BaT Auction: Original-Owner 2k-Mile 2018 Alfa Romeo 4C Coupe

This 2018 Alfa Romeo 4C coupe was purchased new from Essence Alfa Romeo of Hurst, Texas by the selling dealer for use as a personal vehicle. The car is finished in Alfa Rosso over black leather and powered by a mid-mounted turbocharged 1.7L inline-four paired with a six-speed dual-clutch transaxle. Factory equipment includes 18″ and 19″ wheels, Brembo brake calipers, air conditioning, and an Alpine stereo. This 4C indicates just over 2k miles and is offered by the selling dealer with manufacturer’s literature, a detail kit, an Alfa Romeo-branded bag, a window sticker, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Texas title.

The 4C was built around a carbon-fiber chassis with aluminum subframes, resulting in a weight of less than 2,500 pounds for the North American market. This example’s composite body panels are finished in Alfa Rosso, and SunTek paint protection film has been professionally applied to the entire body of the vehicle according to the seller.

Factory 18″ and 19″ Dark 5-Hole wheels wear Pirelli P Zero tires that show date codes from 2016 and 2017. The factory braking system features silver-painted calipers fitted over drilled rotors at all four corners.

The cockpit features bolstered seats upholstered in black leather with red contrasting stitching as well as a matching dash, door panels, and 4C-branded floor mats. Amenities include carbon fiber interior accents, air conditioning, floor-mounted aluminum pedals, a lockable rear storage bag, and an Alpine CD player.

A flat-bottom steering wheel equipped with paddle shifters sits ahead of a 7″ TFT screen that displays a configurable digital instrument cluster. A factory programmable system allowing for three modes of driving is controlled via the DNA (Dynamic, Natural, All-Weather) toggle switch on the center console. The odometer indicates just over 2k miles.

The mid-mounted turbocharged 1,742cc inline-four features direct injection and was factory-rated at 237 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, which is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed dual-clutch transaxle. Service performed in May 2020 included a brake fluid flush, installation of a new air filter, and an oil change.

The window sticker shows factory colors and equipment as well as an original MSRP of $64,995. Manufacturer’s literature, an optional detail kit, an air compressor, and an Alfa Romeo-branded bag accompany the car.

The August 2020 Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists registration and service history with a single owner in Texas.
