2014 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider

This is the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and it'll enter production in 2015

2014 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider

The Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, which is more of a targa than convertible, will be displayed on the Alfa stand at the Geneva Motor Show.  It has a canvas roof, weighs 60kg more than the coupe and has a few new features over the hard top model.

The most apparent is the headlights.  The 4C is a gorgeous looking car but the headlights were never going to win any beauty contests.  This appears to have been resolved with a pair of xenon beams behind a glass cover.

Also new is an Akrapovic exhaust which improves efficiency and performance, and enhances the exhaust note.  The performance of the Spider is almost identical to that of the coupe.  The 1.7 litre, turbocharged engine takes it from 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds.
