Alfa Romeo 4C Spider

The sexy mid-engined Italian made Alfa Romeo 4C Spider.

Powered by a turbo four and weighing less than 2500 pounds, its boffo power-to-weight ratio matches its zippy steering. The 4C practically anticipates road challenges, corners like it’s on rails and is made completely of carbon fiber much like the McLaren.

The 4C is actually a ton of fun once you’re used to it. It’s rare that you’re in a car these days that’s this low to the ground and feels this pure and light. You sit right over the front axle, it reacts to your every input, it’s like driving a mini Ferrari. That’s what makes it so cool.

In the Alfa everyone wants to talk to you about it or take a photo of it. You’ll get thumbs up, questions, people telling you they used to have an Alfa, and everything in between. Kids will run up to you, adults will stare at you jealously wishing they could have one. It’s just that sort of car, the allure of the Ferrari, the components of the high end McLaren making it pure fun to drive.
