The Alfa Romeo 4C Spider is all set to celebrate on the occasion of the European debut at the forthcoming Geneva Motor Show in 2015. The Italian sports car’s world premiere was held at the January Detroit Motor Show and will be followed at Geneva. The Spider will be shown side by side with the Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe.
Geneva has been chosen as the place for the debut of some features of the Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe. The sports car has now been provided with a Hi-Fi sound system, bi-LED headlights, a special car cover and car care kit and cruise control and parking sensors. The carbon fibre monocoque was engineered to support the removal of the roof with a number of tweaks. The 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, resultantly, needs only the addition of a carbon fibre hoop roll, beefed up upper body brackets and a new crossbeam in the mill.
The Alfa Romeo 4C Spider has utilized the same 1.75-litre turbocharged four-cylinder mill as the coupe can muster 237 hp and 258 pound-feet of torque. With this powertrain, the car can reach 98 kilometres per hour from rest in a matter of 4.1 seconds. The engine is mated to a paddle-shift dual-clutch transmission, which can withstand gear changes at a brisk 130 milliseconds at full throttle. Also, it offers a range of driving modes, wherein the engine can be optimized according to the transmission, engine, and electronic stability.
