Alfa Romeo 4C

To say that the Alfa Romeo 4C is an important car for the Italian automaker can be construed as a massive understatement. With the brand having kept idle in the past few years, it needed something to jump start its business, and that's what the 4C is set to once it hits dealerships.

The car itself takes its name design from the 33 Stradale, "a car that combined extreme mechanical and functional requirements with an essential style.” In other words, Alfa Romeo worked hours on end on this car to ensure that it lives up to its promise of being a dynamic and agile sports car.

That much was accomplished. On top of that, though, the Italian automaker also fitted a 1.8-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine that's slated to develop more than 200 horsepower with a 0-to-100 km/h (62 mph) time of less than five seconds and a top speed of 155.34 mph.
