The Fiat-Chrysler group unveiled the production version of the all-new Alfa Romeo 4C Tuesday — a sexy supercar that will spearhead the brand's return to the United States later this year.
The curvaceous mid-engine coupe will debut at the International Motor Show in Geneva next month. It is a rear-wheel drive sports car powered by the company's four-cylinder 1750 Turbo Petrol all-aluminum engine mated to Alfa's TCT twin clutch automatic transmission.
The new engine features direct fuel injection, dual continuous variable valve timing, a turbocharger and "a revolutionary scavenging control system that gets rid of any turbo lag," the company promises. The dry-clutch transmission is paddle controlled. Alfa is keeping mum on the performance figures but promises a weight-to-power ratio of less than 4 kg per horse thanks to an all-carbon fiber chassis.
