Official: Alfa Romeo 4C

[juliog]

Too bad stealerships are marking these up into the $90K range (yup...).

that 4c got so much love from people all day long. it's a very pretty car. the torque it has is impressive. if i recall it's 258lbs at 2200rpm.. i have no feedback on anything other than aesthetics.

One near me is $71k but it's a release edition, might be warranted as the sticker on those seem to be roughly $69k according to the magazines. Wonder how the buyer will feel walking into a Fiat dealership to plunk down more cash than the average American brings home in a year or two...

Poor Americans, don't know what an Alfa Romeo is. Even Europeans don't know anymore, because of of more than 20 years of absence. And those engines like the Buso V6....

I thought this commercial was on the spot. I've watched reviews of the 4C they all say how anti daily driver it is, this commercial makes you wanna say F that, I'm driving that bisch all day everyday.

No offense to the driver but it looks like there's a lot more speed to be found in that 4C, very inconsistent line unless I'm a total fool.

True, it was a tongue-in-cheek comment knowing that @supra2nv has tons of seat time on many tracks in his FR-S and other high performance exotics.

the driver of the 4c has moar track seat time than me probably moar overall seat time than me...plus he's a bac mono owner lol. and his company is building a car as well. as far as the straights, i could not compete , it's the story of my life in this car for the moment lol. plus that 4c has tons of torque so early (2200rpm 258lbs torque under 2700lb weight), and it weighs 100lbs less than my frs. in the turns and late braking i had the edge and i tried to capitalize on it as much as i could. i feel it also hurt me on my lines. Torqdork im still learning bro... ive owned many cars but still getting the hang of the track. with that said however I have been on the track 7 times 1 of which was in a bac mono, so i think im getting decent practice so far ) but that 4c is a pretty amazing machine and the carbon tub it has is gorgeous. fit and finish, it's still an english car, take that how you wanna take it haha

ps, really have a soft spot for this 86

When they decide what they are doing with this car in Canada, I might buy one.

I called Chrysler Canada in November to get an update, and to find out about pre ordering. They knew Nothing, and had no answers. What a let down.

Surprised nobody has mentioned the Alfa 4C on this forum... It's comparable in price to a Porsche Caymen PDK, but lighter, faster, more exotic...

237hp/258ft turbo, 0-60 in 4.1s
carbon fiber monocoque w/ aluminum subframes
weighs under 2500lbs
Launch control


not to mention the instrument display is awesome.

We have a test drive lined up, still waiting...

I heard all the bad and good. Seems a mixture of get the race suspension and don't get the race suspension. Can't wait to drive one, should be interesting.

The 4C looks and sounds awesome...if I had the dough to cross-shop Cayman/S and 4C I would be worried about the reliability of the 4C. Not to mention you can daily the Cayman/S whereas the 4C sounds a little rough around the edges...
