At the 2014 Geneva Auto Show Alfa Romeo presented the 4C Spider. The car was amazing, but I just found a way to make it even more stunning.
The inspiration came from the old 750 Competizione, an awesome racecar of the Fifties produced by Alfa Romeo. I saw it in person, and the body tipe, called "Barchetta" by Italians, gave to the design of the car an impressive impetum.
The name comes from the Alfa Romeo 8C Monza, another winning sportscar of the late Thirties, also driven by the brilliant italian driver Tazio Nuvolari, probably the greatest one. It was part of that category which after twenty years would become the Formula One. In this photo there is a copy prepared and tuned by the Scuderia Ferrari from Maranello.
The car is a "Barchetta" with a single seat. The cockpit remains the same for the driver: wheel, dashboard, cowl, sports seat.
The sideskirts extract the air from the inside of the front wheels and throw it out ahead of the rear wheels.
The Quadrifoglio Verde emblem reminds us we have a very nasty car.
To improve the breath of the 1750 aluminium Alfa Romeo engine improved with another turbine (now it lets off the leash 290 BHP circa) there is a new air vent just next to the driver.
The whole aerodynamics of the car have been improved with four new flaps and a new racing splitter on the front, and a bigger rear diffuser.
If you feel your opponents are not distanced enough, look at the central mirror, like the gentlemen drivers used to do in the Seventies.
Forgot this was an Alfa? It has a huge Alfa Romeo emblem applied on the front-left part of the car, and the Quadrifoglio Verde emblem on the side.
Got impatient? Here it is the Alfa Romeo 4C Monza!
