The seller offers for sale this 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition, a lightweight, mid-engined sports car representing one of Alfa Romeo’s most striking returns to form in recent decades. Powered by a 1.75-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine producing 241 hp, this coupe features a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The Launch Edition was a limited production model, with only 200 examples made worldwide. This car is number 042 in that series, making it a rare collector’s piece.

Weighing under 900 kg thanks to its carbon fiber monocoque and composite body panels, the 4C offers sharp, unfiltered driving characteristics. The factory-finished metallic red paint is original throughout, with no repainting or touch-ups reported. The Akrapovic dual-exit exhaust system delivers a distinctive sound signature that matches the car’s aggressive styling.

The interior balances function and minimalism. It features deeply contoured sports seats trimmed in leather with red accents, carbon fiber trim throughout, and a multifunctional steering wheel. A digital gauge cluster replaces traditional dials, and the infotainment system offers Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, and music playback. Controls are focused toward the driver, with a clean and uncluttered dashboard layout.

Both the exterior and interior present in a preserved state. The paintwork is original and reportedly free from damage or fading. Body panels are straight and panel fit appears factory correct. Inside, the leather, carbon trim, and seat bolsters show minimal wear. All controls function as intended. No known modifications or upgrades have been made beyond what was fitted at the factory.

The Alfa Romeo 4C was introduced as a concept in 2011 and entered production shortly after as a bold move by Alfa to re-establish itself as a maker of serious sports cars. The 4C draws inspiration from lightweight classics like the 33 Stradale and Alfa’s racing heritage, placing strong emphasis on low weight and driver involvement.

Central to the 4C’s identity is its carbon fiber monocoque, rarely found in cars at this price point. This construction allows for superb chassis rigidity and low curb weight, crucial to the 4C’s handling dynamics. The 1.75-litre turbo engine was borrowed from the Giulietta QV but extensively tuned, offering instant throttle response and strong mid-range torque. The lack of power steering was a deliberate choice to enhance driver feedback.
The Launch Edition adds unique details: carbon fiber front splitter and rear spoiler, bespoke wheels, and numbered plaques. It also features an upgraded suspension setup for more focused handling. This version was launched as a celebration of Alfa Romeo’s return to global markets, including North America.
Although praised for its performance and visual impact, the 4C was sometimes criticised for its basic cabin ergonomics and firm ride. Yet it remains a highly engaging car, especially for those seeking a pure driving experience. Its scarcity and distinctive design give it a strong presence at any event or on the road.
