16 Mar 2014|5,211 views
The Alfa Romeo 4C was chosen by Eurosport Events as the Safety Car of the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) for the entire 2014 season.
Designed by Alfa Romeo engineers and built at the Maserati plant in Modena, the Alfa Romeo 4C is the brand's modern icon and represents the essential sportiness embedded in the 'Alfa Romeo DNA': performance and technical excellence for maximum driving pleasure combined with a breathtaking style.
The mid-engined, rear-wheel drive, two-seater coupe is a true, uncompromised driving machine that delivers its best on the track, where speed, short braking distances and transverse acceleration are essential in achieving first-rate performance times - 0 to 100km/h in 4.5 seconds, 257km/h top speed, 1.2g of deceleration force and lateral acceleration forces in excess of 1.1g. This is thanks to an optimum weight distribution - 40:60 front to rear - and its ultra-lightweight construction - comprised largely of carbon fibre, aluminium and SMC - which results in a dry weight of just 895kg.
The first-rate performance is also due to the combination of the new 240bhp 1750 Turbo Petrol engine with the latest generation 'Alfa TCT' twin dry clutch transmission and the advanced Alfa DNA selector with the new Race mode. The all-aluminium engine, complete with direct injection and a high-performance turbo charger, sets new power and torque records for the segment, at over 137bhp/L and 200N/L respectively.
The Alfa Romeo supercar is therefore the perfect car to play the role of 'Safety Car' in the FIA WTCC, the international competition for production-derived saloon cars.
The Alfa Romeo 4C was chosen by Eurosport Events as the Safety Car of the FIA World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) for the entire 2014 season.
The decision is a result of the Alfa Romeo 4C being named 'Most Beautiful Car of 2013' at the 29th International Automobile Festival of Paris. The compact supercar was the winner of the poll organised, in partnership with the International Automobile Festival (IAF), on Eurosport's international website network. Eurosport produces and promotes the FIA WTCC through its Eurosport Events division.
