Concept Pictures with New Alfa Romeo 4C
Alfa Romeo just revealed its updated 4C sports car ready for its 2011 Frankfurt motor show debut.
At the next month’s Frankfurt 2011 motor show event, Alfa Romeo will show this updated 4C sports car concept. At Geneva motor show earlier this year, the blood-red 4C concept stole the event with its mini-me 8C Competizione styling and mid-engine/rear-drive layout. Six months later this ‘Fluid Metal’ coloured car should renew interest in Alfa’s Porsche Cayman rival.
The specifications haven’t been changed, so it’s still a taut, lightweight car. At four metres nose-to-tail it’s the same lenght as Alfa Romeo’s Mito supermini, and around 35cm shorter than the Cayman. At 850kg, it’s also around 500kg ligher. That welterweight is achieved by carbon and aluminium construction, including a carbonfibre tub from Dallara, who develops the same technology for the KTM X-Bow.
200bhp-plus, 1750cc turbocharged petrol engine is mounted behind the driver and the passenger and powers the rear wheels via a TCT twin-clutch automatic gearbox, which also filters down to the Mito and Giulietta hatchbacks at Frankfurt.
Also on Alfa Romeo’s Frankfurt show will be a 0.9-litre TwinAir version of the Mito, with the 84bhp 875cc two-cylinder turbo petrol engine from its Fiat 500 TwinAir cousin getting emissions and injecting some character into the Mini Cooper rival.
