Alfa 4C - 400bhp

[Guy]

I bought a car from these guys last week and saw this fantastic beast. Apparently 50k spent on the full conversion!! It looks even better in the flesh.

I do like that, been mentioned on the Alfa page….im a little uneasy about buying a one off though….not sure it’ll fetch that money

Didn’t JayEmm drive that and was far from impressed with it. He definitely drove an Alfaworkshop tuned car.

I had a 4C Spider with an Alfaworkshop re-map and their fast-road front suspension mods. It was £1,000 for the re-map, including a spare ECU so you could swap back in 10 mins, and around £400 for the suspension work. It was unbelievably fast. You really had to re-calibrate what was safe and possible when it came to overtaking and it "only" had 280bhp. Whilst I'm sure 400bhp is fun, I don't think it's a VFM proposition.

That sounds like a sensible way to go. This one has the bigger engine, and pas, new interior, forged wheels, suspension and goodness know what else! It looks like that £50k invested is a premium of £10k now? I am not at all knowledgeable about these but in the flesh it looked incredibly good. Nice guys too.

A remap and suspension upgrade is all thats needed in these

Agree Dem, it should have always came out of the factory with these upgrades. The car would have had better reviews then. Great to look at but flawed to drive especially quickly. The one I drove was rather scary when pushing on and didn’t feel like Alfa hadn’t finish the testing before production. So nervous in the corners. The above sorted that out and it becomes a very good car.

As a big time Alfisti I still can't decide if I like 'em. Would get over to Jamie Porter though for sure.

I think I would probably prefer an Exige V6....

I cannot enter or egress an Exige so may be the 4C would be the same. Both highly desirable cars but the 4C seems to have lacked development from the factory.

Hard to argue it's not impressive with a carbon tub etc, looks good too. The parpy engine puts me off though.

Weirdly it doesn't in an Alpine A110, another car I think I'd put ahead of the 4C.....

Alpine is certainly on my bucket list, probably the only new car I could ever consider buying.
