New Alfa Romeo 4C

The Alfa Romeo 4C is at the Geneva Motor Show, while the Italian company had revealed about a month ago its "beauty" and several technical characteristics.
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 photo 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 made its first public appearance at the Geneva 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, οι μηχανικοί της Alfa Romeo φρόντισαν να εξελίξουν ένα καινούριο υπερτροφοδοτούμενο μηχανικό σύνολο 1,75 liter, το οποίο μάλιστα δεν τοποθέτησαν μπροστά, κάτω από το καπό αλλά στο κέντρο του αυτοκινήτου. 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.

Alfa Romeo 4C: A miracle is born!

Only a few months are left until the impressive Alfa Romeo 4C sets its wheels on the roads of Europe, overturning with its presence the data in the 2-seater sports car category.

Having been officially presented at the Geneva International Motor Show 2011 and for the second time in the autumn of the same year at the Frankfurt Motor Show in a particularly impressive coloring (Fluid Metal), the dazzling AlfaRomeo 4C is now literally on the doorstep of the markets of the Old Continent. With the leaders of the Italian company having already planned the start of its production in 2013, the 2-seater compact supercar of the Milanese brand adopts the traditional "rear-drive" architecture for sports driving enthusiasts – engine in the center", having a length very close to 4 μ. and wheelbase less than 2.400 mm. These dimensions on the one hand emphasize the "compact" features of the car and on the other hand focus on the flexibility and sportiness of the character, together of course with the unique design lines, both inside and outside, which literally overflow with genuine Italian style.

The Alfa Romeo 4C Concept uses technology and materials derived from the impressive 8C Competizione, such as carbon fiber, aluminum and rear-wheel drive), as well as features from the rest, more "earthly" Alfa Romeo models, currently on sale. Some of them are the turbocharged petrol engine 1.7500 TBi direct spray, the "dry" type and dual clutch Alfa TCT gearbox, as well as the selector of the D.N.A system which concerns the modification of the car's dynamic characteristics. Ο 4κύλινδρος κινητήρας της 4C, χάρη στην τεχνολογία αιχμής που υιοθετεί, όπως η άμεση έκχυση καυσίμου στον θάλαμο, ο διπλός και συνεχόμενος χρονισμός των βαλβίδων, ο σύγχρονος υπερσυμπιεστής και το επαναστατικό σύστημα ελέγχου σάρωσης που εξαφανίζει την υστέρηση του τούρμπο, αποδίδει πάνω από 200 ίππους χαρίζοντας μοναδικές συγκινήσεις και εντυπωσιακές από κάθε σκοπιά επιδόσεις. Συνδυασμένος με το ξηρού τύπου, αυτόματο κιβώτιο διπλού συμπλέκτη της Alfa Romeo, καταφέρνει να επιταχύνει το ιταλικό… γλυπτό από τα 0 έως τα πρώτα 100 χλμ./ώρα σε λιγότερο από 5 δλ. επιτυγχάνοντας τελική ταχύτητα 250 km / h.
