2015 Detroit Auto Show: Alfa Romeo 4C Spider Unveiled

By Rajkamal

The production version of the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider has been unveiled at the 2015 North American International Auto Show, combining scintillating performance with open-top thrills and the unmistakable soundtrack of an Italian, performance-tuned engine and exhaust.

The bodywork is made entirely from SMC (sheet moulded compound), a low-density, high-strength composite material that is 20 percent lighter and dimensionally more rigid than steel, and even the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider's windscreen and side windows have been optimised for lightness, using 10 percent thinner glass to reduce weight by up to 15 percent.
