The new Alfa Romeo 4C is slated to debut to Seattle Alfa Romeo fans in 2012, the Rairdon Auto Group confirms. The new 4C recently made its debut at the 81st Geneva International Motor Show. Alfa Romeo states that the new 4C is a compact “supercar” which represents the true essence of a sports car, according to the brand’s values: performance, Italian style and technical excellence aimed at maximum driving pleasure in total safety.

Born from the experience acquired through the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione and 8C Spider models, the new concept car shares its rear-wheel drive with the exclusive supercars as well as its philosophy based on achieving maximum driving pleasure and the proverbial Alfa Romeo road handling.

The chassis supports a body crafted completely from carbon, inside which there is space for the driver and passenger, while the rear frame structure and the crash boxes use aluminum extensively. The final result is a significant reduction in weight, limited to less than 850 kg, as well as the optimization of the vehicle’s centre of gravity, which gives the advantage of increased agility and drivability on the most challenging roads.

New Alfa Romeo Lineup Will Impress Seattle Fans

Alfa Romeo explains that the name “4C” is suggestive of the sports driving pleasure which only the spectacular “4 cylinder” 1750 Turbo Petrol engine which offers over 200 HP can bring. Already featured on a number of models in production, for example the Giulietta Quadrifoglio Verde, the engine boasts cutting-edge technical solutions such as direct injection, dual continuous variable valve timing, turbocharger and the revolutionary scavenging control system which eliminates turbo lag.

Seattle Alfa Romeo fans will be able to meet and experience the new 4C when it arrives in 2012. Seattle Alfa Romeo fans have been anxiously awaiting the return of the Alfa Romeo car to the US marketing for nearly 20 years.
