is just the first car in a planned revival of the Alfa Romeo brand. Whether or not that revival ever happens, the 4C is a very cool little car.

It combines aluminum and carbon fiber in a two-seat, mid-engine sports coupe with a 1.75-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 237hp and 258lb-ft (350Nm) with a dual-clutch transmission. It weighs in at 1,973lb (895kg) and can get to 100km/h in 4.5 seconds. 

While those facts and figures are great, they do not tell the whole story. The 4C sounds fantastic to with a raspy exhaust note and just the hint of turbo whistle.
