Notes From The Driveway: 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider - Motor Authority
I was lucky enough to go on the media drive programs for both the Alfa Romeo 4C and the 4C Spider . Held at Sonoma Raceway and Laguna Seca, respectively, my time in both versions of Alfa Romeo's pocket supercar was pure, unadulterated fun. Luckily, a $73,395 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider showed up at my doorstep a few days ago and I got the opportunity to find out. Here are a few thoughts of mine after taking on the mean streets of Chicago in this tiny Italian sports car. Find the right road, and you will likely have more fun in the Alfa Romeo 4C than any car you've ever driven. This flyweight sticks to the road like glue, accelerates with authority despite only 1. 75 liters of power, and gives the driver more information about how the car is reacting to the road surface than any sports car on the market. The Alfa Romeo 4C is the purest sports car on the road today, and the only car I've ever driven that comes close is the Lotus Elise. It's the little Alfa's purity that's also its biggest weakness. The low-slung ride and carbon fiber tub structure make the Alfa the hardest car to get into and out of available today (at least it's better with the top off). The ride height also makes every car's headlights look like brights as they shine in your eyes, and the tall rear deck means rear visibility is limited, even with the top off.
