As far as I know, the 4C is Alfa's only ever mid-engined road car and, sadly, looks like being the company's last ever sports model (gasp!), with an announcement from Turin that future manufacturing will focus SUVs and - wait for it - electric cars (groan!). That makes the 4C a contemporary classic, given that there isn't even a glimmer of a hope that it'll be replaced or even updated, spelling the end of one of the world's most revered sports car lineups.   That said, what a way to exit the scene! The 4C is classically Alfa with a signature heart-shaped grille that's particularly reminiscent of those of the 1950s Giulietta , bold five-hole wheels and all round Italian flair, although in terms of concept, it's more akin to Fiat's X1/9. Inspiration from the 1950s The cars not just sexy Italian-styling, though ; it's built around a carbon fibre monocoque chassis that keeps its weight down to a bee's penis plus or minus 1
