The seller offers for sale this 2018 Alfa Romeo 4C, a lightweight mid-engined sports car that blends Italian design with cutting-edge engineering. With only 12,917 km and one careful owner, this example has been serviced yearly and remains in original, unmodified condition. Under the sleek carbon fibre monocoque body lies a 1.75-litre turbocharged inline-four engine producing 240 hp and 350 Nm of torque, 80% of which is available from just 1,700 rpm. Paired with a dual-clutch automatic transmission, it propels the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 255 km/h.
Built at Maserati’s Modena facility, the 4C features a chassis weighing just 65 kg, constructed using Formula 1-derived carbon fibre technology. The front and rear substructures and rollover cage are made from aluminium, contributing to the car’s total dry weight of just 895 kg. This low mass combined with a rigid structure and balanced layout (rear-wheel drive, mid-engine) results in a highly responsive and focused driving experience, especially on winding roads or the track.
The bodywork is finished in its factory BASF paint in the shade “Red Competition” (code VR.134/B), showing no signs of damage or respray. Lighting, indicators, and other electrical functions are in working order, and the car has a valid roadworthiness certificate.
The interior, trimmed in black leather with red stitching, is in beautiful condition. Leather covers the seats, dashboard, and steering wheel, showing no signs of wear or tear. The cabin retains its new-car scent, and the overall atmosphere aligns with the minimal use. As expected, the car includes paddle shifters and sport-focused instrumentation. No interior replacements are needed, and everything is said to function as intended.
Mechanically, the car is reported to be in good condition. The car has not been modified from its original factory state. With no technical upgrades such as aftermarket brakes or suspension systems, it remains true to Alfa Romeo’s performance-focused formula.
The Alfa Romeo 4C was introduced in 2013 as a bold return to lightweight performance for the Italian marque. It drew inspiration from classic models like the 33 Stradale and modernised the concept with a revolutionary carbon fibre tub, a material previously reserved for exotic supercars. Designed by Centro Stile Alfa Romeo and produced by Maserati, the 4C was built with minimal concessions to comfort, focusing instead on purity of drive.
With no power steering, minimal sound insulation, and sharp throttle response, the 4C is often described as a modern-day analogue sports car in a digital age. It was one of the few production cars in its class to combine such an extreme weight-saving philosophy with Italian design flair. Despite its compact dimensions and four-cylinder engine, the car delivers thrilling dynamics and a raw connection to the road rarely found in newer sports cars.
Originally introduced as a coupe, followed by a Spider variant, the 4C was available in limited numbers globally. This particular example, presented in a desirable colour and with exceptionally low mileage, remains one of the most engaging modern driver’s cars under the Alfa Romeo badge. With production ending in 2020, values have held firm, and interest continues to rise among enthusiasts seeking a focused, analogue sports car with iconic heritage.
