Alfa Romeo unveiled today at Geneva Motor Show, the concept named 4C. This will underpin a series sports coupe that comes on the market in 2012.
Alfa Romeo 4C Concept is a prototype that foreshadows a future compact sports coupe, according to Italian press release, reviving the passion in the sports range of Alfa Romeo. We speak of a pure sports concept with two locations, with centrally located engine and rear wheel drive, which has a length of four meters and a wheelbase of only 2.4 meters giving – with 40% weight distribution on front and back 60% – agility in the automotive world hardly seen today. The design concept is inspired by Italy’s big brother the 8C Competizione, and materials come to the same track. We speak of elements such as carbon fiber and aluminum and technical solutions such as price-to-wear turbo petrol engine of 1750 cc, dual-clutch automatic TCT box and selector DNA present on all models of the new generation of Italians.
Thanks to the lightweight materials used in construction, Alfa Romeo 4C Concept manages to come up with a mass of just 850 kg, lower than that of the Fiat 500, for example. Under these conditions, the ratio weight/power is 4 kilograms/horsepower, an excellent model for a future series that promises to be within the limit of 50,000 euro. Performance is within expectations, 5 seconds needs Alfa Romeo 4C Concept for 0-100 km/h and a maximum speed of 250 km/h is more than enough for a compact coupe.
The production model will be developed based on the 4C Concept and will come to market next year and take 90% of its design.
