Along came a Spider - Alfa Romeo 4C drop-top coming to U.S. - Chron.com
The Alfa Romeo 4C Spider, the convertible version of the brand's premium high-performance 4C Coupe, is expected to arrive in U. S. showrooms in August. What does this mean for sports car enthusiasts. Plenty, if:. You're a fan of Alfa Romeo styling and flair, exemplified by cars like the Duetto (the spiffy convertible Dustin Hoffman drove in "The Graduate") or the iconic Tipo 33 or 159 Alfetta racecars. You're a tech geek who sees beyond the Spider's eye-pleasing curves. You know innovation and value cutting-edge technology such as carbon fiber monocoque chassis, twin-clutch transmission with automatic mode, aluminum suspension and mid-engine/rear-wheel drive layout. You're a sports car purist who loves a light, well-balanced machine that provides accurate, razor-sharp response, amazing traction and plenty of feedback. You're a bargain hunter and savvy enough to realize that the 4C Spider's $63,900 starting price is a relative bargain (if you can find one at MSRP) for a vehicle with the 4C's technology and features. You want your car to stand out in a sea of boring, look-alike rides. You prefer luxury car ride comfort. This is a no-compromise sports car. Source: www.chron.com
