2015 Alfa Romeo 4C: The Most Affordable Supercar!

On this episode of Ignition, Carlos Lago gets behind the wheel of the new 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C to see if Italy’s reintroduction into the entry level sports car market is worth all that it’s hyped up to be. With it’s dynamic handling, lively 1.7L turbo soundtrack, and it’s expertly crafted F1-style carbon fiber tub, the 4C is essentially a $55,000 supercar on paper.

The car puts 237hp and 258 ft/lbs of torque at 21 psi in a vehicle under 2,500 lbs.  This moves the car 0 – 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and has a top end of 160 mph. But how will it perform on the mountain roads and in our usual gamut of tests? Stay tuned to find out.
