The Alfa Romeo 4C seems to have lost none of its handling poise despite gaining 155 Kg/342 Lbs for the American market. It looks like the perfect car to hit one of your favorite windy roads – Matt Farah’s favorite is the “Snake,” a distinctly twisty part of LA’s Mulholland Drive where he recently took a US-spec 4C for a short drive.
The video posted below is shot with a three camera setup, so we’re able to see that you have to fight the steering a bit through the corners, as well as trying to stay on the boost – the noise is a bit too linear, though, and the red line can creep up sooner than you’d expect… It looks and sounds like a real hoot!
The low-capacity engine does betray its turbocharged nature, but only below 4,000 rpm, most of the time providing real punch.
Farah first compares it to a Lotus, but ends up concluding that with its noticeable extra stiffness, it feels more like a mini-Ferrari…
