The 4C Concept offers optimum performance, thanks to the significant reductions in weight (less than 850kg) over its entire structure. Extensive research has allowed the Alfa Romeo 4C Concept to achieve a significant reduction in weight which creates agility and drivability on the most challenging roads.
On this supercar, technology derived from the 8C integrates and interacts with technology from Alfa Romeo’s “everyday” models.
The prototype, equipped with the powerful “4 cylinder” 1750cc engine offering over 200 HP, combined with the new “Alfa TCT” system, the latest generation automatic twin dry clutch transmission, can reach a top speed of over 150 mph and accelerate from 0-62 mph in under 5 seconds.
Carbon fibre is the key element around which all of the performance characteristics have been built: in particular, the chassis supports a body crafted completely from carbon, while the rear frame structure and the crash boxes comprise extensively of aluminium. The result: exceptional agility with a weight/power ratio of less than 4kg/HP.
Strength, power and agility are further increased by the use of an advanced architecture: the rear – wheel drive and the specific weight distribution (40% on the front axle and 60% on the rear), ensure that the vehicle behaves outstandingly on the road.
The Alfa Romeo 4C Concept is also equipped with a sophisticated suspension system which has been designed to guarantee maximum agility and road control: “high quadrilateral” at the front and MacPherson at the rear.
Enquiry Alfa Romeo have yet to formally made an announcement concerning the production and potential delivery dates concerning the 4C Concept. However as soon as an official announcement is made we will notify interested parties on how to progress their interest. |
The 4C Concept was born from ideas, ideas born from dreams... and from those dreams came a unique design and an outstanding experience. The Concept Car is the fruit of inspiration, intuition and conceptual research. And from there, form the desire to create something new and to experiment which is so typical of the Brand, came the 4C Concept, a new challenge signed Alfa Romeo.
The latest creation from the historic Brand, the Alfa Romeo 4C Concept combines performance, Italian style and technical excellence to create unique emotions both on the road and on the racetrack.

Agile and compact, these are the essential characteristics of the Concept Car which , thanks to its limited weight, achieved through extensive use of carbon, guarantees exceptional speed and extraordinary strength. A vehicle that screams Alfa, with its sports soul which creates unique driving sensations.
The Alfa Romeo 4C also brings a new colour, “Lava Red”, a natural combination of black and red, deep and vibrant at the same time.
