Alfa Romeo 4C speeds into production with £45,000 price tag

Imagine your dream car. What might it include. Lightweight carbon-fiber construction, high-tech engine behind the seats, legendary Italian badge on the nose. The thing is, that usually means a big fat price tag that runs well into the six figures, if not seven. But while this latest Italian sports car is set to include all those ingredients, its price point is set decidedly lower.

We're talking about the Alfa Romeo 4C, the nimble-looking little number that debuted in delicious matte red at the Geneva show last year, and in liquid-metal finish in Frankfurt just a few months ago.
