The overview

Alfa's 4C is a super-light two-seat, mid-engine sports car for people who live more for the track than their commute. In concept it resembles the departed Lotus Elise, but with slightly more creature comforts. It weighs only about 2,500 pounds. The 4C is powered by a 1.7-liter turbo four that cranks out 237 hp and uses a dual-clutch six-speed automated manual that can be shifted manually. With its feather-like weight, low center of gravity, and race car-like weight distribution, the 4C is a pure sports car that's fun to drive, with superlative handling. However, the unassisted steering requires a high effort at low speeds, visibility is challenging, and access is arduous. A Spider version is available with a removable fabric roof panel.

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
