Alfa Romeo 4C Designer's Cut, an exclusive one-off created to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the compact supercar. Customized by Alessandro Maccolini of the Alfa Romeo Style Centre, the car is inspired by three fascinating settings.

The Alfa Romeo 4C, born in 2013, continues to embody the authentic values ​​of the Italian brand today: style, performance and technical excellence for maximum driving pleasure in complete safety. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the compact supercar, the Heritage department has created a unique edition, customized by Alessandro Maccolini of the Alfa Romeo Style Centre.

The “Alfa Romeo 4C Designer's Cut” project is part of Heritage's “Reloaded by Creators” programme, where the team led by Roberto Giolito creates one-offs or few-offs based on discontinued cars. This initiative aims to keep alive the timeless charm of the Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia and Abarth brands, restoring historic models to their original beauty through careful restoration work.

The 4C is a true masterpiece of Italian design and technology. His concept car made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 2011, causing unprecedented excitement among sports car lovers. In 2013, Alfa Romeo started production of this coupe, with a clear mission: to offer top-level performance, exciting design and technical excellence for an engaging drive.

The car, designed by the Alfa Romeo Style Centre, is inspired by iconic models from the brand's past, such as the legendary 33 Stradale and the Scarabeo, managing to combine mechanical requirements with an essential and refined style typical of Alfa Romeo. The interiors are equally essential, with particular attention to the driving experience. The exposed carbon fiber of the central cell creates a sense of lightness and technology, contributing to the low weight of the car, which stands at just 895 kg.

Under the bonnet, the 4C is equipped with a lively 4 cm³ 1750-cylinder turbo engine, capable of delivering 176 kW (240 HP) of power, combined with the "Alfa TCT" dual-clutch automatic transmission and the Alfa DNA selector with Race mode. Thanks to this combination, the car boasts impressive performance, with acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4,5 seconds and a top speed of over 250 km/h.

The bold and aerodynamic design of the 4C marries three different settings, which take inspiration from fans of the brand. The "4C Tributo" is characterized by the red color, symbol of Alfa Romeo sportiness and refinement. The "4C Corsa" stands out for its matt gray livery, which highlights the muscular shapes of the car and its exceptional performance. Finally, the "4C Leggenda" combines the history of the Alfa Romeo with pastel colors of the past, such as a sophisticated blue combined with technical white wheels.

Not surprisingly, the 4C is already considered an "instant classic" on the market, with prices steadily increasing. The transition to the electric world has rekindled the desire for internal combustion engine cars, such as the 4C, which represent an era of automotive purity. Its natural and recognizable style, combined with outstanding performance and carbon fiber construction, make it a car coveted by collectors.

The "Alfa Romeo 4C Designer's Cut" will be available for sale as an authentic collector's item, allowing enthusiasts to own a unique and unrepeatable work. Through the “Reloaded by Creators” programme, Heritage Stellantis keeps the fascination of vintage cars alive, returning authentic works of art to the automotive world.

The 4C compact supercar has won the hearts of enthusiasts all over the world and continues to be a car that stirs emotions. Its history, full of references to the iconic models of the past, is the demonstration of how the Alfa Romeo brand has been able to maintain its sporting soul and passion for Italian motoring over time. The 4C Designer's Cut represents the embodiment of these values, celebrating ten years of one of the most loved and desired cars in the automotive scene.

The “Alfa Romeo 4C Designer's Cut” project once again bears witness to the love for Italian craftsmanship and excellence in the world of motoring, combining tradition and innovation to create a unique and special work. The Alfa Romeo tribe and all enthusiasts are invited to actively participate in this initiative, expressing opinions and sharing the enthusiasm for this extraordinary car, which has marked the history of the brand and will continue to do so in the future.
