The turbocharged 4-cylinder gasoline engine draws its power from the traditional Alfa Romeo displacement of 1,750 cubic centimeters. He was with a view to use in the new 4C on both the A-like outlet optimized again thoroughly.
The power to weight with Alfa Romeo's "less than 4 kg per horsepower" to. If we go from a total weight of 1,200 kilograms (and much more likely the extremely compact construction Alfa-athletes do not get on the scale), it would mean that the small 1.75-liter engine will mobilize at least 300 hp.
This unit in all-aluminum construction, the sophisticated Alfa TCT automatic transmission (with dual dry clutch) in combination with rear-wheel drive and an additional "Race" mode for the Alfa DNA vehicle dynamics program suggest a correspondingly ambitious dynamics.
For the mid-engine sports car takes Alfa Romeo back to materials that were used also in the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione. The material mix of carbon fiber aluminum to facilitate the total weight of a few pounds. In addition, the Alfa 4C is extremely compact: it is less than 4 meters long, 200 meters wide center, 118 cm tall and has a wheelbase of just under 2.4 meters.
A straightforward design language also characterizes the interior of the Alfa Romeo 4C. Clearly visible: the unclad portions of the carbon fiber chassis. They emphasize its function as a protective cell survival and emphasize both the very light such as high strength "framework" of 4C.
The in-house Centro Stile Alfa Romeo 4C will be built in the subscribed Maserati Modena factory, it comes in the course of 2013 to the market.
