Alfa Romeo 4C Concept, undeniable beauty 0
Alfa Romeo 4C. We could classify as the Fiat group’s surprise second after the 500 Zagato Coupe Concept. Does not become an 8C Competition despite being based on it, but it certainly would make you turn the neck to dislocate shove them aside if you pass along.
This is a rear-wheel drive, something odd from the legendary Alfa 75 (discounting the 8C) of two squares and the central engine. The best thing is its small size, 4 feet, with a wheelbase of 2.4 meters.
1.750cc mounted engine that is already used in other Alfa models (Giulietta QV for example) and develop more than 200hp mated to a shift dual-clutch automatic Alfa TCT. So far it seems much more rational than 8C and maybe lose around charm, but the “low power” will not be diminished by the weight of the car, which will be of only 850 kilos with a weight distribution of 40% front and 60% back. It is a featherweight in part through the use of carbon fiber, which allows you to have a power-weight of 4 kilos per bhp.
The engine choice has been easy for Alfa, have the performance that could offer a 3.0 but with reduced fuel consumption and emissions of a 4-cylinder nearly half the displacement. With this engine can reach 250 kilometers per hour and do 0-100 in under 5 seconds.
Fortunately this time there is that going to bed to dream, because production will (Yes!) In 2012.
