The curvaceous Alfa Romeo 4C continues on its path towards a mid-2013 launch, Autocar reports. That’s not really a surprise, despite being described as a release earlier than first planned.
What is a surprise is Autocar‘s suggestion the 4C will launch with a 300hp (224kW) version of its turbocharged 1750cc engine. Don’t forget the 4C is expected to weigh around 900kg, so we’re talking genuine supercar performance here.
It had previously been tipped a lower-spec 230hp (170kW) engine would be the only option when the 4C first hits the market.
It’s no surprise the high-powered 1750cc unit has been slated for use across the Fiat Group family. That means we can expect to see it employed in models from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Lancia.
Bring it on!
