The Alfa Romeo 4C Collects More Critical Acclaim As It Goes On Sale In More Markets Worldwide

As the Alfa Romeo 4C arrives in more markets, it is quickly adding more accolades to the long list of those it has already picked up since its European rollout. As the first cars arrive in dealerships in the U.S. the new Alfa Romeo 4C has been named “Best Performance and Luxury Car to Buy” by Motor Authority and has picked up the “Sports Car” award in the Popular Mechanics 2014 Car Awards. It was also named a 2015 AUTOMOBILE “All-Star”, an accolade that reflects what the magazine’s enthusiast readers most want to drive. Inspired by the 1967 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale, the Alfa Romeo 4C evokes the spirit of its processors by making advanced, race car-inspired technologies attainable. Designed and engineered in Italy and built at the Maserati plant in Modena, the mid-engined supercar employs a carbon-fibre monocoque to increase chassis rigidity and reduce weight to just 895kg resulting in astonishing handling characteristics capable of generating up to 1.1g of lateral acceleration and more than 1.2g of deceleration force.
