Alpha Romeo 4C gets wild with animal-inspired wrap

By CARSIFU | 31 May 2016


ROME: A two-seater Alpha Romeo 4C coupe gets wrapped in an animal-inspired print that's similar to that used by the X15 and Ace 16 football boots that form the Deadly Focus Pack, which are part of Adidas' Limited Collection range.

The company that undertook the wrapping was Garage Italia Customs, whose founder is Lapo Elkann - the same person along with fashion company Italia Independent that came up with the shoes to begin with.

Although the 4C is already three years old, the coupe with a carbon fibre monocoque chassis, composite body, 17-inch wheels and 895kg of dry heft from Modena, Italy looks reborn.

There's no other upgrades in terms of performance, handling and aerodynamics other than its new-found looks to go together with its 240PS at 6,000rpm and 350Nm of torque from 2,100rpm that's produced for the rear wheels by a 1,750cc turbocharged all-aluminium mid-mounted engine with a twin-clutch-transmission.

Such figures will get occupants up to 100kph from standstill in 4.5 seconds before reaching a top speed of 258kph while allowing them to experience up to 1.1 times the weight of their bodies around corners (1.1g) with the help of Pirelli P Zero AR tyres.
