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.

Seattle Alfa Romeo Dealer Awaits an Italian Jeep

This literal hybrid is a combination of Alfa Romeo and Jeep, and our Seattle Alfa Romeo dealership can’t be more excited! Although Jeep is not know for their style, they are an American classic that captures the essence of America. The cars will be built at Fiat’s Mirafiori, Italy plant in Turin, where the Alfa Romeo Mito is currently being produced. The plant will get a major facelift in preparation for these two machines. Fiat, and Rairdon’s Seattle Alfa Romeo dealership, hopes to have vehicles flying out of the plant by the third quarter of 2012.

Some speculate the Jeep and Alfa Romeo combo will take cues from Fiat’s Compact Wide architecture that was first seen on the new Alfa Romeo Giuletta. The first Jeeps to reach the production line in Italy will be the Jeep Compass and Patriot. Both of these Jeeps already look good, so an Italian twist should be interesting.

This union will assist Alfa Romeo compete in the SUV class, which includes Audi Q5 and BMW X3. To start, Jeep will get more than half of the annual production, around 150,000 units of the 280,000 being created. Alfa Romeo dealers will get the remaining units and half of every model built will be shipped here, to the United States.

People, generally, are unsure of how Americans will take to an Italian Jeep, but whatever the outcome; this Seattle Alfa Romeo dealership is on the edge of its driver’s seat.
