Get An Up-Close Look At This Coachbuilt Alfa Romeo 4C Reimagination
Just in case you were worried that the incredible one-off, coach-built Alfa Romeo 4C we saw last week was merely a very very good render, here’s some video footage of the beast.
Called the ‘Mole Costruzione Artigianale 001’, it’s the work of Umberto Palermo Design and Adler Group. Its striking aesthetic looks to be incorporating various elements from cars like the Giulia and Stelvio, and the results are very pleasing indeed.
As far as we know, it’s mechanically identical to the 4C. That means the 001 is powered by a mid-mounted 1.75-litre inline-four turbo, pushing 236bhp to the rear wheel exclusively via a dual-clutch transmission. Assuming the weight isn’t significantly different to the donor car, it’ll be good for a 0-62mph time of 4.5 seconds.
The car was filmed at the Parco Valentino Salone Auto in Turin at the weekend, where it no doubt turned many heads. On the move, we’d argue looks even more visually arresting. We might just be in love…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

This is the supercar we need, not the one we deserve. It just needs the engine to suit it. F136 anyone?
Ew
I mean I like the first one of the 4C a lot but this also looks so goooood. Also I was just thinking. What if we took a 4C, changed the body but kept the small chassis, added a meaty V6 and gave it to lancia to rebadge as a stratos before lancia soon dies completely . We should make a go fund me page so enthusiasts can save lancia!
Yes!!!!!!!!!!
That would be pretty much be the 6C since it has 6 cylinders
What I think..
good idea. rebadge is the way to save lancia.
The front is disgusting
Not really
Ok THIS IS MY OPINION
but feel free to disagree
1.75L engine?? It must have a huge turbo for that 0-60 time
It weighs less than 1000kg, that’s the key to this car
The 4C weighs about 950kg.
Is it just me or did the video links stop working for iphones??
Android master race
I like the older 4C front a lot more than this one. It looks like a bug now
Headlights are so far apart, that each one of them has its own post code

4c, it’s one of my favorite car, I would love to have. I’m only affraid that before price for used one will drop to “kind of new mx5 money” it will be already rare and old and uniq that it will start to gain value :/
I doubt the 4C ha s classic car potential to be honest with you.
After seeing it IRL i can say that i’m in love with it!
