This year Alfa Romeo decided to celebrate him… Saint Valentine 2 days earlier, revealing the production version of the most beautiful car of the year!
If you consider the car to be nothing more than a means of transport, think again. THE, better, take a few moments to browse the photos of the new Alfa Romeo 4C, in its final production form. Much has been written about the taste and elegance of the Italians, but here they really outdid themselves. Even more so if one connects to this visual effect the history of the name that the specific model carries, as well as its technical characteristics.

So this is Alfa Romeo's new little supercar, which will make its first public appearance at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show. The concept of a "small supercar" might sound funny, but in practice it is about this.

Starting with the dimensions, the 4C does not exceed the 4 meters in length, the moment its width touches the 2 meters and the height reaches just 1,18 meters. The wheelbase, in turn, is less than 2,4 meters. In other words, it is a model with the length and width of a small car… Ferrari.

New engine 240 horses
For the needs of movement, Alfa Romeo engineers took care to develop a new turbocharged engine 1,75 liter, which they did not even place in front, under the hood but in the center of the car. This one works 240 horsepower, transferring the power to the rear axle, through a sophisticated double box, dry clutch, Alfa TCT.

This power, combined with the very low weight of the car, which remains below the 1.000 kilos (thanks to the extensive use of aluminum and carbon fiber) ensures a weight/power ratio marginally below 4, which is one of the best in a production car.

Alfa DNA with Race option
The Alfa Romeo 4C also marks the premiere of the new Alfa DNA selector, which offers the three standard options we have known so far -Dynamic, Natural and All Weather- but he adds one more: the Race, designed to further enhance the driving experience on racetracks.

Alfa Romeo's new small supercar will be built at Maserati's factory, in Modena, Italy. Its availability will start in the coming months, while, according to information, the 2014 we will also see its Stradale version, with increased power 270 horses.
