maximum driving satisfaction. Specifically, the carbon fibre in the interior immediately stands out, used to make the central cell, which has been left in full view to enhance the sense of uniqueness, of technology and light weight.<\/p>\n

Dimensions and aerodynamics<\/h4>\n

The compact dimensions make this car with 2 bucket seats truly unique amid its competitors: it is just under 4 metres long, 200 cm wide, 118 cm high and with a wheelbase of less than 2.4 metres. These dimensions serve both to emphasise the compact size of the car and to accentuate its agility. What\u2019s more, owing to the designers\u2019 excellent work, the car achieves maximum aerodynamic efficiency levels, recording a negative Cz (downforce coefficient) which, as in racing cars, contributes towards achieving increased stability at higher speeds.<\/p>\n

New 4 cylinder 1750 Turbo Petrol<\/h4>\n

An evolution of the engine already in use in the Quadrifoglio Verde version of the Giulietta, the new 4 cylinder 1750 Turbo Petrol engine implements an innovative aluminium block and specific intake and exhaust systems which have been optimised to enhance the sports appeal of the car even further. In addition, it boasts cutting-edge technical solutions including direct fuel injection, dual continuous variable valve timing, a turbocharger and a revolutionary scavenging control system that gets rid of any turbo lag.<\/p>\n

Alfa TCT automatic transmission<\/h4>\n

The 1750 Turbo Petrol engine is teamed with the innovative Alfa TCT automatic twin dry clutch transmission, which is a genuine benchmark in its segment due to its low weight and extreme speed of activation. The gears can also be changed in sequential mode using the shift paddles located behind the steering wheel.<\/p>\n

The new Alfa DNA selector with Race mode<\/h4>\n

The Alfa Romeo 4C also sees the d\u00e9but of the new Alfa DNA selector which not only features the three standard settings available until now \u2013 Dynamic, Natural and All Weather \u2013 but also a fourth mode: Race, designed to enhance the driving experience on a race track even further.<\/p>\n

Excellence made in Italy<\/h4>\n

The very best technical and industrial expertise of the Alfa Romeo and Maserati brands were used to develop the final version of the 4C. Specifically, the teamwork between the two brands was aimed at the integration of the Alfa Romeo design department with the Maserati production plant. In short, this too is a distinguishing trait of Alfa Romeo, a brand with a century of history that continues to be one of the most famous and popular ambassadors of Italian products across the world.<\/p>\n
