A lightweight and technologically advanced twin-turbo Alfa Romeo
Overhaul valid until November 2025
Recent paintwork of the entire bodywork
The Appeal
Every new Alfa Romeo is bound to set hearts racing. Despite this, the 4C, with its short and essential name, was an unexpected joy for enthusiasts. An advanced carbon fibre chassis made it light and maximised the performance of its 240 hp twin-turbo engine. Moreover, it was built alongside its more illustrious relatives at the Maserati factory in Modena.
The 4C was conceived as a kind of Alfa Romeo version of the Lotus Elise, a simple and essential sports car. Despite a warm reception, the high price held back sales, even when the range was expanded in 2015 with the addition of the Spider version. Only 9,116 were built, of which only 4,750 remained in Europe and only 829 were Spyders.
This low-mileage Spider is a rare opportunity to acquire one of these superb cars. Recently repainted in a very discreet black, it is in excellent condition and comes with a full maintenance history. It was most recently serviced less than 1,000 km ago. The recent and long-term overhaul makes this striking Italian sports car particularly attractive.

The 4C was a turning point for Alfa Romeo. There had been advanced, sports-oriented cars before, but nothing like the ultralight, technologically advanced roadster the company unveiled in 2014.
Built by Maserati in Modena and equipped with an advanced carbon fibre chassis, the 4C also looked incredible, sporting a stunning style more commonly associated with its Ferrari and Maserati siblings.
Inside, maximum attention was paid to simplicity and lightness. This was a car all about driving.
This very rare Spider embodies all these qualities and looks particularly attractive in its understated black colouring with matching interior. The paintwork has been completely restored recently so that the car presents itself to the buyer in a condition very close to that of a car on display at the dealership. Inside, the condition is mostly similar, with only slight wear around the driver's seat. This is clearly an example of this modern classic that was much loved and owned by an enthusiast.
Alfa Romeo four-cylinder 1,750 cc twin-turbo engine with 240 hp
Mid-engine and rear-wheel drive
6-speed dual-clutch transmission with full automatic or sequential option with steering-wheel-mounted controls
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km per hour in 4.1 seconds, although some journalists have achieved even better results
Comprehensive maintenance history, with the last maintenance carried out less than 1,000 km ago in March 2023
The technical specifications of the new 4C were very tempting. A carbon-fibre structure combined with the company's well-known 1,750 cc four-cylinder engine, which was naturally supercharged. With the addition of a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox, this car undoubtedly became the mini Ferrari Alfa Romeo wanted.
Performance was, inevitably, exceptional. Alfa Romeo claimed acceleration from 0 to 100 km per hour in 4.1 seconds, but, as journalists soon discovered, it was actually even faster.
This low-mileage car is owned by an enthusiast and benefits from a full maintenance history and a properly maintained service booklet. It was last serviced less than 1,000 km ago in March 2023. It comes with an overhaul valid until November 2025.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
