2013 Alfa Romeo 4C

The Alfa Romeo 4C is the first mass production mid-engine sports car produced by Alfa Romeo that went on sale in 2013.

The major point to note in this car is its thorough pursuit of weight reduction and the resulting superior driving performance. The base structure is a carbon monocoque combined with an aluminum subframe. The extremely strong and lightweight monocoque, which only weighs 65 kg, is produced with pre-prep carbon fiber that involves a difficult and costly manufacturing process. Although the engine is the same turbocharged direct injection inline-4 cylinder 1,742 cc engine as the Giulietta, the cylinder block has been changed to aluminum, reducing its weight by an additional 22 kg. As a result, the dry weight of the Italian domestic model is extremely light, only weighing in at 895 kg in total.

The 4C was Alfa Romeo’s first mass-produced mid-engine sports car. A carbon-fiber monocoque helped keep the car’s curb weight in check, allowing it to tip the scales at a lean 1984 lbs. You’ll find the rigidity of its body resulted in exceptional handling prowess. Its design was inspired by the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33/2 Stradale, which was once called “the most beautiful car in the world.”
