Alfa Romeo 4C
Nobody expected such a car from Alfa. The 4C was kind of a “junior supercar” with a carbon fiber tub, a cramped interior, and a four-cylinder turbocharged engine behind the driver. It looks like the classic Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. The goal was to make the 4C as light as possible. So there were no power steering components and luxury items. The result was a highly capable little sports car weighing under 1000 kg. There was no need for power steering (via EVO).
The heart of the 4C is a tiny, 1.8-liter engine with a turbocharger that delivers 238 hp to the rear wheels. The performance is amazing as you would expect. And 0 to 60 mph is possible in 4.7 seconds while the 4C can top 160 mph. The downside is that the car is extremely wide. However, interior space is limited and the ride is very harsh since the suspension is tuned for the race track rather than street use.
