Spring day, dream roads, and two super lightweight sports cars to put to the test.
In reality, there is only one model: the Alfa Romeo 4C, emblem of the Italian sports car.
Both in the Coupe version, driven by Francesco, lighter and focused on performance, and in the Spider version, tested by Michele, which allows for a driving experience with the wind in your hair.
The model is now out of the new car market, but the fun is guaranteed.
Weight is the focal point of the 4C project: consider that its chassis, made of a carbon fiber monocoque, weighs just 73 kg, while the body is made of a lightweight and strong composite (SMC) as resistant as steel.
The 4C Coupe weighs 895 kg dry, while the 4C Spider tips the scales at 940 kg.
Okay, that's 45 kg more, but it's forgiven with a magnetic silhouette, especially when you have time to remove the small canvas roof and store it in the small trunk.
A small sacrifice worth making, weather permitting.
