Cars Release Date

Theres a lot to like about the production Alfa Romeo 4C, from its ultra-lightweight construction that uses carbon fiber components to keep the dry weight at a surprisingly low 895kg or 1,973 pounds, to its nicely crafted body, and one thing to hate: those spider eye-style headlamps that look like a bad afterthought.

Of course, it could be just us and a bunch of other gearheads we talked to and who said the same thing, so if you disagree, dont be shy to share your feelings in the comments.

Now, the reason why were coming back to the 236HP (240PS) Alfa 4C that was unwrapped earlier today at the Geneva Auto Show isnt to talk about its lights, but to tell you that the Italian brand has released the first promotion videos of the mid-engine sports car, and launched a primitive online configurator.

Alfa tells us in one of the videos that the full-spec configurator will be available in June. The one thats online now, only gives the chance to choose from two colors for the body and interior trim.

At Alfa Romeos Geneva motor show press conference, the Italian companys CEO Harald Wester confirmed the 4Cs North American premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November, with first deliveries before the end of the year.

While Alfa wont reveal pricing for the United States until the LA show, Wester did say that the 4C Launch Edition shown in Geneva will be priced at €60,000 (US$78,000) in Europe where it goes on sale in September.
