The return of an icon

It’s as sporty and sleek as one would expect from the Italian brand, with its striking looks and impressive performance. If you’re the kind of driver who wants to feel like the road is your race course, this is the car for you.

5 reasons to buy the 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C
1. Balanced performance
You might assume that an ultra-sporty little car like the 2015 Alfa-Romeo 4C would guzzle gas like there’s no tomorrow, but it achieves great mpg, partly thanks to its lightweight design. The 2015 Alfa-Romeo 4C achieves an EPA-estimated 28 combined mpg from its 1.7L engine.
2. Ideal for performance-oriented drivers
If you're most interested in the feel of a car when out on the road, the 2015 Alfa-Romeo 4C really delivers. The engine is fairly small at 1.7L, but it’s a turbocharged four-cylinder achieving 237 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. A four-mode driving selector and electronically-controlled rear differential come as standard.
3. Sporty style
The eye-catching 2015 Alfa-Romeo 4C looks as sporty and sleek as one would expect from an Italian car. The shell is carbon fiber with aluminum used for the suspension, crash supports, and roof structures. Everything about it is made for the open road and it looks most at home there, making it an ideal choice if you love to drive for the sheer fun of it.
4. At home at high speeds
The 2015 Alfa-Romeo 4C is race-tuned to a significant degree, meaning it’s happiest when it can drive at high speeds. That’s how you will get the most out of this vehicle – not through cramped city commuting but on a track for a race day, or on big scenic winding roads. The base trim of the 2015 Alfa-Romeo 4C with the Track pack and sport exhaust can achieve zero to 60 in just 4.2 seconds, and you wouldn't want that to go to waste.
5. Light on its feet
One of the reasons the 2015 Alfa-Romeo 4C is so zippy at high speeds is its low weight. Its size and carbon-fiber body mean it weighs only 2,500 lbs. As a result, its 1.7L engine – which can be viewed through a glass panel like a Ferrari – is more than enough to have the 2015 Alfa-Romeo 4C flying on the road. The 237 hp feels like much more in a small car, and the paddle shifters allow you to flick through gears with ease.
