Alfa Romeo is
attempting to make the world notice the aging 4C again with a launch of the
Competizione Limited Edition. The Italian car manufacturer is building just 108
units of the 4C Competizione Limited Edition for global markets, 10 of which
are bound for Australia shores priced at a cool AUD 119,000 (US$ 80,817).
Changes made to the
4C Competizione Limited Edition are limited compared the standard model. Most
notably, the car comes standard with an Akrapovic dual-mode exhaust system that
provides different exhaust notes depending on what driving mode the owner has
selected. For example, in Normal and All-weather modes, the exhaust is very
quiet while in Race mode, it pumps out a sonorous soundtrack.
The 4C Competizione
Limited Edition will be available solely in Vesuvio Matte Grey paint complete
with a matte black and red livery on the bonnet, roof, and rear decklid. There
is also a carbon fiber rear spoiler, carbon wing mirrors, and carbon side air intakes.
Dark alloy wheels measure 18-inches at the front and 19-inches at the rear come
standard and sit over a set of red brake calipers.
As for the cabin,
it receives black leather and microfiber seats as well as a leather sport
steering wheel with microfiber inserts and red stitching. Each example will
also be fitted with a numbered limited edition badge stamped proudly in the
center console and an Alpine Premium Sound System that includes a subwoofer
mounted behind the seats.
The car is powered
by the same 1.75-liter turbocharged four-cylinder as standard models delivering
237 HP and 350 Nm of torque.
