The 4C concept was debuted at the 2011 Geneva motor Show. Designed as a small lightweight, two seater mid engine rear wheel drive sports car. Slightly smaller than the Mito.
Designed by Lorenzo Ramaciotti at Alfa Romeo Centro Stile, using a carbon fibre tub, front rear crash box, and hybrid rear frame composed primaryly of aluminium with a weight of around 850kg. The 4C has a high quadrilateral suspension at the front and MacPherson struts in the rear.
Powered by an new all aluminium 1750cc S4 turbo petrol engine of 230bhp with a capacity to produce 300bhp. The engine will probably be used in the new Guilia. The 4C is equipped with six speed Alfa TCT Dual Dry Clutch Transmission, and can be operated via gearshift paddles on steering wheel. It also has an Alfa DNA dynamic control selector which controls the behaviour of engine, brakes, steering, throttle response, suspension and gearbox

The production car was unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor
Show followed by the Essen Classica , the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the 2013 Frankfurt Autoshow, Production of 4C began May 2013 at Maserati's plant in Modena, with an expected production of up to 2500 units per year, with an upper limit of 3500 units per year, depending on the quantity of carbon fiber chassis that can be built by the supplier Adler Plastic

The car was designed by Centro Stile Alfa Romeo (Style Centre) and developed by Alfa Romeo. The chassis is composed of a central carbon fiber tub, with aluminium subframes front and rear. The carbon fiber tub is produced by TTA (Tecno Tessile Adler) in Airola, The entire carbon-fiber monocoque chassis ("tub") of the car weighs a mere 143 lb (65 kg). Front and rear aluminum subrames combine with the tub, roof reinforcements and engine mounting to comprise the 4C chassis giving the vehicle a total chassis weight of 236 lb (107 kg) and a total vehicle curb weight of just 2,465 lb

The production 4C uses a new all-aluminium 1.75 L (1,742 cc) inline 4 cylinder turbocharged engine producing 240 bhp with a combined fuel consuption of 42 mpg a 0-62mph time of 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 160mph

The 4C Launch Edition was a limited and numbered edition, unveiled at the vehicle's launch at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The vehicle came in a choice of four paint colours (Rosso Alfa, Rosso Competizione tri-coat, Madreperla White tri-coat or Carrara White matt). 400 examples were reserved for Europe, Africa and the Middle East, 500 for North America and 100 for the rest of the world (88 delivered to Australia—in Rosso Alfa and Madreperla White only). Distinguishing features of the Launch Edition were carbon fiber trim (including headlight housings, spoiler and door mirror caps), rear aluminium extractor with dark finishing, Bi-LED headlights, dark painted 18-inch front and 19-inch rear alloy wheels, additional air intakes on the front fascia, red brake calipers, racing exhaust system, BMC air cleaner, specific calibration for shock absorbers and rear anti-roll bar, leather/fabric sports seats with parts in Alcantara and a numbered plaque. Alfa Red coloured cars got matching red stitching on the steering wheel, handbrake, mats, handles and sports seats
In Europe the vehicle went on sale for 60,000 euros including VAT

The North American bound versions debuted at the 2014 New York Motorshow differing from their European siblings, with new head lights similar to those seen before in the 4C Spider version.. The cars also require extra bracing and strengthening required to meet U.S. crash regulations (including aluminium inserts in the carbon fiber chassis), resulting in 100 kilograms (220 lb) of weight increase.

Many thanks for a fantabulous
