Get ready for the new Alfa Romeo 4C
I don’t know about any of you, but I’ve always thought of Alfa Romeo as an exceptionally stylish and premium brand- and now it’s about to get better! A new Alfa Romeo that boasts extraordinary performance, unique handling, extreme aerodynamics and design that takes up the stylistic features of the Alfa Romeo tradition, has finally arrived in South Africa- the Alfa Romeo 4C.
The Alfa Romeo 4C is a lightweight car where everything has been designed to provide total driving pleasure. That same essentiality shaped its design. The car expresses a “natural beauty” that results from a perfect blend of function and form. Its layout and size immediately brings one of the most beautiful coupés of all time to mind, the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. Like the legendary 33 Stradale, the 4C is designed to meet extreme mechanical and functional requirements. Its body aerodynamically ‘covers’ the engine and chassis with clean and essential surfaces.
I’m not ordinarily one for fast muscle-cars, but this one excites me. This vehicle quite simply screams Alfa. Its sports car soul creates unique driving sensations, both on the road and when racing, where velocity and transverse accelerations offer even the most expert driver unrivalled driving thrills: from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds flat. It’s not cheap though, you can expect to pay R870 000!
