Used Sports Cars - Alfa Romeo 4C - Sports Cars

It has been on everyone's lips for years: mythologized, criticized, praising.

TheAlfa Romeo 4C Undoubtedly, this caused a lot of noise. Also because she (along with Julia) had the difficult task of polishing sports pedigree brand Biscione.

And did it work? Partially. But the prerequisites were (and are) all: this is a car that is far from perfect, but it exciting under every aspect.

Alfa Romeo 4 C: specifications

TheAlfa Romeo 4C has a carbon fiber frame, rear drive, dry weight 950 kg and 1.750 four-cylinder turbo engine with 240 hp..

Il Speed is automatic double clutch, only a choice is available.

It is a tough and clean sport, but above all tough. Suspension, body and steering without power steering.

There is only there'ABS и electronic control, removable or removable: excellent.

Live it attracts more looks than a Ferrari, it has exotic proportions, A sex line и sound from racing cars.

Una miniature supercar, everything is Italian.

Alfa Romeo 4C: how are you? (Almost) good first ...

But how does it feel to drive?

Special, no doubt.

в Alfa Romeo 4C sit flush with the ground, beautifully built in, zero rear visibility and under the body “Click” all the pebbles and debris are felt right to the bone.

This is a car that does not provide much safety, not because it moves a lot, but on the contrary, it too "tied" to the road... And that's kind of a good thing, because he doesn't warn you when he's about to lose grip, and when he loses it, you should have a superhero reaction.

The steering does not help either: it is very heavy and moves steeply in the hands, tracking all the bumps in the road. All of this is extremely exciting, but also terrifying.

At a sports pace, withAlfa Romeo 4C, you must sweat seven shirts. A sports exhaust engine makes a sound so loud it's against the law. The 1750 cc pushes hard but has a very limited range: up to 2.500 rpm it is empty, from 2.500 to 5.000 it pulls very hard and then it goes out. But the dual-clutch box with paddle shifter on the steering wheel is the only “sweet” element of the car and fast enough.

A manual gearbox would be more in keeping with the character of the car, but given how much steering movement, you'll happily keep your hands attached to the steering wheel.

And finally, setting... There is no smooth enough road for this toughness: mechanical traction is very high and there is significant understeer in slow cornering. It takes a lot of work to get the back to slide, and when it starts it will never be as progressive. In short, this is not a drift car: it requires a clean, solid, precise drive and must be controlled by your head.

It demands respect like the cars of the past. However, there is one big certainty: braking. The braking system is crazy, almost oversized; the pedal has excellent modulation and the ABS is calibrated to really intervene at the last minute.

In short, the feeling is guide machine finishing only halfwayas if the final stage of development is missing. Want because of a lack of budget or a tight deadline. This is'exciting carno doubt, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Alfa Romeo 4C: used prices

The novelty costs 65.000 euros, while used, with a few km, is about 48.000 euro.

No devalued very, indeed, this is a machine that destined to rise in value. Of course, 50.000 euros is not a small amount for a car, but it should not be considered just as a beautiful toy: this is a real investment.

So if you're in luck and you can afford it, I'd give it a little thought.
