2006 Alfa Romeo announces the production of the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione,
a limited-series, high-performance V8-powered coupe. Highly in demand for its
remarkable styling and performance capabilities, only 500 models were produced
and quickly sold, with just under 100 distributed in North America. Fans have
been eagerly awaiting the return of Alfa Romeo ever since.

Alfa Romeo 4C is a single carbon fiber

and supercars. The latest outcome is amazing: a curb weight
of under 2,500 lbs propelled by 237 hp,
giving a weight-to-power ratio of 10.4:1. This is
a figure that promises genuine supercar agility
and performance. This impressively low weight
has been achieved by using ultralight materials
like carbon fiber, aluminum and composites,
all chosen for maximum dynamic efficiency.
Just over 13 feet in length, 6 feet in width and
only 46.6 inches in height, the design choices
of the 4C are just as bold as its dimensions.
The result is fast, powerful and evolved.

Optimized airflow
The advanced engine technology of the Alfa Romeo 4C maximizes
torque at low engine speeds and delivers more power in response to
driver input. The control unit determines the valve timing to encourage
fresh airflow from the intake through to the exhaust during the overlap
period. By improving the circulation in the combustion chamber,
this direct flow increases combustion efficiency and turbine speed
and reduces turbo lag.
Turbocharger
The engine is also equipped with a new-generation turbocharger and a
pulse converter exhaust manifold that uses pressure waves to boost
torque at low engine speeds. The manifold and the turbine are made
from microcast steel and designed to operate at very high temperatures
(over 1,000F) a prerequisite to low fuel consumption on medium/
high-speed highway trips. The wastegate valve is another essential
device for engine efficiency. This adjusts turbo pressure control logic
to suit driving conditions, minimizing pumping losses.
after-run pump
Like all top competition cars, the 4C uses an automatic cool-down
system to protect its turbocharger. Switching off the engine would
normally cause the immediate stoppage of oil circulation, leaving
the oil in the turbocharger to stagnate at very high temperatures.
The thermal stress suffered by the oil under these conditions causes
a loss of lubricating capacity and also leads to the formation of
residues that can damage the engine. To prevent this, Alfa Romeo
has introduced an after-run pump. This electric pump is automatically
controlled by the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and keeps oil
circulating through the turbocharger until it has cooled sufficiently.
