Kaz interviews an Alfa expert from our trip to The London Motoshow in the 4c Spider. Halfway through they get video bombed by a lady who said her husband would have bought an Alfa Spider had she not agreed to marry her. We didn’t get to speak to the husband to see if he thought he had made the correct decision or not 🙂
Here are the figures of that particular car:
Alfa Romeo 4c Spider 1750 TBi 240bhp ALFA TCT Spider
External colour: Madreperla White (216)
Upholstery: Red leather with black stitching
Engine Capacity: 1742

The ALFA TCT is a twin dry semi automatic clutch with launch control giving the quickest gear changes.
The 73 kilogram chassis is made from a single carbon fibre body, front and rear frames and the crankcase are made of aluminium. The body of the car is made from SMC composite which whilst being equally as strong is 20% lighter than steel.
This is the key to the car, it has one of the lowest weight/power ratios less than 4kg/hp.
