Alfa Romeo 4C Performance Overview

A compact mid-engine sports car built for a brief 2014 to 2015 run, the Alfa Romeo 4C is represented here by 10 verified tests across its full production span. Throughout that period, its performance identity stayed tightly focused: a turbocharged 1750 TBi four-cylinder making 237–240 hp, rear-wheel drive, and gasoline-only power. Early testing set the tone immediately, with the 2014 Coupe (Euro Spec) reaching 60 mph in 4.2 seconds as the first benchmark for the model.

By 2015, the same formula produced the quickest verified result of 4.1 seconds to 60 mph in the 2015 Coupe, which also recorded the model’s best quarter-mile at 12.8 seconds at 107 mph. Other 2015 Coupe runs clustered closely around that mark, including 4.2, 4.3, and 4.6 seconds to 60 mph, illustrating how consistently the car performed in independent testing. Across all recorded results, the 4C averaged 4.26 seconds to 60 mph and 12.91 seconds in the quarter-mile at 106.9 mph. With no later generation or powertrain expansion into hybrid or electric variants during this span, the 4C stands today as a short-run, single-generation model defined by low-4-second acceleration from a small turbocharged gasoline engine.

How we verify Alfa Romeo 4C performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Alfa Romeo 4C trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.
