Alfa Romeo 4C Spider 2015

Alfa Romeo shows the North American International Auto Show convertible variant of the Alfa Romeo 4C . Spider 4C design has remained unchanged to the prototype presented at the last Geneva Motor Show.

The only difference to 4C Spider aesthetic level production is that the concept loses double central exhaust outlet Akrapovic mounted, and the concept was standard. The production version of risk less and decides to mount a side exit exhausts as mounted version with closed roof. Another curious detail of the design of this car is its "false" air intake that is only found in one of the sides of the car, just ahead of the rear wheel. And more than an aesthetic detail could serve to cool the oil cooler.

Analyzing the data sheet you can see that the difference in weight between the Spider and Coupé is only 10 kg. This apart from the fact of not having ceiling is due to its monocoque carbon fiber, which does not lose torsional and bending stiffness but do not expect ceiling. What if he wins the Spider variant is a stronger anti-roll bar, which is located behind the seats. The windshield and part of the engine compartment is also strengthened.

Although the ceiling is not shown in the official photos of Spider 4C, if it has a detachable, which is mounted entirely manually, as is done in the Lotus Elise. With ceiling mounted 4C Spider is capable of reaching a top speed of 258 km / h, while its revenue acceleration from 0 to 97 miles per hour (60 miles per hour to be an American model) is 4.1 seconds , whenever we use the "Launch Control" driving mode "Race".

The engine of which we have not talked about yet is the same as riding variant roof closed. A gasoline turbocharged 1.7-liter, 241 horsepower, which is associated with a automatic gearbox TCT guy with six-speed dual clutch.

Alfa Romeo has announced (at least in the US) that only 40% of the production of the 4C will be the convertible version, which will come with a small premium over the coupe.
