Alfa Romeo 4C
The Alfa Romeo is no friend to comfort and cargo space. The 4C, offered as a coupe or a roadster, is for purists, driving enthusiasts and real diehards only! Thanks to its carbon fibre construction, it weighs just 1118 kg. Its mid-mounted engine—a turbocharged, 1.7L four cylinder turbo—may seem small, but it pumps out 237 horsepower and 258 lb·ft of torque, helping this Italian rocket sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in only 5.3 seconds.
