Alfa Romeo 4C
This pretty Italian marks the return of Alfa Romeo on Canadian roads. The chassis of this two-seater, mid-engine coupe is made of aluminum and carbon fibre, keeping weight down to just 1050 kg! The heart of the beast is a 1.7L turbocharged four-cylinder, offering 237 horsepower and 258 lbs.-ft. of torque. Paddles behind the steering wheel allow changing the gears of the six-speed dual-clutch automated manual. This hardcore sports car even offers a “Track” mode.
