The bare-bones 4C is offered exclusively in Spider form for 2020 as the hardtop bites the dust. The Spider does offer the same exact features, however. The exterior features solar control glass, body-colored side mirrors, halogen headlights, and LED taillights. Inside the cabin, you get a manually adjustable air conditioning system, a set of leather seats, and an infotainment system with AM/FM and Bluetooth capability. Most importantly, you get a full carbon fiber monocoque which keeps the weight down to around 2,500 pounds, and a turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 237 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a dual-clutch six-speed automatic transmission. Safety equipment includes an advanced traction control system and five airbags. The available Italia special edition package adds Misano Blue Metallic paint, glossy black trim on the front and rear bumpers, aluminum dashboard plate with the Italia logo and a number plate denoting its rarity, as well as exterior features such as yellow brake calipers and a performance exhaust system.
As basic as the 4C is, Alfa Romeo will allow new owners the luxury of kitting their cars out with a healthy number of appearance and performance options. Starting with the exterior, you can get a set of carbon fiber side mirrors for only $800, or why not go with the 18-inch dark fan spoked alloy wheels for $2,700. The brake calipers can also be painted black, red, or yellow for $550. We love the $3,000 carbon fiber halo, and would most certainly go for the $250 leather and microfiber steering wheel. For those who are in it purely for the driving, the $800 race-tuned suspension setup and $3,100 Akrapovic dual-mode exhaust are must-have items.
