The Alfa Romeo 4C

The 4C is Alfa Romeo's first mass-produced vehicle of the 21st century to re-enter the North American automotive market.

The 4C uses a new all-aluminium 1.75 L (1,742 cc) inline 4 cylinder turbocharged engine producing 240 horsepower (180 kW) at 6000 rpm. The engine has been designed for minimum weight. The engine's combined fuel consumption 6.8 L/100 km (42 mpg-imp; 35 mpg-US). 0–62 miles per hour (0–100 km/h) acceleration is achieved in 4.5 seconds and the top speed is 258 km/h (160 mph), the power-to-weight-ratio being just 0.267 hp/kg (8.22 lb/hp).
