Alpine A110 VS Alfa Romeo 4C: FACEOFF – Sports car
Exotic sports cars, light weight, medium engine and stunning looks. Who will be the best on paper?
One Ferrari kid, oneAlfa Romeo extreme, clean, 4C; the other is a remake of a classic sports car from the 60s.Alpine A110. It is truly amazing how similar these two cars are: they both have a center-mounted turbo engine, the same displacement, the same type of transmission and rear-wheel drive. They weigh little (about 1000 kg) and are designed only to please the driver.
Let's take a look at the paper the differences between the two.
In short
Alfa Romeo 4C
| Potenza | 240 Cv |
| couple | 320 Nm |
| 0-100 km / h | 4,5 seconds |
| V-Max | 262 km / h |
| price | 65.500 euro |
Alpine A110
| Potenza | 252 CV |
| couple | 320 Nm |
| 0-100 km / h | 4,5 seconds |
| V-Max | 250 km / h |
| price | 57.200 euro |
dimensions
TheAlfa Romeo 4C is shorter of the two, but it is also larger. WITH 399 см in length e 186 wide, from the outside it looks placed and "square", which is really very exotic. Growth, or rather meanness, a record: hardly 118 see.
TheAlpine A110 it is longer than almost 20 см (418 total) and maximum 7 см (125 total), which gives more head and leg room, but also narrower than 6 see. The stride is also longer than that of the Italian: 242 см против 238 see.
Il the weight it is very similar, but the Italian carbon frame and the smaller dimensions make it a little lighter: just 1009 kg against i 1103 kg the French.
Thus, the Italian is lower, lighter and has a shorter wheelbase., in favor of dexterity. However, it also makes her more nervous and difficult to control beyond her limit. Alpine, on the other hand, is more resilient and stable when it loses traction.
Potenza
The engine is very similar: both are equipped with a four-cylinder engine. 1,8 l turbo, 1798 cc per l 'alpine e 1742 cc (the famous "1750") forAlpha.
What the Frenchman delivers 252 h.p. inlet 6000 e 320 Nm inlet 2000, while Alpha has 240 h.p. up to 6000 inputs and 320 Nm up to 2.200 inputs.
The same couple for both, therefore, even if the Alpine is slightly lower. It also wins the competition with 12 hp, but the weight-to-power ratio favors the Alfa, which with 4,20 kg per CV slightly superior to the French (4,37 kg per CV).
They both have Automatic transmission (option only) 6-speed dual clutch.
performance
We come to the performance:Alpha and l 'alpine they both break away from 0-100 km / h in 4,5 seconds, a truly impressive time. Then the Italian reaches out to 258 km / h, and the French are stopped by the electronic limiter a 250 km/time. I consumption? Alpine is better with 6,1 l / 100 km in a combined cycle that become 6,8 l / 100 km for the Alpha.
Ultimately, the cars are very similar in size, power and performance, but very different in behavior, heavier than an Alfa, lighter and faster than an Alpine.
