DRIVEN: Alfa Romeo 4C Test Drive - Is It Everything You Hoped It Would Be?

Recently, Drive sent Chris Harris to Italy to review the new Alfa Romeo 4C, and subsequently published this video chronicling the test. We get a good idea of what it’s like to drive the car, plus all the sights and sounds of the gorgeous new Alfa being flogged on the road and at the track.

 

Harris offers several insights into the 4C:

 

With a focus on lightness, the 4C has an excellent power-to-weight ratio—even better than a Porsche Cayman S.

 

Effortless speed comes from loads of torque, but it takes some getting used to to be able to master.

 

Harris did find some comfort issues, though, as the thinly padded seats weren’t great to spend time in, and the steering wheel felt clunky in hand.
