Ever since we first laid eyes on the Alfa Romeo 4C,
we've been thinking that the top just needs to come down. The
ultralight two-seater looks made to drive with the air rushing through
your hair, and a convertible version is finally on the way. Alfa Romeo
revealed the 4C Spider last week at the Geneva Motor Show.While it's called a "Design Preview," this appears to be nothing more than a technicality because this car looks like it's ready to roll into dealerships as is. Alfa says that it will begin Spider production early next year.
In order to give the 4C the proper roof shaving it's long deserved, Alfa strengthened the structure of the car to meet convertible regulations. As usual, this process added weight, but the Italian automaker was able to keep that addition to around 132 lb (60 kg) thanks to the use of carbon fiber roll bars, spoilers and windshield surround. The elimination of the rear windshield and the soft canvas top also helped. The convertible maintains the 40:60 front-rear weight distribution of the coupé.
