    Alfa has decided it will appear at Frankfurt in a silver finish the Italian manufacturer has dubbed ?fluid metal?.

Alfa Romeo has given its 4C Concept a new paint job for the Frankfurt motor show.

Many carmakers exhibit a concept car at one show after another, unchanged. But Alfa has decided that after its appearance the Geneva Motor Show last April, the 4C Concept should have a change of wardrobe. Or at least the outer garment.

At Geneva is was finished in lava red – a coat of Alfa Romeo Metallic Red over Metallic Black, that produced black shadows coupled with bold red highlights to accentuate the lines and planes of the bodywork.

We love it. However Alfa has decided it will appear at Frankfurt in a silver finish the Italian manufacturer has dubbed ‘fluid metal’.

Alfa says it has also refined the 4C’s technology, and has confirmed its weight at around an ultralight 850kg, the engine delivering more than 149kW, giving it a power to weight ratio less than 4kg/hp. It is reported to have a top speed of more 250km/h and to get to 100km/h in less thanr 5 seconds.

  • Very nice! I have always loved the look of Alfa's. Pity they always seem to be underpowered. I hope this one can right the wrongs.
