Production-ready Alfa Romeo 4C to get Geneva debut - Latest Cars Wallpapers

The car promises to be an enthusiast's dream, with a projected curb weight of under 2,200lbs and a power output of about 300 horsepower. Its motivator will sit between the axles and behind the driver and passenger, with 1,742cc of displacement and a turbocharger. Its specific output of 171hp per liter is the highest in the industry.

The sole transmission will be a dual-clutch six-speed, sources say.

The same informants speaking to AutoCar revealed the production car will stay true to the concept. Production numbers aren't set, as the car will be built to order in Italy and exported to various markets.

The car should be offered to U.S. buyers as soon as the brand relaunches, likely to be sometime in 2013 or 2014. A drop-top should follow sometime later, likely by 2015.

Pricing is the only other unknown, and would likely largely hinge on whether the car retains the concept's use of carbon fiber body panels. More likely, the production car will utilize much less expensive sheet-molded composites.
