The Alfa Romeo 4C is set to make its official debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show, but the Italian car company has let nearly final images of its new car slip ahead of the show. The 4C is a new sports coupe that is headed for the U.S. This is big news as Alfa Romeo hasn’t sold a car in the U.S. in almost 20 years.
The Alfa Romeo 4C gets its look from the company’s 33 Stradale. The sports coupe is set to be small, as in Lotus small. Engine-wise, the 4C will be powered by a turbo 1.75-liter four-cylinder engine that is said to have more than 200 horsepower. The 4C is expected to arrive in America in 2013.
