Sporting heart starts to beat the Alfa Romeo. A few days ago news was leaked, and fans had been dreaming. Now everything is official. The Alfa Romeo 4C concept took off their veils at the Geneva Motor Show 2011 showing the values of the brand: performance, Italian style and technical excellence aimed at maximum driving satisfaction in complete safety.
The new concept has the classic formula of rear-wheel drive coupe 2-seater with the engine in central position, a length of about 4 meters and a wheelbase of less than 2.4 m dimensions that highlight the talents of its compact car and accentuate the characteristics of agility. Marked by a sinuous line and essential, with the same principle has been described an arrangement of particular edge, maintaining equipment and devices more directly related to the use of the sports car.
Concept are placed on the Alfa Romeo 4C technologies and materials derived from the 8C Competizione - carbon, aluminum, rear-wheel drive - and technologies derived from the Alfa Romeo models currently on sale: 1750, with turbo gasoline direct injection, dual-clutch gearbox dry " Alfa TCT and the Alfa DNA switch for dynamic control of the vehicle.
The engine already in use on Juliet Quadrifoglio Verde is double continuous variable valve timing and a revolutionary control system called "scavenging" that eliminates the so-called "turbolag. Provides performance comparable or superior to those of a 3 liters while fuel consumption remains at moderate levels and own a 4-cylinder compact.
Born from the experience with the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione and 8C Spider, the new concept car shares with the exclusive supercar rear-wheel drive and philosophy based on achieving maximum driving pleasure combined with the proverbial road holding Alfa Romeo. Goal achieved by following the path of the Concept 4C weight reduction through the extensive use of carbon, which plays here also a structural function (the frame is derived from KTM X-Bow will be shared with the Abarth 1000) to ensure a ' exceptional agility with a power to weight ratio less than 4 kg / hp.
In detail, the case provides a tank made entirely of carbon is obtained in which the space for driver and passenger, while the structure of the housing and the "crash box" is obtained with the use of aluminum. The end result is a significant reduction in the weights below 850 kg, with optimum center of gravity for the benefit of agility and driving in more demanding routes.
The 4C concept can exceed 250 km / h top speed and accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in under 5 seconds. Adopt high double wishbone front suspension and McPherson scheme for the rear. This car is not destined to remain an exercise in style but will be out in 2012 going to enhance the overall growth plan for Alfa Romeo.
