2011 Alfa Romeo 4C Concept

Planned to go on sale during 2013, the Alfa Romeo 4C Concept exhibited in Frankfurt Motor Show is distinguished by a new and exclusive ‘Fluid Metal’ exterior colour. The concept presents the formula of the two-seater, rear-wheel drive coupe with its central engine, a length of approximately 4 meters and a wheelbase of less than 2.4 meters.

The Alfa Romeo 4C Concept uses technology and materials derived from the 8C Competizione – carbon, aluminium, rear-wheel drive – and technology from Alfa Romeo models currently on sale: the 1750 turbo petrol engine with direct injection, the ‘Alfa TCT’ twin dry clutch transmission and the Alfa D.N.A. selector for dynamic control of the car, in short all the best of the Alfa Romeo DNA Technology.

Located centrally in the rear of the vehicle, the engine in the Alfa Romeo 4C Concept ensures performance which matches or exceeds that of a 3 litre engine whilst still delivering the moderate fuel consumption which is typical of a compact, 4 cylinder engine. Coupled with the new automatic ‘Alfa TCT’ twin dry clutch transmission, now available on the MiTo and Giulietta, the powerful 1750 Turbo petrol engine allows the 4C Concept to reach a top speed of over 250 km/h and to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under 5 seconds.

2011 Novitec Alfa Romeo Giulietta

Power is no sin and thus NOVITEC now also offers custom-tailored versions of its tried and proven POWERJET 2 tuning modules for the turbocharged gasoline models of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. After the plug-and-play installation of the auxiliary control module the 1.4 TB 16V model produces 141 hp / 104 kW of power, up from standard 120 hp / 88 kW. Power output of the NOVITEC-tuned MultiAir engine with identical displacement jumps from 170 hp / 125 kW to a powerful 195 hp / 141 kW.

NOVITEC engine tuning is also available for the 1.8-liter turbocharged engine of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. The POWERJET 2 module bumps power output of the four-valve, four-cylinder engine by 26 hp / 19 kW and boosts peak torque to 386 Nm. Thus equipped the Italian speedster produces 261 hp / 192 kW and sprints from rest to 100 km/h in just 6.5 seconds on the way to a new top speed of 251 km/h. Despite its outstanding efficiency the engine tuning is a great bargain at just EUR 419.
NOVITEC power tuning is also available for the three turbodiesel engines of the Giulietta. The POWERRAIL 5 module, which also installs easily by means of a plug connector, lends the 1.6 JTD 16V model an extra 15 hp / 11 kW of power.
In the 2.0 JTD 16V model with a standard power output of 140 hp / 103 kW the auxiliary control unit unleashes an extra 20 hp / 14.7 kW. Power output of the also available 170-hp diesel model with custom-calibrated NOVITEC auxiliary control unit jumps to 195 hp / 143 kW while peak torque grows by 50 Nm to 400 Nm. The NOVITEC POWERRAIL 5 modules are available for EUR 335.
Another focal point of the NOVITEC tuning program for the Giulietta lies in the handling. The measures include custom-tailored alloy wheels with diameters of 18, 19 or 20 inches. The king-sized version features NOVITEC N10 20-inch wheels, available with a silver or matte-black finish. In size 8.5Jx20 and shod with size 235/50 R 20 Pirelli P Zero tires they perfectly fill the wheel wells.
