Description: For those thinking that 237 hp simply isn't enough, consider this: the 4C has a carbon-fiber chassis that will keep overall weight down which in turn will enable it to remain on par performance-w...

The evo is horribly thirsty. A lower output increases efficiency improves reliability and reduces costs. The car is light it doesn't need any more. Also for a small italian coupe its not that badly priced there is only 2,000 being made
The 4c's motor makes 6 hp/ liter less, and it costs 15 grand more. Despite the car's low weight I'd still expect at least the same power, if not more.
I'd disagree that 237 is a good output for a turbo 1.7. It's not uncommon to see turbocharged engines with better specific output, even well below 50k. Look at the Mitsubishi Evo, it's 2.0 turbo makes 291 hp, an efficiency of 145 hp/liter.
I like the idea but 50k is too much. I'll just buy a Brz and turbo it.
$50k is the new $35k. This will be sweet! If it really weighs in significantly less vs Porsche, the resulting competition between Alfa/Porsche will be awesome! New models going to be incredible down the road.
That in a car that weighs so little and looks so good means its super worth it
Keep in mind though that 237 hp out of a 1.7 liter engine is great. Plus its turbo so if you do have the experience you claim to have about tuning small engines, you would know that this could easily reach 300hp and torque with bolt ons and a tune
Maybe it's just my supercar bias and/or experience with tuning small engines but it's hard for me to stomach $50k for a 4-banger.
Carbon fiber chassis, limited production to 2000, it's going to cost more than $50k I'm sure.
Description: What's interesting is that this number includes the track-only version and the road-going Stradale, both coming in 2014 with even more horsepower. We'll have further details in the coming we...

I like the tape holding the rear tail lights, very stylish, very Italian. The mechanic work order holder is a factory equipped option for the rear hatch. Smart.
I would tune it up to 550 HP, maybe even more
Wonder what the torque is
I do believe they refer to the engine as 1.75
I think they really focused on handling over power but the stradale will probably be more powerful. I hope.
I hate this. I know for a fact a lot more power can be squeezed out of a small displacement engine while keeping it economical and reliable. look at cosworth and other manufacturers getting 300+ out of a 4 cup easily
Lets hope it's not as bad as the 8C
Kind of disappointed. This is fast and everything and very similar in weight and HP to the Exige but I had been hearing 300 and got excited. Maybe a performance variant will have the 300 HP that would separate it from the Exige.
This thing will still be fast. Like a Lotus Elise I assume. Only without horrid interior
The Italian lotus. I like it.
