ItaliaspeedTV – 81st Geneva Motor Show 2011: Alfa Romeo 4C Concept

Alfa Romeo has officially previewed the new 4C sports car concept fitted with the powerful 1750 turbocharged engine as well as the TCT transmission and the brand’s “DNA” button, just as it makes its debut at the 81st Geneva Motor Show this morning, while at the same time VW Chairman Ferdinand Piech has again registered his keen interest in Alfa Romeo at the Swiss motor show. In its press release issued this morning Alfa Romeo closes with a final line that claims the 4C is destined for production: “This car is not simply an exercise in style created for the motor show; it will be on sale in 2012 and is set to reinforce Alfa Romeo’s global growth.” While the 4C Concept was getting all the attention this morning, VW Chairman Piech last night at a special event suggested that in VW’s hands the Alfa Romeo brand could reach 400000 units sales by 2016. Last year it sold just 112000 cars
