阿尔法罗密欧在本届北美车展发布了4C Spider敞篷车。该车在设计上保留了4C轿跑车的绝大部分外观，车身侧面增加了雕刻感进气口，同时配备可拆卸和收纳织物软顶并可选装碳纤维硬顶。敞篷版的前大灯更具吸引力，行李箱盖具备吸热功能并集成了空气动力学效果进一步优化的扰流器，而尾灯组采用LED技术。车尾还可以选装Akrapovic天蝎高性能排气系统及中置排气尾管及周边碳纤维装饰。此外，该车还提供了四个合金轮圈，尺寸从17至19英寸，可搭配银色、红色、黄色或黑色刹车卡钳。消费者还可以选择七种车身涂装，而车厢内采用六种颜色组合，座椅采用两种装饰材料。车顶虽然结构更复杂，但重量仅增加了10公斤，因此不会对性能造成影响。该车动力系统与硬顶版共享，同为一台1.75升四缸涡轮增压汽油引擎，功率177千瓦/237马力，扭矩350牛米，搭配双离合器变速器和方向盘换挡拨片，换挡时间仅需130毫秒。车辆0-96公里/小时加速时间4.1秒，最高时速258公里。车厢内配版两个复合结构运动真皮座椅，平底真皮方向盘，铝制踏板，空调出风口周围采用碳纤维装饰，7英寸彩色数字仪表群。此外，还有支持HD数字广播，SiriusXM收音机USB及iPod接口和蓝牙流媒体的阿尔派环绕音响。阿尔法罗密欧表示，该车将于今年夏季在美国和加拿大上市。
Alfa Romeo 4C Spider drops its top in Detroit
Alfa Romeo 4C Spider has made its official debut on the dawn of the North American International Auto Show.
Alfa Romeo has retained most of the 4C Coupe's design and they added sculpted air intakes on the sides while the removable & stowable cloth roof will be available alongside an optional exposed carbon fiber hardtop. The open-air version also gets far more attractive headlights, a deck lid with three functional heat extractors and an aero-optimized spoiler while the taillights come with LED technology. Also at the back is an optional Akrapovic performance exhaust system with center-mounted tips that have carbon fiber surrounds.
The 4C Spider comes with four fresh alloy wheel designs in sizes ranging from 17 to 19 inches and matched with silver, red, yellow or black brake calipers. The client can choose from one of the seven exterior paints available, including the new Giallo (yellow) hue while inside there are six combinations with two seat material options. The added complexity of the roof has increased weight by only 22 lbs (10 kg) which means the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider should be just as fun to drive as its fixed roof sibling.
Power comes from the same four-cylinder, 1.75-liter turbocharged gasoline engine delivering 237 bhp (177 KW) and 258 lb-ft (350 Nm) of torque through a twin-clutch gearbox with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters changing gears in only 130 milliseconds. It completes the 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) run in 4.1 seconds and will top out at 160 mph (258 km/h).
On the inside it boasts two composite-framed sport seats covered in leather, a flat-bottomed leather-wrapped steering wheel, aluminum pedals, carbon fiber vent surrounds and a seven-inch color digital cluster. The 4C Spider comes with an Alpine sound system with support for HD radio, SiriusXM Radio, USB & iPod connectivity and Bluetooth streaming.
Alfa Romeo says deliveries in United States and Canada are scheduled to begin this summer.
