Alfa Romeo 4c

Alfa Romeo has unveiled a unique model of the cool 4C Spider, representing the final production run of the car for North America. Alfa is sending the 4C Spider out with a bang with a special edition limited to only 33 units for North America called the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider 33 Stradale Tributo.

Word on the street is that Alfa Romeo will be updating its 4C sports car for 2019. According to a report from Autocar, the new 4C will be significantly updated, and will include a revised suspension and steering, and possibly even a new engine.

When I was 15, all I wanted to drive in the entire world was an Alfa Romeo Spider. I couldn’t find one of those so my mom ended up spending $500 on a decent looking, but in terrible need of restoration late ’70s Triumph Spitfire.

There’s no question that the Alfa Romeo 4C and its open-top Spider version are two of the most beautiful cars designed in the last decade. It’s no wonder, with Pininfarina’s Lorenzo Ramaciotti having penned its design.

Most top five lists are pointless, like those Facebook quizzes that purport to tell you which Avengers character most resembles your personality. But like those Facebook quizzes, top five lists are also fun. The fine folks at XCAR put together this video listing the top five cars they’ve ever had the privilege to drive.

Alfa Romeo’s intention of pulling a seat back up to the American automotive table takes the form of a car that’s about as niche as they come. It’s not a family sedan, nor is it an SUV.

We’ve coveted the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider for a while, and now we know what it’s going to cost to get into the open air cockpit of the beautiful convertible. And just in time for summer.
