Alfa Romeo Exec Sheds Some Light on the 4C’s EV Successor

The Alfa Romeo 4C is one of the most eye-catching models to debut from the Italian automaker in the last decade. Bidding farewell to the ICE model in 2019, reports have surfaced suggesting that an all-electric successor may debut in 2028.

Colloquially referred to as the “4E” (“4” derived from the 4C and “E” representing the electric powertrain), plans regarding the production of the anticipated electric roadster appear to be shaping up. Official information regarding the inner workings of the 4E is few and far between. Speculation suggests that the roadster, which may adopt the “Spider” suffix, could be founded on the same platform as the upcoming electric Giulia. The STLA Medium platform allows for the use of a high-output battery and drivetrain. The 4E could have a high charging capacity, a two-second 0 to 100 km/h sprint time and a range greater than 800 km.

During an interview with Autocar at the launch of the 33 Stradale, Alfa Romeo’s head of product, Daniel Guzzaframe, had this to say: “Alfa Romeo is Spider, and when you think about Spider, you think about Alfa Romeo. At the moment, we’re stable enough and we do have the right basis. The main point is to make sure that when we do it, we are credible, are sustainable and don’t just throw something on the market for the sake of it.”

In terms of its design, while there is no official confirmation, it is likely to borrow and build upon some of the styling cues we’ve seen in the recently unveiled 33 Stradale. Components such as the bonnet, grille, and the iconic “Coda Tronca” are likely some of the main elements that could be utilised in the fabled 4E.

We’ll continue to monitor the story, but with its debut seemingly set for the tail-end of this decade, it’s unlikely that we’ll see any news of it soon.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
