Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo has added a new unit to its supercar segment, the new 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C coupe, which will be available from fall of 2014.
The new supercar is powered by the 1.75L four-cylinder direct-injection turbo engine paired with an Alfa TCT dual clutch transmission to deliver an output of 237hp and 350Nm at 1,700 rpm.
Alfa Romeo 4C coupe's new engine features direct-injection, intercooler, dual intake and exhaust continuous variable-valve timing (VVT), a camshaft with eight counterweights, and intake and exhaust systems.
Alfa Romeo CEO Harald Wester said, "With its technological solutions derived directly from Formula 1, the Alfa Romeo 4C creates an infusion of body and machine, an extension of its driver's soul that is ready, capable and willing to respond and deliver."
The two-seater sports an all-aluminum engine with paddle-shifting twin-clutch transmission, calibrated software that adjusts with Alfa DNA selector system and the launch control mode, which delivers better acceleration.
Alfa Romeo 4C is said to have a 160mph top speed with acceleration of 0-60mph in 4secs.
Features of the vehicle include a new turbocharger with pulse-converter exhaust manifold, bi-xenon headlamps with LED illuminated daytime running lights, front fascia with side air intakes, carbon fiber rear spoiler and mirror caps, race suspension tuning with front- and rear-sway bars and shock absorbers.
The vehicle also has a racing exhaust, 18-inchand 19-inch forged wheels painted in Matte Black in front and rear respectively, red lacquered brake calipers, sport seats with black microfiber, as well as leather wrapped instrument panel and door panels.
