In 2014, the first copies of the Alfa Romeo 4C appeared in the showrooms of domestic dealerships. The model is an absolute novelty and, in combination, a direct competitor to the Porsche Cayman. She received a compact motor, a new platform and simply stunning looks. The designer claims that he took inspiration from the Tipo 33 Stradale, which became a legend in the sixties of the XX century. The unusual headlights are striking, they are black overlays with a scattering of separate small focusing lenses. At the bottom, on the front bumper, there are elongated air intakes, covered with a black metal mesh with tiny cells, and a branded radiator grill. It is a heraldic shield with the manufacturer's logo and serves an exclusively decorative role. As for the stern, it also turned out to be very effective. I would like to note the slightly recessed brake lights, a small spoiler on the trunk lid and a couple of exhaust pipes. In general, the model received a memorable and sophisticated design, in the best traditions of the Italian manufacturer. Alfa Romeo 4-S is a premium two-seat sports coupe. Its overall dimensions are: length 3989 mm, width 1864 mm, height 1183 mm, and a wheelbase of 2380 mm. The ground clearance of the model is expectedly small - only 114 millimeters. This seating position, coupled with the mid-engined layout, gives the car a fairly low center of gravity and tremendous weight distribution along the axles. The car is highly maneuverable, will not lose stability, even at high speeds, and will be able to take turns in a controlled drift. As for the suspension, it has a completely independent architecture. There is a multi-link with a stabilizer bar in front, and McPherson struts in the back. It should be noted that the model has a phenomenally low weight. Thanks to the carbon fiber body and aluminum chassis, the dry weight is only 895 kilograms. The Alfa Romeo 4C is equipped with an in-line turbocharged petrol four-cylinder unit with a capacity of 1,742 cubic centimeters. Despite the small displacement, the advanced turbocharging system allowed the engineers to squeeze out 240 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 350 Nm of torque in the range from 2200 to 4250 crankshaft revolutions per minute. All the power is digested by a six-speed preselective robotic variable transmission with two dry clutches. It transmits the moment exclusively to the wheels of the rear axle. As a result, the coupe shoots up to the first hundred in just 4.5 seconds and gains a maximum of 258 kilometers per hour. Despite the excellent dynamics and power, fuel consumption is quite democratic - only 6.8 liters of gasoline per hundred kilometers in the combined cycle. The 4C is truly sporty. She has a fast-paced, unforgettable design that perfectly emphasizes the character of the owner and the pedigree of the model. Such a car will look great on the racetrack and will not get lost against the background of more powerful competitors. The salon is a realm of exclusive finishing materials, sporty ergonomics and high comfort. Even a long trip or an active driving style cannot bring unnecessary inconveniences to the owner. The manufacturer is well aware that models of this kind should give an unforgettable experience from every trip. That is why the coupe is equipped with a compact and very powerful power unit, which is a fusion of advanced technologies and the legendary genius of Italian engineers. Alfa Romeo 4C is able to give a lot of emotions to the true driving fan.
