Alfa Romeo 4C Spider is a two-seat convertible sports car with an attention-grabbing style and an opulent interior that’s impossible to miss. It belongs to racetracks and winding roads, but it gives an equally rich driving experience on highways. This vintage-looking supercar is meticulously designed to make every ride a thrilling and unforgettable experience with its many conveniences and attractive safety features. Here’s what makes this Alfa Romeo 4C Spider stand apart from the competition.

Models
Apart from the standard 4C Spider model, Alfa Romeo released two limited-edition trims, namely 4C Spider Italia and 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo. The Italia has a Misano blue metallic paint, an aluminum panel on the passenger side, and a plaque on the center console. On the other hand, the Tributo features a red body with carbon-fiber structure and leather and suede seats. Apart from this, both trims have almost identical features to the standard model.

Interior

4C Spider is a two-door track-focused supercar that provides enough room for racers to comfortably enjoy the drive. The car interior comes equipped with a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, HD Radio, satellite radio, a USB port, and Bluetooth. Its premium Alpine stereo upgrade adds better speakers and a subwoofer for amazing sound quality.

It also comes with leather upholstery, a leather-covered steering wheel, a dashboard, and door panels. Apart from that, it has paddle shifters and Brembo brakes. Its sports seats can be manually adjusted. For extra comfort, it offers rear compartment light, cargo pouch storage, power charging outlets, power windows, a tilt/telescoping steering column, and heated mirrors that can be easily activated with a mirror defroster.

Engine performance
Alfa Romeo 4C Spider is the rear-wheel drive connected to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. It is powered by a turbocharged 1.7-liter four-cylinder engine with 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. Its suspension is precisely calibrated for navigating a winding back road. It is not an ideal ride for traffic and city roads with potholes, but the car is easy to handle, agile, and a perfect fit for racing enthusiasts.

Fuel efficiency
The Alfa Romeo 4C Spider has quick acceleration and amps up to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. It also boasts an impressive fuel economy, getting an EPA-estimated 24 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. When properly equipped, it records a top speed of 160 mph.

Driver Assistance
One of its major attractive features is the back-up camera or rear parking sensor located at the top of the emblem. It projects a picture screen on the rearview mirror, giving a full view of the car’s rear end. Apart from that, it also comes with a lane change assist, a rearview camera, and Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) to help maintain control under extreme braking conditions. Its Electronic Stability Control System helps to improve stability. Along with these features, drivers also get a tire pressure monitoring system that sends warning for low pressure and general occupant restraint systems for passenger safety. An auto-close function locks doors automatically when the vehicle’s speed exceeds 12 mph.

Cost
The 4C Spider costs two to three times less than the more conventional supercars but offers just as much attention-grabbing style, comfort, and efficiency. The supercar was competitively priced at $71,033 during its prime time.

Warranty
Buyers receive a basic limited warranty on their Spider for 4 years or 50,000 miles on the odometer, whichever occurs first. Buyers have another option of Special Extended Warranty Coverage for corrosion. It covers the sheet metal panels for 3 years/unlimited miles and outer body sheet metal panels for 5 years/unlimited miles. Alfa Romeo offers complimentary maintenance service for up to 1 year or 10,000 miles.

Insurance
The cost of insuring the Alfa Romeo depends on the kind of auto insurance one needs, one’s credit score, age, driving history, location, and many other factors.
