Witness The Fury Of This Alfa Romeo 4C-Shaped V8 Monster
Before we go any further, you should probably know that this isn’t really an Alfa Romeo 4C. Like the mad 600bhp 4C we looked at a couple of years ago it’s been made for the purposes of hill climbing, but unlike that car, this is a purpose-built racing car with a 4C-like body dumped on top.
In other words it’s a silhouette racer, but don’t let that put you off, as the 700kg ‘MG-AR1’ looks like an incredible piece of kit. It’s powered by a 3.0-litre Zytek V8, which produces 460bhp and a very shouty 9000rpm. It sounds great in this new Imola-shot testing footage, don’t you think?
It’s a relatively gentle run, but a quick search turned up the video below from last year which sees the MG-AR1 in a rather more aggressive mode of attack. You may want to find some headphones for this!
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.

So they have putted a body of a 4C (a modiified body) on a non 4C chasis
I ain’t even mad, this is brutal, stupid and defenetly a best way of saying “Why? Because we can!”
I’ve seen that face before, I just cant remember where…
Literally the definition of awesome
It looks like someone called it ugly and it’s now upset
To clarify I think it looks awesome
Your looks exactly like ghost face and I like it
So isnt it an 8c now
For what i know has still the original carbon tub and in some videos it’s clearly visible but modified so apart from these mods and the new powertrain it’s still a 4c
I just farted…
Omg that noise, better than this just a 747B
This is madness.
