Alfa Romeo 4C Spider


A symphony in carbon fiber. Balance Personified. A mini Ferrari as cute a bunny rabbit, with the greatest badge in the history of motors. 

Alfa Romeo 4C Spider has a 1.7 4-Liter 4-cylinder turbocharged Engine which makes 234 horsepower. It can go from 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and it has a top speed of 160 mph. It weighs 1128kg. It uses a carbon fiber tub, front and rear crash box, and hybrid rear subframe mainly out of aluminum to keep weight at 1,050 kilograms 

The entire carbon-fiber monocoque chassis ("tub") of the car weighs a mere 65 k. Front and rear aluminum subframes combine with the tub, roof reinforcements and engine mounting to comprise the 4C chassis giving the vehicle a total chassis weight of 107 kg and a total vehicle curb weight of just 1,118 kg.


 The 4C has a single carbon fiber body, similar to the body of many supercars. The outer body is made of a composite material (SMC for Sheet Moulding Compound) which is 20% lighter than steel. The stability is comparable to steel and better than aluminum.



Alfa Romeo 4C Concept is a two-seater, rear-wheel drive coupé with technology and materials derived from the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, with 1750 turbo petrol engine with direct injection, the "Alfa TCT" twin dry clutch transmission, and the Alfa DNA dynamic control selector.


Some of the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider interiors have been taken from other cheaper cars. Such as the Fiat Punto Hatchback.

Even though The Alfa Romeo 4C  won  'Most Beautiful Concept Car of the Year' award by the readers of German magazine Auto Bild.
