This Has To Be The World's Angriest Alfa Romeo 4C
This madly modified 4C is now running 600bhp, and it can be seen here tearing up the Trofeo Vallecamonica hillclimb in Italy
While this monster may still look like a 4C, there’s not a whole lot of the original car left. The original carbonfibre tub is still there, but that’s about it. The wheelbase has been extended by 30mm, while the suspension is now a push-road setup. The wheels are dinky 13-inch, single-seater style jobbies with fat tyres, and the 1750cc engine is now mounted longitudinally instead of transversely. It produces a massive 600bhp at 8200rpm, chucking its power to the rear via a Hewland TMT-200 sequential gearbox.

How awesome would it be if this were to compete in WRC..
Wheels size look ridiculous but other than that..
I don’t think the suspension setup and the aero would be what you need in WRC. And also, 600hp in a rwd car on gravel? This would be fun for sure, but I highly doubt that it would be fast.
Isn’t it “push-rod”-suspension?
Or is there another gap in my knowledge?
It’s… ruined. It’s pretty cool for one time but it’s ruined. Wing too big, sound is meh… 4C looks smooth and is supposed to look so
same opinion here, but look, this is a race car, so performance its in the first place :)
Well, the wing is for traction and the exhaust system is laid out for power rather than sound. This is a race car, not a show car.
FailRace The almighty wing!
THE WANG!
When they were making this a phsycic told them that he could “4C” that this would one day feature on Car Throttle.
KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!
“push-road”
FailRace would like that.
