Born of the experience gained through the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider 8C Competizione and the models, the new concept shares its rear-drive car with exclusive luxury cars, as well as philosophy based on achieving maximum driving pleasure and Alfa Romeo proverbial road performance. This is a goal that the 8C Spider 8C Competizione and pursued mainly through its more power, while the Alfa Romeo 4C concept follows the path of light weight, made possible by extensive use of carbon, which plays a structural role and warrants outstanding agility with a weight / power that is less than 4 kg / HP. The chassis supports a body entirely handmade carbon, inside which there is space for driver and passenger, while the rear frame structure and the use of aluminum crash boxes widely. The end result is a significant reduction in weight, is limited to less than 850 kg, as well as optimizing the center of gravity, giving the advantage of increased agility and driving on the roads more difficult.
The name "4C Concept" is suggestive of sports driving pleasure that only the spectacular "4 cylinder" 1750 Turbo petrol engine that offers more than 200 hp can bring. Already appears in a series of production models, such as the Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde, the engine has advanced solutions techniques such as direct injection, dual continuously variable valve time, supercharger and scanning system that eliminates revolutionary control turbo lag.
Centrally located in the rear of the vehicle, the engine of the Alfa Romeo 4C concept guarantees performance that equals or exceeds that of a 3-liter engine, while still providing the consumer moderate fuel, which is typical of a compact 4-cylinder engine. Along with the new automatic gearbox Alfa TCT dual clutch transmission dry, launched a few months ago and the MiTo will soon be available in the Giulietta, the powerful petrol engine of 1,750 Turbo allows the Alfa Romeo concept 4C reach a maximum speed of 250 km / h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km in less than 5 seconds. The vehicle Alfa DNA technology integrates perfectly, a philosophy that brings together all the technology on board, so it is nice and customizable to the driver and further accentuating the "competitive" nature of the concept compared to other vehicles currently on sale.
Concept Alfa Romeo 4C has a very sophisticated suspension design (ring high in the front, MacPherson in the back) for maximum agility and driving behavior. This solution, along with rear-wheel drive and outstanding power / weight, says Alfa Romeo driving pleasure, even better for weight distribution (40% in the front and 60% rear). The concept reflects the tradition of the sports brand that takes us back to its origins, when the speed and power to weight ratio were the keys to a successful racing car, and the combination of these aspects with the Alfa Romeo with the road every day.
This car is not just a styling exercise created for the Motor Show, which will be released in 2012 and is expected to strengthen global growth of Alfa Romeo.
