Wikipedia
 
The Alfa Romeo 4C (Type 960) is a mid-engined, lightweight, rear-wheel drive sports car. Available in coupé and spider body style, it uses a carbon fiber tub, front and rear crash box, and hybrid rear subframe mainly out of aluminum to keep weight at 895 kilograms (1,973 lb) and 1,050 kilograms (2,315 lb) in the United States. Modeled upon the 037 Lancia, Toyota's second generation MR2, and in particular the Lotus M250 prototype, the 4C is Alfa Romeo's first mass-produced vehicle of the 21st century to re-enter the North American automotive market.

Along comes a Spider... And what a good-looking spider it is! It's like the '80s all over again. Majorette is back in the USA. Alfa Romeo is back in the USA. Now if we can just get Renault, Peugeot, and Citroen back I'd be happy.

Production of 4C began May 2013 at Maserati's plant in Modena, with an expected production of up to 2500 units per year. It will be the first mass-produced Alfa Romeo car for re-entry into the US market.

Production of Alfa Romeo 4C was originally estimated to be over 1000 units per year, with an upper limit of 3500 units per year, depending on the quantity of carbon fiber chassis that can be built by the supplier Adler Plastic. Within the 3,500-unit quota, 1,000 units of which are earmarked for Europe

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
After seeing pix of the real car in a magazine, I decided quickly I don't like it. I do like the way Majorette did it up, so I am pleased overall to see it arrive in the USA and wish them good luck. I'm waiting for my first Grand Find when I find an outlet here for Majorette. :) :)
