Alfa Romeo has discontinued the 4C coupe, and soon the 4C Spider is going to say goodbye, too. Alfa is sending off the little rear-wheel-drive targa with a special-edition model that honors the 1967 33 Stradale mid-engine sports car.

Is the Alfa Romeo 4C a good car?
Is the Alfa Romeo 4C a Good Car? No, the 2020 Alfa Romeo 4C isn’t a good car. The 4C has a loud and cramped interior with few amenities. Sure, the 4C’s potent engine and sharp handling are commendable, but overall, this soft-top convertible gives up too much refinement in its pursuit of performance.
Why is the Alfa Romeo 4C being discontinued?
But, as Alfa Romeo’s sales plummet and FCA starts to cut back, the 4C Spider has been canceled – just like the standard 4C at the end of 2018. Alfa Romeo has already stopped production, so the only 4Cs available as of November 2019 are those left in dealer inventories.
Do Alfa Romeos have Ferrari engines?
The suped-up Giulia has them. The “Ferrari-derived” 2.9L Twin Turbo V6 produces 505hp, making it Alfa Romeo’s most powerful production engine ever. It accelerates from 0-60 in a blistering 3.8 seconds, faster, an Alfa rep will cheerfully note, than Mercedes’ sedan with the same price point, the AMG C 63 S (3.9 sec).
Will Alfa Romeo 4C go up in value?
Yep, a brand new 4C (discontinued for 2021) depreciates roughly 10% after a year, an average of $7,000 per year. The average price for a Used Alfa Romeo 4C coupe is around $52,000 while the Spider retails a bit higher at $66,000 on average. This is based on a market study conducted by factoring model years up to 2019.
Alfa 4C is built to encapsulate all of the Alfa Romeo brand values. The ride comfort is brilliant, even on bad roads. The 4C’s styling offers supercar looks for a fraction of the price. The rigid carbon tub gives the 4C impressive handling. The turbocharged engine delivers plenty of torque.
Is there an Alfa Romeo that embodies Alfa values?
Yet no car in recent history has deliberately set out to embody Alfa values. The 8C Competizione helped, of course, but it was really only a concept made good. In truth, it is at least 30 years since Alfa Romeo has built a car for real people that directly and affordably expresses its values.
Should I buy a Toyota 4C?
Still, if you can’t buy yourself a 4C for a while, you can at least admire its specification. It is a very compact coupé with a transverse mid-engine layout, carrying 60 per cent of its weight over its driven rear wheels. It has a standard six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox with paddle shifters.
