Alfa Romeo 4C Pic1

By Duncan Mil

October 14, 2013 - Alfa Romeo’s eagerly awaited 4C sports coupé is the world’s first production car to feature “prepreg” carbon fibre technology. Carbon fibre was chosen for the one-piece monocoque due its high levels of structural rigidity and exceptionally low weight -- just 65kg -- and is built using sophisticated Formula 1-derived technologies.
